‘Game of Thrones’ Actress Says She Accidentally Broke Up A-List Couple
After a well-meaning gesture from the HBO actress, two Hollywood stars broke off their engagement.
Sophie Turner, 29, who rose to international fame with her role as Sansa Stark in the hugely popular HBO series Game of Thrones, told Seth Meyers on Thursday that she unwittingly caused two Hollywood stars to break off their engagement. It was at a GoT Comic-Con after-party around 10 years ago, the same party where Meyers and Turner first met, which “went really south really quick,” Turner said on Late Night With Seth Meyers. “I brought my best friend from my school days with me, and she saw this actor that she loved,” Turner said, refusing to name the parties involved for fear that she would get in “a lot of trouble.” After her friend’s imploring, Turner waved to the actor, though she hadn’t heard of or met him. Little did Turner know that the actor she had waved to had a jealous fiancée, another Hollywood star, whom Turner was a big fan of and would greet later that night. The actress reportedly told Turner, “Can you stop f---ing flirting with my fiancé?” And, according to Turner, “they broke their engagement that night.” “I didn’t realize I held this power,” Turner joked.
