Throughout the eight nail-biting seasons of HBO’s Game Of Thrones, we’ve seen Sophie Turner transform in her role as Sansa Stark. Gloriously, she went from a submissive young teen seeking love and approval from the dreaded King Joffrey, to a cutthroat leader holding down the ranks in Winterfell.
Her role as the eldest Stark daughter has also paved the way for Turner to play one of the most powerful mutants in Marvel’s X-Men universe: Jean Grey in Dark Phoenix. The movie, which is hitting theaters in June, shows the story of the superhero who loses control of her powers and threatens the safety of the world. With Sansa and Jean on her acting resume, it’s no secret that Turner is perfect for playing strong female leads and that she has certainly fought her fair share of battles on the screen — but like anyone else out there, the actress has been dealing with more behind the scenes.
The series began filming when Turner was just 14 years old, and like any other teen, she faced issues with self-esteem and body image. But unlike others, Turner had the eyes of millions on her, bringing a whole new level of vulnerability to the young actress.
In an interview with Marie Claire Australia, Turner opened up about how being in the public eye took a physical toll on her body.
She has clearly found a good friend in GoT co-star Maisie Williams. (Maisie is actually supposed to be Sophie’s maid of honor!)
She also has the support of her fiancé, Joe Jonas, who recently championed the actress on Instagram when the final season of Game of Thrones debuted in April.

Though Sophie is a star with a seemingly glamorous life, it’s also important to remember that she’s a human being.
We’re especially grateful that she is so frank about this part of her life, since many of us have dealt with similar feelings.
