Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner aka Sansa Stark has opened up about the reaction online after she kissed Aidan Gillen in the show.
The British actress who 27 years younger than the Dubliner, has received an onslaught of online comments by viewers wanting the duo to get together on the HBO hit.
“It was so weird! That was really weird, actually. When the kiss happened, my Twitter exploded with ‘Eww! that’s disgusting!’

“And like the next day I got a tonne of tweets going, ‘Ohhhh, they should be together’.
“Aidan has a daughter who’s like a year younger than me. Game of Thrones, they love that stuff,” the young actress admitted to Entertainment Weekly.
Speaking about how her character broke out of her victim-mode by the end of season four seizing control in her life by luring Littlefinger (Aidan), Sophie admitted she’s welcoming the new Sansa.

“It was Sansa playing the game a bit more. I think they liked that because so far, she’s been the weak vulnerable one.
“Then she came out in the outfit she knew was going to—I’m reluctant to say the word ‘seduce,’ but use it to manipulate Littlefinger.
“And they were like, ‘Oh, she is actually playing the game,’ which was fun,” she added.
