Kit Harington Recalls 'Embarrassing' Apple-Box Kiss With Sophie Turner for The Dreadful

The Gothic horror from writer-director Natasha Kermani pairs the former Game of Thrones co-stars as lovers, with a release date still unannounced.

Overview

  • Speaking to E! News, Harington said he stood on an apple box to reach Turner for a kissing scene because she is significantly taller.
  • Harington described the shift to playing romantic partners as feeling odd after years as on-screen siblings, echoing Turner’s August comment that their first kiss felt “vile.”
  • He said reuniting on set quickly rekindled their rapport and that working together again felt like being with family.
  • The Dreadful is set in the 15th century and features Turner as Anne opposite Harington, with Marcia Gay Harden, Laurence O’Fuarain and Jonathan Howard in supporting roles.
  • Coverage of Harington’s remarks accompanies his promotion of Apple TV+ sequel The Family Plan 2, while The Dreadful’s release plans remain undisclosed.
