Young Hollywood

Did they? Oh, I guess too. I mean, if they're that much of a diehard, that they would go through the effort. They could dress up as anybody, they chose you. Then that's that's a good thing.

Sophie Turner

Yeah. It was a lot of fun. That's what we do most of the time, we just sing.

I should have. They were in Australia though. I wasn't going to make them come from Australia to Pennsylvania.

Young Hollywood

Right. Oh, is that where you shot it? Okay.

Sophie Turner

In Pennsylvania. It was strange. But um like I I did the take and then I walked off set. And then like people were like clapping and then like Dan was on the phone, the lead singer and he was like, "Hey" and I was like, this is amazing, this is the best day of my life. Um and now I think I have a crush on him as well. Putting it out there. Just putting it out there. Dan, I'm single. Oh my God, I can't believe I just said that. This is so embarrassing.

Young Hollywood

A mean girl assassin. Mm. How delicious was that?

Sophie Turner

It was delicious. It tasted so good.

Young Hollywood

Did it?

Sophie Turner

Yeah. Um it was like it was so much fun shooting that whole movie because we had we had this great cast of like seven or six or seven like really young people. Um And we're like 17 to 22. Yeah. And we all got on like so well. It was kind of scary. Um and then we had like Sam L. Jackson and Jessica Alba and stuff, which was kind of awesome.

Young Hollywood

If you were to be able to assassinate your you know on Game of Thrones your character could assassinate anybody. Yes. Who would she assassinate?

Sophie Turner

Uh, I would assassinate Daenerys because she has like the most going for her right now. She has dragons. And then I figure like if I get rid of her then there's nothing really stopping me. Um because I'm awesome. So that's a joke. Um. But yeah, she's like the biggest threat right now. And she's also really hot. So.

Young Hollywood

Right. You got to get rid of the hot ones.

Sophie Turner

Get rid of the hot ones. That's what girls do. They eliminate the other hot girls in the room.
