    Sophie Turner has admitted the Game of Thrones theme song has given her "PTSD"

    The 29-year-old actress portrayed Sansa Stark in all eight seasons of the HBO fantasy show - which ran between 2011 and 2019 - but Sophie has now revealed she "can't watch" Game of Thrones anymore and now sees the programme in a "totally different" way.


    During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the host asked Sophie: "Do you feel the giant impact it's made on television and the world?"

    She replied: "I think so? I don't know."

    Jimmy then quizzed the X-Men: Apocalypse star: "Do you ever watch it?"

    The actress said: "No! I mean, maybe like, season one, I watched it with my parents, and then my parents were like, 'Whoa! No! No, no, no, no!'

    "But no, I can't watch it. I mean, hearing the Game of Thrones theme tune gives me PTSD.

    "I see it totally different."

    As well as Game of Thrones, Sophie - who split from her ex-husband Joe Jonas, 36, in 2023 - commented on Amazon's upcoming Tomb Raider show, in which she will portray Lara Croft.

    She teased: "You're going to see it on Amazon Prime in a while because we haven't started shooting yet.

    "I've been training since February last year, so I feel like I could probably beat you up right now."

    When Jimmy asked Sophie if she could show the audience any of the moves she had learned during her training, she joked: "You know I was thinking about it, but I'm wearing a skirt, and I don't want to flash the p*****."

    Although Sophie is not keen to watch back Game of Thrones, the actress has said she is open to reprising her role as Sansa in the future.

    When asked about a possible return to Game of Thrones, Sophie told Thedirect.com: "Show me the money. I don't know, I think it would be hard but also amazing to come back to it.

    "But I feel that I was very happy with the way Sansa ended her story in Game of Thrones, and no one else was really happy with their ending. I feel like I got a good one, and so I don't know if I could revisit it."

    She added: "Maybe it would be an utter joy, or maybe it would be trying to cling on to something that was magic back in the day that can't be recreated. I would have to see a script."
