Sophie Turner is at the moment selling The Staircase, a collection primarily based on a true-crime story… which was already a preferred documentary collection. Sophie performs one of many daughters of Michael and Kathleen Peterson. Sophie seems on the duvet of Elle UK to speak about her life in America, how determined she is to get again to England, the legacy of Sport of Thrones and much more. She’s additionally pregnant along with her second youngster, with husband Joe Jonas, and she or he fortunately confirms the news in the interview. Some highlights:

She feels uncool on the age of 26: ‘I was so rock ’n’ roll and spontaneous. I’m positive there’s part of me that’s nonetheless like that, deep down. However turning into a mum, you simply turn into means much less cool. I’m like an previous lady.’

On Sport of Thrones: ‘The producers, runners and actors raised me, alongside my dad and mom, however they raised me extra in a enterprise sense and to be an impartial working lady.

She’ll all the time be part of me.’

Marrying Joe as GoT ended: ‘I’m fairly glad I had that subsequent factor to maneuver on to. If I hadn’t discovered Joe, I believe I’d have felt fairly misplaced after Sport of Thrones. And I did really feel fairly misplaced after it completed. However it pressured me into this new chapter, which was actually thrilling and one thing for me to give attention to. It was the proper factor to maneuver on to.’

She needs to do extra movies: ‘I’ve finished the massive franchises. So now, as a result of I don’t have on a regular basis on this planet, if I wish to decide to one thing on TV, it must be particular. I wish to transfer ahead with the weirder issues.”

She lived in Atlanta for 9 months whereas she labored on ‘The Staircase’: ‘It’s tough, as a result of I’m somebody who doesn’t like change. I like consistency and, with the job I’ve, it’s not attainable. So, I transfer all the pieces – my daughter, my total home! There isn’t any extra staying in lodge rooms. We get a home and decide to it. I couldn’t not go residence to my daughter on the finish of the day. Joe’s job is bouncing round from metropolis to metropolis each night time. I’ve an extended period of time in a single place, so it is sensible for me to have her with me.’

They reside in Miami: ‘We’re very fortunate to reside in Miami. We’ve good climate and reside by the water. We attempt to hold it as chill as potential and simply cherish these occasions, as a result of we don’t get them fairly often. We journey round a lot…. I purchase stuff from the British Market. Within the States, the chocolate ain’t good, the crisps ain’t good. It’s not the identical. I would like my Bisto gravy – all the nice sh*t!’

Protecting of her household: ‘I’m very protecting of the life we’ve constructed. Each time Joe and I do a pink carpet collectively, we ensure that it’s for the proper cause and is sensible for our careers. You by no means wish to market your self as a star couple. It’s not that cool. And my daughter by no means requested for any of this. I do know what it may possibly do to your psychological well being to be on this trade, and to be photographed day-after-day and have the feedback. It’s not one thing I need her to cope with until she says, “That is what I wish to do.” We’re fairly strict about that. We’ll encourage her to do no matter she needs however I don’t assume we’d professionally let her do something till she’s 18. I additionally really feel fairly strongly about my daughter not turning into a nepotism youngster.’

On social media & disordered consuming: ‘I’ve a love-hate relationship with social media. I want I’d by no means received myself concerned with it within the first place. I have a look at the feedback on Instagram and assume, Oh, f*ck. Everybody thinks this about me. It might utterly eat me. The very best recommendation I ever received…For a very long time, I used to be fairly sick with an consuming dysfunction and I had a companion. I don’t know if you realize what a companion is? It’s a live-in therapist, who would guarantee I wasn’t doing something unhealthy with my consuming habits.

She needs to maneuver again to the UK: ‘I miss England a lot. The folks, the perspective, all the pieces. I’m slowly dragging my husband again. I actually love dwelling in America however, for my psychological well being, I’ve to be round my mates and my household. And in addition for my daughter – I’d love her to get the training and college life that I used to be so fortunate to have. England would ideally be the ultimate vacation spot, however [Joe] would possibly take fairly a little bit of convincing! My mother or father’s home is the epitome of the English countryside – horses, sheep, cows…’

There’s much more within the interview, about how she believes in remedy and the way she broke her disordered consuming habits by altering her worldview (with the assistance of her companion). The most important headlines, for me, are about her want to maneuver again to England, and her normal want to not elevate her youngsters in America. She appears very apprehensive about elevating youngsters within the trade, regardless that she and Joe don’t even reside in LA. I imply, I do know a whole lot of celebrities reside in Miami, however certainly the vibe is far totally different there versus LA? I might see Joe transferring to England along with her although, even when it’s only for a number of years. I guess she is going to miss components of America then.
