Sophie Turneris the latest star of Twitter’s #BehindTheTweets series — and she doesn’t disappoint.
TheGame of Thronesactress proved she has no problem laughing at herself, especially when confronted with her years-old tweets.
“I knew you guys were going to find the embarrassing ones,” she said. “I have like, a multitude of embarrassing tweets from back in these days. I remember my first paparazzi experience — I tweeted something like, ‘Wow, thank you so much for the warm welcome to L.A.!’ ”
TheX-Men: Dark Phoenixstar also dished on her love forSpongebob Squarepantsafter tweeting about the cartoon last year.
“I have loved Spongebob my entire life,” she said. “I used to pretend I was stick because I wanted to take off school and watch the Spongebob marathon, but my mom started clocking onto the days and the times when I would be ill. Spongebob has always been a big part of my life and I love him dearly. Very, very in love with Spongebob.”
Asked to explain a tweet from 2016 about “Chanandler Bong,” a garbled version ofMatthew Perry‘s character’s name onFriends, Turner revealed she regularly encountered the actor, who was rehearsing for a play at the time, on her street.
“I would walk around the corner every day to go to my local Budgens, which is a great little supermarket … and I would see Matthew Perry outside smoking a cigarette,” she said. “I bought a lighter from Budgens so that I could walk up to him and offer to light his cigarette. It was already lit, so that was just embarrassing.”
“I thought he might see this tweet and I don’t know, reach out to me and ask me on a date or something,” she joked. “But he didn’t.”
“Well, I just love Maisie,” she said. “She’s my sister. She’s my soulmate. She is my lover. She’s just great. I love her so much. Is there anything else I can say about that? She’s just wonderful.”

Last but not least, Turner was asked about a tweet clarifying the spelling ofThrones‘ villain Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey).
“I still don’t know how to spell Cersei,” Turner said with a laugh. “After 10 years on a show, you would think that I would know how to spell the names. But when you have names like Daenerys Tar-shnerssza-yen and Cersei of Lannister and things like that, it’s just tricky. I only know Sansa. She’s the only one that matters.”
