Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams Want to Make a Movie About Their Friendship, and We're Here for It


Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams have a very public best-friendship, which is understandable considering they’ve spent the past eight years playing sisters on Game of Thrones—a.k.a. all of their adult lives. (Turner is 23; Williams is 22.) They’ve shared a Rolling Stone cover, coordinated wedding guest outfits and Halloween costumes, and hashtagged their ‘grams with “Mophie,” their couple’s nickname. But it hasn’t been all sunshine and roses: Turner opened up in April about how her friendship with Williams could turn “destructive,” explaining how, as their friendship grew stronger, the two had a habit of shutting others out and isolating themselves. Ups and downs are normal in any friendship, of course, but Turner and Williams aren’t exactly your average pair of friends—they’ve grown up together in the spotlight. And they’re not just learning from their experiences to build a healthier friendship: Williams and Turner want to make a movie out of them. And honestly? Consider our tickets bought.

In a new Vogue Paris video, Turner has a conversation over dinner with her friend, actress Jessica Chastain, where she talks about what she wants to do in the future: produce and direct.

“As an actor, you can only have so much creative control,” Turner tells Chastain. “I want to be able to have full creative control and create my own vision, and that’s something I’m quite passionate about.”

The Game of Thrones star then explains that she wants to work with Williams in the future on a pretty cool project: a movie about their friendship.

“My best friend Maisie—who’s on Game of Thrones with me, who plays Arya—she and I have a very intense friendship, a friendship that I haven’t had with any of my other girlfriends before,” Turner said. “We felt like we wanted to write a movie about a friendship where it’s kind of like you’re soulmates, but you’re friends, and it’s like this beautiful connection, but it can also be quite destructive.”

Apparently the two haven’t quite started the project yet, but Turner’s getting ready: She tells Chastain she’s already bought a screenplay-writing book to teach herself the skill. We’ll definitely be keeping our ears out for further developments on this front, though.

Maisie Williams Has a Message for Fans Feeling ‘Uncomfortable’ About Arya’s Sex Scene


Last Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones featured a divisive Arya Stark sex scene that everyone still seems to be talking about. You know the one: Arya and her longtime friend slash travel companion Gendry crossed paths for the first time in a while and decided they were ready to take things to the next level. It didn’t take long for the moment to go completely viral.

But while some people were glad to see Arya finally get something resembling a normal teen storyline, others were frustrated by the sexualization of a character who’s proved her autonomy time and time again. If you thought the scene was just awkward overall, Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, has one necessary reminder: This whole process has been way more uncomfortable for her.

On Tuesday she tweeted some pretty hilarious insight: “if u feel uncomfortable just know that my mother and my step dad and my 2 sisters and my 4 brothers have all probably watched this too ahahakillmeehehe,”

OK, you win, Maisie. Having your family watch your character—who grew up before the world’s eyes—lose her virginity onscreen would be pretty uncomfortable.

“At first, I thought it was a prank,” Williams told Entertainment Weekly about the sex scene. “I was like, ‘Yo, good one.’ And [the showrunners were] like, ‘No, we haven’t done that this year.’ Oh f–k!”

In the end, though, she thought it was compelling as a new development for her character: “It was really interesting because it’s a very human relationship for Arya,” she also told EW. “This is something she’s stayed away from, an emotion we’ve never really seen her engage with.”

This isn’t the only Arya plot point fans are buzzing about: Many seem to think Podrick’s haunting song in Sunday’s episode predicted Arya’s death. We know just how unforgiving the show’s creators are, so we’re already preparing ourselves in case our favorite warrior is the next to go.

Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams' Greatest Friendship Moments


In the world of celebrity friendships, there’s one duo who rises above the rest: Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams. The actresses met on the set of Game of Thrones, where they play sisters Sansa and Arya, and they’re basically sisters off-screen too. You hear all the time about co-stars becoming chummy with one another, but what Turner and Williams have is more than that: It’s a real, deep-rooted friendship—the kind of bond Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox forged while working together on Friends.

The Internet can’t get enough of Williams and Turner’s obsession with each other, and I understand. It’s one of the only pure things we have left in this world. I mean, Game of Thrones is about to end. What else do we have to live for besides Turner and Williams tweeting cute things back and forth? This it it. It’s all we get.

So let’s relish in it, shall we? Here are Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner’s greatest friendship moments. We’re sure there will be plenty more to come.

When Turner revealed her and Williams’ self-care routine on the GoT set. “The past few seasons Maisie and I have sleepovers every night when we’re shooting,” Turner said at New York Comic-Con last year. “Or every night whenever both of us are in town. We just used to sit there and eat and watch stupid videos and smoke weed. I don’t know if my publicist will kill me for saying this. We’d get high and then we’d sit in the bath together and we’d rub makeup brushes on our faces. It’s fun.”

The time a photo agency accidentally called Williams “Maisie Turner.” She and Sophie made jokes about marrying each other, of course.

When Turner called Williams her “soulmate” on Instagram. No lies detected.

The fact Williams is going to be a bridesmaid in Turner’s wedding to Joe Jonas. “I already got it,” Williams told the Radio Times in January 2018, referring to the bridesmaid gig. “[The wedding] is very, very exciting. It’s kind of bizarre, though.” I cannot wait to see the Instagrams for that bachelorette party.

On that note: Williams’ super-sweet message to Turner about her engagement. “Congratulations to my beautiful girlfriend on her engagement ? This is just one of MANY life milestones we’ll share. Love you both,” she posted in October 2017.

When Williams put out a request in January 2017 for old photos of herself and Turner. This is literally me laughing at photos from high school with my best friend.

Their “Carpool Karaoke” segment. I still can’t get over them surprising fans at a GoT exhibit.

Their face-swap from 2016. Remember when face-swapping was a thing?

Williams’ tribute to Turner on her 21st birthday. The 2017 tweet featured an incredible throwback photo, of course.

Their matching Game of Thrones tattoos. They had the day they booked GoT inked on their arms.

All the cute names they call each other on Instagram. “Bae,” “soulmate,” “sister”—they’ve used all these words to describe each other. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Their couple nickname. “Mophie.” They’ve hashtagged it several times.

When they wore matching costumes on Halloween 2016. They went as weed-happy girl scouts, a.k.a “hash brownies.” All other couples costumes are canceled.

And they low-key matched for Kit Harington’s wedding. I really hope this was coordinated.

Sophie Turner Says Her Friendship With Maisie Williams Once Had a "Destructive" Side


Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams have become super close playing the Stark sisters on Game of Thrones over the last eight years. So much so that Williams once joked that the whole series was just an elaborate way to bring the two together.

They’re so tight, though, that Turner just revealed on Dr. Phil’s Phil in the Blanks podcast that their friendship had a “quite destructive” side because they didn’t really talk to anyone else on set besides each other.

The comment was part of a larger conversation Turner had with Dr. Phil about how important mental health has become to her. In her late teens, she said she began to experience depression—a result, she thinks, of the fact that she was working on the show and living at home while her friends were off at college. Williams was someone she frequently relied on because they understood each other.

“I have a friend, Maisie, who was on the show with me, she’s just a year younger than me and she and I were growing up together,” Turner told Dr. Phil. “She was my best friend, and she was the only one I really told about all of it.”

However, that the two often shut other people out as their bond grew stronger.

“Maisie and I used to [stay inside] together. I think being friends with each other was quite destructive because we were going through the same thing,” Turner said, adding, “We used to get home from set, go to a Tesco across the road, a little supermarket, and just buy food. We’d go back to our room and eat it in bed. We never socialized for a couple of years. We didn’t socialize with anyone but ourselves.”

Now they seem to have found other ways to spend their time together. In another interview, Turner shared that she and Williams had a very specific way of decompressing from the stress of the hit HBO series. “We just used to sit there and eat and watch stupid videos and smoke weed,” she said during a talk at New York Comic Con. “I don’t know if my publicist will kill me for saying this. We’d get high and then we’d sit in the bath together and we’d rub makeup brushes on our faces. It’s fun.”

All of those experiences seem to have bonded the two actresses for life. Turner has called her connection to Williams “the purest form of true, true friendship,” and it’s not likely that their Stark sisterhood will fade, even after the show comes to its highly anticipated end this year.

As for her own mental health, Turner told Dr. Phil she has prioritized and scheduled time to take time for herself. “I actually am still on my break,” she said. “I took a break off of work to focus on my mental health because I thought it was important.”

Maisie Williams Has a Pretty Hilarious Theory About Game of Thrones and Sophie Turner


Game of Thrones may be coming to an end this year, but the off-screen friendship of Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams will definitely live on. From having matching moments on the red carpet to talking all night long at sleepovers, the Stark sisters have certainly kept their sibling bond going even when the cameras stopped rolling.

In fact, Maisie has a pretty funny theory that the entire eight-season run of the hit HBO series was just a conspiracy for her and Sophie to become BFFs. “It was like one big elaborate thing to find me a best friend. This whole show!” the actor joked with E! News at the premiere for Game of Thrones’s final season.

She’s totally kidding of course, but her friendship with Sophie is definitely the real deal. “It’s been incredible,” Maisie added, telling E! that it’s been so important to have a friend like Sophie during her Game of Thrones journey.

But it hasn’t always been easy; especially when they had to film more ~serious~ scenes together. “You know like when someone’s got little tears because they’re gonna laugh? That’s kind of how I felt the whole time,” Maisie revealed, adding that she was “corpsing” a lot while sharing the screen with Sophie.

While it will definitely be sad to say goodbye to the Stark sisters when Game of Thrones airs its final episode, we have full confidence that the #Mophie legend will keep going. After all, with matching friendship tattoos, an upcoming wedding, and an arsenal of sweet memories between them, we wouldn’t expect anything less.

This New Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams Interview Adds Fuel to a Big ‘Game of Thrones’ Theory


When I wake up in the morning, my first thought is, Who’s going to win the Iron Throne on Game of Thrones? OK, that’s an exaggeration, but I am curious, as are the millions of people who watch Game of Thrones. Last week we published a theory positing that it’s Daenerys Targaryen who ends up on the Iron Throne when it’s all said and done. But it’s a new day, and there’s a new theory suggesting that—wait for it—Sansa Stark nabs the throne by the series finale.

The evidence? A new Rolling Stone interview with Sophie Turner (Sansa) and Maisie Williams (Arya). What Turner says and Rolling Stone writes both suggest things turn out well for Sansa in the GoT finale. Read this excerpt, below:

“The things that girl has gone through are just unbelievable and
awful,” [Turner] says. Sansa’s was a slow journey toward mastery of her
environment; she was always smarter than she might have seemed, with
Turner showing us just how acutely she examined her world through
crystalline blue eyes.

This might not seem like much, but pair it with this excerpt in which we learn Turner was so happy with the GoT ending, she hung up the storyboard of the final scene in her house:

She was particularly moved when [showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss] presented her with a
storyboard of their favorite Sansa scene, which happened to be her
very last scene of the entire show. Tur­ner already has it hanging at
home; no one’s noticed.

So what in that scene was so exciting it propelled Turner to display it proudly? Winning the Iron Throne, perhaps? At this point, it’s the only explanation that comes to my mind.

Of course, this is all hearsay, but compare it with what Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) said last year about how Game of Thrones ends for her character. “It fucked me up,” she told Vanity Fair. “Knowing that is going to be a lasting flavor in someone’s mouth of what Daenerys is.”

It’s clear from this Clarke is not pleased with Daenerys’ trajectory, which means the Iron Throne probably isn’t in her cards. That leaves it wide open for Sansa Stark, and I hope she claims it.

We’ll find out the answer for sure when Game of Thrones returns Sunday, April 14, at 8:00 P.M. on HBO.
