Sophie Turner has revealed she has no problem with her Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington being paid more than her on the show.
Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, said she felt Harington deserved the larger paycheck for his gruelling shoots and bigger role.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline. And for the last series, he had something crazy like 70 night shoots, and I didn’t have that many.
“I was like, ‘You know what…you keep that money.’”
Turner’s comments come after her co-star Masie Williams, who plays her sister Arya Stark, revealed it felt “powerful” to see their characters team up.
The actress admitted it was fun for the pair to “call out” Harington’s lead role as Jon Snow for “thinking with his penis”.
She told Entertainment Weekly: “It’s not often you see a character siding with Sansa who’s not manipulating her.
“This season you see Arya teaming with Sansa and sometimes calling out Jon. It felt nice and powerful to stand next to Sophie.”
Williams added that the end to the show was “not okay” ahead of this month’s finale, eight years after it first aired.
She said: “No matter how you end it, people don’t want it to end. So the ending is not going to be okay, because ‘the end’ is not okay. I think the way we end it is right. And I think it’s time.”
Harington previously weighed in on the show’s ending, admitting he is “not happy, but very satisfied” with it.
Speaking on the Zoe Ball show earlier this year, he admitted: “[I’m] maybe not happy, but very satisfied.
“I’m so excited for people to see it, I think it’s going to be extraordinary, hopefully it’ll change TV again like it did originally, and break boundaries, I think it might.”
Game Of Thrones will return for a final series on April 15, simulcasting with the US at 2am. Episodes will be repeated at 9pm on Sky Atlantic.
