Sophie Turner has revealed how she once hoped Matthew Perry would ask her out on a date when she saw him near her house.
It’s the weird and wonderful crossover we never knew we needed.
The Game Of Thrones actress is now happily Joe Jonas, but has admitted that before meeting the Jonas Brothers star, she had attempted to woo the Friends alum after spotting him when he was rehearsing for a play near her home.
‘Holy balls. Chanandler Bong himself is rehearsing his play right next to my home,’ Sophie tweeted several years ago and during a video for Twitter entitled #BehindtheTweets, she explained that she decided to attempt to woo him by helping him to light his cigarettes.
‘I would walk around the corner every day to go to my local Budgens, which is a great little supermarket, and I would walk around the corner every day and I would see Matthew Perry smoking a cigarette,’ she said.
‘And I bought a lighter from Budgens so that I could walk up to him and offer to light his cigarette. And it was already lit, so, that was just embarrassing.’

Sophie – who met Joe 10 months after the tweet was posted, and got engaged to him in 2017 before tying the knot last month – didn’t give up hope straight away though, as she thought Matthew might see her tweet and then ask her out on a date.
She added: ‘I thought he might see this tweet and then, I don’t know, reach out to me, and ask me on a date or something, but he didn’t.’
Joe and Sophie wed in Las Vegas, and in a video shared on Diplo’s Instagram story, the Game Of Thrones actress was seen heading into a chapel with the Jonas Brothers singer, where they become husband and wife in front of an Elvis impersonator.
The 23-year-old actress wore a flowing white suit and a veil, carrying a bouquet of flowers while Sophie’s groom, 29, was suited and booted at the front of the venue alongside brothers Nick and Kevin, while Dan + Shay performed an acoustic version of their song, Speechless, in the background.
Sophie however has since admitted that its ‘definitely worrying’ just how good life is going for her.
When something great happens to you, something bad is bound to happen. At the moment, I feel incredibly happy,’ she told Australian magazine BW.
