It might be standard fare for siblings to hook up in George R.R. Martin's universe, but former Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner has expressed how she and her old on-screen brother, Kit Harington, were dry-heaving on set after their recent reunion in the upcoming horror, The Dreadful, which houses their first on-screen kiss together.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Turner recalled that the issue got highlighted when she sent Harington the script and he spotted a few problems with what he was reading. “I just got this script for this amazing Gothic horror called The Dreadful, and I was reading through all the characters, and I’m producing it, so the director was asking me, ‘Who do you think?’” she explained. “And immediately the first person I thought of was Kit.”

“He kind of sent me a message back going like, ‘Yeah, I’d love to, but this is going to be really fucking weird, Soph,’” which left Turner perplexed. “And I was like, ‘What is he talking about?’ And then I was reading it and I’m like, kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex, and then I’m like, ‘Oh, shoot, that’s my brother.’”

“We get on set and it’s the first kissing scene and we are both retching,” Turner confessed. “Like, really, it is vile. It was the worst. Another really bad moment in my career.”
