Joe Jonas nearly encountered very awkward territory with wife Sophie Turner, having almost kissed her stunt double while filming Game Of Thrones.
Sophie, 23, married Joe, 29, in a spontaneous Las Vegas wedding after the Billboard Music Awards last month, but he might’ve just been thankful he wedded the right person following a mishap on the Game Of Thrones set.
Speaking to Nova’s Smallzy’s Surgery on Thursday, Sophie, who plays Sansa Stark, recalled how her husband nearly kissed her double while filming.
‘On Game Of Thrones actually I had a photo double that people would do double takes at because she looked so much like me,’ Sophie said. ‘It was insane.
‘Even Joe went up to her at one point and tried to give her a kiss and he was like, “Oh, sorry, sorry it’s not Sophie, wrong one!”’
The problem of mistaking doubles didn’t become an issue on set of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, however, with Sophie adding: ‘They don’t really look like me.
‘First of all, they are much fitter, have much more muscle and just better looking aesthetically in general.’
Game Of Thrones came to a controversial end last month, with attention now turning toward the number of spin-offs in the works.
The first spin-off, provisionally titled Bloodmoon, boasts an all-star cast including Naomi Watts, Miranda Richardson, John Simm, and more.
An official synopsis 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.
