10 Actors Who Suffered The Most After Game Of Thrones
5. Sophie Turner
Sophie Turner, who played eventual queen of the North Sansa Stark, was beloved by fans near the end of the series despite a rocky start with the character. With fame came a public identity and people flocked to her social media profiles for the playful, funny character that she was. However, behind the humor was a very dark presence that tormented her throughout the final season of the show.
It turns out that Turner suffers from Major Depressive Disorder, and she has admitted
that as her tenure on Game Of Thrones continued, the depression just got worse
and worse until it became debilitating. Because of her presence in the
public eye, Turner received a lot of comments as the series went on about her looks, skin, character and acting
ability. These criticisms began to really
affect Turner, it tore her own image of herself apart by the time the show ended
Thankfully Turner had a lot of mental help resources available to her, and she started to open up a lot more with her fans on the internet leading to a swift recovery. Today, Turner has managed to find a place for herself in Superhero films by becoming the face of Jean Gray in X-Men: Apocalypse and standalone feature Dark Phoenix.
