After eight years and seven beautifully brilliant seasons Game of Thrones is set to come to an end after season eight airs this April.

It's a hard reality to face but the HBO fantasy smash hit is finally ending leaving many of us with a gaping hole in our lives.

And while millions of fans are crushed that they are saying goodbye to one of the most popular shows in history, its also the end of an era for many of its ensemble cast many of whom have gained massive fame from Game of Thrones.

One such actress is Sophie Turner who has played Sansa Stark since day one of the series.

Turner's character has gone through many arcs, overcome difficult odds and has been developed extensively over the course of the career.


Following the show's success Sophie is slowly becoming a bonafide movie star, mainly due to her joining the X-Men franchise dawning the role of a young Gene Grey.

During an interview with Harper's Bazaar Turner discussed her new ventures in the film industry while addressing the issue of equal pay,  a topic that is becoming more relevant in the MeToo era.

Sophie who has long been a champion of the movement and pay equality for women in film revealed that her co-star Kit Harrington who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, earned more money than her but added that she was cool with the wage difference.

"Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline," she said.


Game of Thrones will return to screens for the final season on April 14.


The final season will feature just six episodes however four episodes will run as a long as 80 minutes.
