In a world where dragons roasted kings and zombies terrorized the living, there was one unbreakable bond in Game of Thrones, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner’s legendary sisterhood. They weren’t just Arya and Sansa Stark, destined to rule the North (or a minimum of, survive it); they were best friends from the beginning. Their off-screen bond? Too cute for words. Matching tattoos, constant inside jokes, and mutual “I’m-not-leaving-your-side” energy. But here’s the kicker, on the set of the enduring show, their antics were reportedly a nightmare for the crew. Seems, these two were such a chaotic duo that the producers needed to separate them on set for six whole years. Discuss “sisterly mischief”!
Maisie and Sophie’s Wild Friendship
Before they became the enduring Stark sisters on Game of Thrones, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner were inseparable in real life, too. Their friendship kicked off immediately in 2009, after their first chemistry read, and it was clear that they were greater than just co-stars. As Sophie puts it in an interview with Rolling Stones, “We were just about best friends from that second on.” And Maisie? She was equally smitten: “I assumed Sophie was the good thing I’d ever seen.” From giggles that never ended to inside jokes that made everyone else on set roll their eyes, these two were a walking comedy show.
Their hilarious on-set antics weren’t just fun for them, they drove the producers crazy. In response to showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the ladies took their friendship to the subsequent level by inventing a Northern English accent, which occasionally snuck into scenes. “We’d need to remind them Sansa and Arya don’t talk like that,” the duo admitted. So, to avoid wasting the show from becoming an unintentional comedy, they kept the Stark sisters apart for six long years. Yep, no Arya and Sansa on-screen moments until Season 7. Discuss a ‘no work, all play’ situation.
Comedy Dreams of The Stark Sisters
After eight seasons of dragons, sword fights, and political drama, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner were ready to depart Westeros behind and begin something a bit of lighter. They weren’t about to hold up their acting hats, they were just going for laughs as an alternative of battles. “We’ve at all times said we desired to work together again,” Sophie said in an interview with Digital Spy and so they weren’t kidding. Maisie added, “I believe it might be hard to do something else with Sophie that wasn’t a comedy… something like Bridesmaids.” Their vision? A project stuffed with British chaos, laugh-out-loud moments, and the sort of female friendship Hollywood rarely gets right.
The very best part? They didn’t need scripts. Their bond was so authentic that Maisie joked, “It could find yourself just being a documentary about us and the silly things we’ve done!” Truthfully, who wouldn’t want to look at two best friends wreak havoc on-screen? Arya and Sansa roasting one another over brunch? That seems like the movie we never knew we wanted. Whether it’s planned comedy or impromptu laughs, fans of Game of Thrones would happily trade within the icy winds of Winterfell for the nice and cozy chaos of a comedy starring these two.
