Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner explains how having a baby improved her acting talents

Parenthood is one of the most pleasing but also painstaking experiences in one’s life. Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark on the show, welcomed baby Willa in July 2020. She is ready to embrace motherhood once again, as she is pregnant with her second child. Motherhood can change your life. And for Sophie Turner, being a mother has not only caused her to feel better, but also boost her acting skills.

In a recent interview on the podcast UnWrapped, she talked about how Willa changed her into a better mother, and also a better actor. She said, “The concept of family has made me an entirely much more emotional person. The empathy is heightened; the feelings about family are just like overflowing. It’s made me a better actor for becoming, you know, becoming a mother.”

She continued, “As an actor, the only way to become a really brilliant actor is to experience as much life as possible and to bring those experiences in, and so this is just another little part of life that I’m experiencing that I get to bring in and hopefully it helps my performance one way or another.”

Sophie recently confirmed her pregnancy with her husband Joe Jonas a few weeks ago, and the couple seems very happy. Send your well wishes to the cute little family in the comments below! Congratulations Sophie and Joe!
