Sophie Turner was just 13 when she joined "Game of Thrones" which is known for its high political intrigue, medieval attire, violent battles and infamous intimate scenes.
Turner, who has played Sansa Stark on the show since 2011, says the HBO's fantasy series helped her get some serious sex education in her early teens, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"The first time I found out about it was reading the 'Game of Thrones' script. I was 13. I said, 'Wow! People do that? That's fascinating. I guess that was my sex education. Being on 'Game of Thrones'," she joked.
In the interview to the Sunday Times, Turner also talked about her initial detestation for social media.
"It's written into contracts that in order to promote projects, you have to have social media. So it would be torturous, because I would have to post images.
"And the social media team at my agency would be like, 'You have to post every day to keep those followers!' It was mad. And I would do it. And then I'd obsess over it after I read the first negative comment.
