Growing up amidst the spotlight wasn’t easy for Sophie Turner, who was 13 when season 1 ofGame of Thronesheaded into production. Speaking of the downsides of childhood fame, the actress recalled being depressed and developing an eating disorder in the wake of the overwhelming online scrutiny.
Fortunately, Maisie Williams’ presence greatly ameliorated Turner’s experience. Despite not being blood-related like theirGOTcounterparts, the two continue to maintain a strong bond, and the Sansa Stark actress deemed her onscreen sister one of the biggest reasons for not falling into the deep end.
Maisie Williams’ Presence Salvaged Sophie Turner’s Ship
Keeping in mind that the role of Sansa Stark was her foray into the realm of showbiz, it’s easy to see why the whole experience might’ve been a little overwhelming for a youngSophie Turner. It also didn’t help that, throughout her teenage years, her appearance was being picked apart on social media, which further added to her depression. On the bright side, heronscreen sister,Maisie Williams,made surethings didn’t go too off the rail.
Without her, I don’t know where I’d be. In a crack den somewhere.
Given the one-year age difference, Turner and Williams mostly socialized with each other. Moreover, as an ode to their friendship, the duo later imprinted the same tattoo of 07.08.09 on their arms, to celebrate the date when they landed their GOT gigs.The New Lookstar also proceeded to serve as a bridesmaid in Turner’s wedding.

Considering replicating a natural friendship onscreen is always a challenge for actors with no history together, given Turner and Williams’ years-long sisterhood, the latter would be ecstatic to put their bond on the silver screen.
Friendships are written in films all the time, but it’s really hard for people to show a genuine friendship on screen because they are often not friends in real life. I think there is an intimacy and comfort that you find with people that you have known for a really long time, so it would be fun to show off our friendship.
