Becoming a mother has made Sophie Turner a stronger actor. According to People, during a recent appearance on the “UnWrapped” podcast, Turner, who’s most well-known for her role as Sansa Stark in “Game of Thrones,” shared that she has a whole new perspective on her work after welcoming daughter Willa in July 2020. “The concept of family has made me an entirely much more emotional person,” Turner explained. She’s able to tap into her feelings and emotions much easier now, because everything is so much closer to the surface.
As a result Turner, who stars in the upcoming HBO series “The Staircase,” also feels like she’s a better performer overall. “The only way to become a really brilliant actor is to experience as much life as possible and to bring those experiences in, and so this is just another little part of life that I’m experiencing that I get to bring in and hopefully it helps my performance one way or another,” she enthused.
Turner and husband Joe Jonas shared exciting family news in April 2022, with several outlets confirming the happy couple are expecting again. The “Game of Thrones” star was spotted sporting a considerable baby bump, as Page Six noted, but they’re mostly keeping to themselves, as is their wont (the couple famously eloped in 2019). We’ll have to wait and see whether having a second child helps Turner tap even further into her acting potential.
