The star's rise to fame on "Game of Thrones"
Turner began working on "Game of Thrones" when she just 13. The star told Marie Claire that she forgot she had an audition and if her drama teacher hadn't spotted her in the cafeteria and reminded her, she probably wouldn't have ended up on the show.
She added that there was a phase during her career when she around 15, where she took everything about her work very seriously. Now, she said, she has learned to enjoy it as well as work hard. "Game of Thrones" has been a part of the actress' life for 7 years and she revealed that when the show comes to an end, it will feel like a death in the family.
On the show, Turner's character has been involved in some horrific events. The star said that when she had to film the rape scene, writer Brian Cogman cried and apologized to Turner because he felt so guilty about it. An eighth season has been confirmed by HBO, with season 7 having premiered on July 16, 2017. Turner isn't sure what her future entails once she is finished with "Game of Thrones". The star hasn't done too badly for herself, landing the role of scientist Jean Grey in the 2016 film "X-Men: Apocalypse". Turner is continuing her role as Grey in "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" which is due to be released in 2018.
