Sophie Turner has pinned blame for the Game Of Thrones coffee cup incident entirely on ‘lazy’ Kit Harington.
The final season of the show proved controversial for many reasons, but a coffee cup (which wasn’t from Starbucks) spotted in the back of a shot prompted arguably the biggest furore around the HBO fantasy drama.
Speaking in an interview with Conan O’Brien on Wednesday, Sophie didn’t remain diplomatic over the incident – after receiving some of the blame herself.
She joked: ‘I hear this every day of my life, this coffee cup thing, so it’s good to know that the coffee cup got more press than the final season altogether.’
Asked who was responsible, Sophie said: ‘The coffee cup was where Kit [Harington’s] chair was.
‘First I blamed it on Emilia [Clarke], but I don’t think Emilia would do that.
‘Kit is lazy and I think he would have done that. It was in front of Kit’s chair and then obviously he moved and this picture was taken and it looked like it was in my seat, but I wasn’t there.
‘It was Kit. It was a hundred per cent Kit.’
Sophie has a formidable excuse in her defence too, explaining how she doesn’t drink on set because she wears a corset as Sansa Stark.
‘Because I wear a corset so I either p*ss myself or I throw up,’ Sophie said. ‘So I’ve just got to not take in anything.’
Lovely.
Game Of Thrones might have ended, but attention has now turned to the impending spin-offs in the pipeline.
The first spin-off, provisionally titled Bloodmoon, boasts an all-star cast including Naomi Watts, Miranda Richardson, John Simm, and more.
An official synopsis for the spin-off reads: ‘Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game Of Thrones, the series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age Of Heroes into its darkest hour.
‘And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros’s history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend… it’s not the story we think we know.’
Game Of Thrones Bloodmoon is scheduled to be released in 2020.
