The internet has changed many things about modern life, most importantly how we interview celebrities. For example, have you ever seen those WIRED interviews where celebrities answer the most commonly asked questions about themselves on Google? It’s not quite as funny as making celebs read mean Tweets about themselves, but it’s still good watching.
Case in point: Sophie Turner sat down with X-Men: Dark Phoenix co-star Jessica Chastain to dive into all things…themselves. And we learn that Turner had a twin who died in the womb. Really.
The questions start pretty harmlessly (“Is Sophie Turner English?”) before rapidly getting pretty random (“Is Sophie Turner related to Boy George?”).
You know, I never thought about it, but now that you mention it…
Watching @TOTPofficial 2 1981. I'm probably not the first to mention it, but struck by the similarity between Boy George and Sansa Stark pic.twitter.com/ZwRi77V6X1

Clearly she’s not related to Tina Turner, though. We can’t have everything.
Naturally, Google also asks Turner about her Game of Thrones castmates. She jokes that Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) is “staying far away” before confessing her undying love for the Mother of Dragons. And of course Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) comes up. Turner confirms that they are not married nor are they actual sisters, but yes, their friendship is as close as it looks. “She’s your sister from and another mister,” Chastain pipes in. “And mother.”
For those of you who are for Dark Phoenix news, there’s some of that to go around, too. Check out the clip below, where Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) touts the accomplishment of the X-Men, including Jean Grey (Turner), in front of a group of younger mutants:
When the stakes are this high, you must ask if the risks are worth the reward.
