  • Kit Harington gushed over his Game of Thrones costar Sophie Turner while attending ACE Comic Con over the weekend.

  • "I love that girl to my very bones," he said of the actress, who appeared on GoT with him for eight seasons.

  • Harington added that he has a "very sibling relationship" with Turner and other costars including Maisie Williams, Isaac Hempstead Wright, and Richard Madden.


Let Kit Harington's loving words about his costars fill the House Stark-sized hole in your heart. The Game of Thrones star, who is now moving into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a role in The Eternals, appeared at ACE Comic Con in Chicago last weekend, where he looked back fondly on his time and relationships on GoT, including those he shared with his on-screen siblings.

When a moderator brought up the fact that Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) used to tease Harington about how much time he spent getting his hair and makeup done before filming, the actor joked, "Sophie Turner needs to just shush every now and then."

However, according to Metro, Harington followed up on a more serious note, opening up about his close friendship with the actress. "I love that girl to my very bones," he said. "The thing about Sophie, Maisie [Williams], Isaac [Hempstead Wright] and me is that we were together for so long."

"Richard [Madden] was definitely in that too," he continued, name-dropping one of his future Eternals costars and GoT on-screen brother. "We became like actual siblings, we would literally fight each other. We have a very sibling relationship."
