Kit Harington ‘got more money’ than Game of Thrones co-star
Sophie Turner has said her Game Of Thrones co-star Kit Harington was paid more than her for the epic TV series – but he did more work.
Harington plays Jon Snow while Turner is Sansa Stark in the big budget TV drama which is set to return for its final season later this year.
Asked about equal pay, the actress, 23, told Harper’s Bazaar UK: “Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline.
“And for the last series, he had something crazy like 70 night shoots and I didn’t have that many.
“I was like, ‘You know what… you keep that money.’”
The British actress, who stars on the May cover of the magazine, also said she does not boast ‘traditional’ Hollywood looks.
“Everyone can see what I’m really like in Game Of Thrones. I have a big nose and tiny little eyes and a double chin and that’s OK. I’m learning to love my bumpy nose,” she said.
“People don’t seem to like me blonde,” the former redhead added of her new hair colour.
Turner also revealed she is planning a small wedding to fiance and singer Joe Jonas, saying: “We’re trying to keep it as low-key as possible so it’s more of an intimate thing.”
“We had a lot of mutual friends and they’d been trying to introduce us for a long time.”
Turner described filming the final Game Of Thrones series, to be shown in the UK from 15 April, as “like a death in the family”, adding: “I’m losing the character I’ve played so long.”
