Turner admitted that she learned everything she knows from her time on the set, including some NSFW information.

“I definitely got my sex education from that show,” she joked on Tuesday’s episode of the “Dish” podcast. “More than enough.”

Turner acknowledged that some of the storylines and nude scenes were “really crazy s–t.” 

“It was the best acting class I’ve ever had,” she added about spending eight years on the HBO series. “I never had proper formal training, so I got to learn from the amazing actors around me. I felt like I won a competition. It was great, we all were a family.”

Turner grew up on the show and garnered a deeper connection to Sansa.

“The character, I got to live with,” the “Joan” star reflected. “It felt like we kind of merged into one person by the end of it. It was amazing.”

“Game of Thrones” was also a masterclass in the business of Hollywood.

“It informed my entire life in terms of business decisions,” shared Turner, “just etiquette on set, how to act. Everything I learned from ‘Game of Thrones’ – and a bit from my parents.”

Turns out after eight seasons, the “X-Men” vet tried to avoid watching herself in the series.

“It’s horrible watching yourself,” Turner expressed. “I mean, I’ve been forced to endure like premieres and whatnot, but I mean, it’s just awful. I leave going into like a two-month bout of depression after I watch myself, so I just don’t do it.”

Along with Turner, the medieval fantasy starred Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage.

After the drama ended, the prequel “House of the Dragon” began in 2022. The show is in its third season.

In September, Turner weighed in on whether Sansa would ever make a comeback.

“It would have to be the exact same cast and the exact same crew,” she told Variety. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t go back, and that would just be season nine. I don’t think we’re going to do a season nine.”

“I do wonder often what would she be doing now,” confessed Turner. “Where would she be five years later, what would she be doing?”

She tied the knot with Joe Jonas, 35, in 2019, and he filed for divorce in September 2023.

Turner and Jonas underwent a messy custody battle over their daughters, Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2. The actress sued the Jonas Brothers frontman, accusing him of keeping their kids’ passports hostage when she expressed her desire to bring them back to their “forever home” in London.

The exes reached a temporary custody agreement in October 2023.

“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the U.K.,” the pair said in a statement to Us Weekly at the time.

“We look forward to being great co-parents,” Turner and Jonas concluded.

The pair has remained friendly since finalizing their divorce in September 2024. Turner congratulated Jonas on the release of his EP, “Music for People Who Believe in Love,” in May.

Soon after, the artist returned the love.

“I have a beautiful coparenting relationship that I’m really grateful for,” Jonas said on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” Live Tour that same month. “Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true. As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them.”

Turner was linked to British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson in October 2023 after her split from Jonas. They went Instagram official in January 2024.

She sparked breakup rumors in April after nearly two years of dating when she seemingly unfollowed the 30-year-old on the social media.

Despite their social media status, the two got cozy in June while on a date in Glastonbury, with an insider telling the US Sun, “Sophie and Peregrine were very affectionate with each other.”
