Game of Thrones concluded with the end of season eight last month, with Sophie Turner’s character, Sansa Stark, ending up ruling the North while her brother Bran Stark ( played by Isaac Hempstead-Wright) sat on the Iron Throne. Having waved goodbye to the role which catapulted her to worldwide fame, Sophie, 23, looks to have her eye on her next big move. The intriguing potential opportunity presented itself after Boy George, 58, spoke out on who he would like to see play him in an upcoming biopic. “There’s been some really interesting suggestions,” he told Australian radio show Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa today.
“One of the most interesting suggestions was Sophie Turner.
“It’s really strange but that’s been a suggestion — I think — that will upset people, which I really like,” the Culture Club legend continued.
“’Oh, she can’t play you, she’s a woman.’
“But you know, when I was 17 I would have loved to have been her… that was the ambition,” he added.
After Boy George’s remarks hit the headlines, Sophie took to Twitter to share her response.
“I am SO down,” she wrote, in view of her 2.5 million followers.
