The final season of "GOT" is already underway and the actress is starring in the upcoming "X-Men" film "Dark Phoenix" which is set to be released this June. 

Here are some things you might not have known about Sophie Turner. 

Her role as Sansa Stark on 'Game of Thrones' was her debut as an actress

Believe it or not, Turner's first major acting role was on "Game of Thrones." She made her debut on the show as Sansa Stark in 2011 and has been nominated for several awards because of her performance.

Turner said she began acting when she was 3 years old

In 2013, Turner told The Telegraph that she began acting when she was 3 years old because her mother took her to drama classes. She also said she's always wanted to be an actress.

She has an Instagram account dedicated to reviewing sausages

In 2018, NME magazine shared that Turner has an Instagram account dedicated to reviewing sausages. The @SophiesSausageReviews account has around 34,800 followers and its bio reads, "Passionate Bout The Saus." 

The actress began reviewing different sausages on the account in April but, unfortunately, she has not posted since 2018.

In 2014, she starred in a Bastille music video

Turner was the star of Bastille's music video for the track "Oblivion." This was the first music video she starred in, the second being The Jonas Brothers' video for "Sucker."

She said her social-media following helped her get the role of Sansa Stark

According to The Telegraph, in a 2017 interview with Porter magazine, Turner said that social media helped her get the role of Sansa. 

"It was between me and another girl who is a far better actress than I am, far better, but I had the followers, so I got the job," she told the publication. 

"A lot of what I have achieved is about timing and luck, but it is also, and I hate to say it, about a big social-media following," she added. 

She has a tattoo with a special meaning related to her brothers 

On her left arm, Turner has a triangular tattoo that she told Rolling Stone is based on "Plato's theory that the soul is comprised of three parts — reason, spirit, and appetite." 

"Reason is my eldest brother, James, spirit is my other brother, Will, and I'm appetite. It means a lot to us," Turner told Refinery29 earlier this year, explaining the additional meaning of the tattoo. 

She said Will has a matching one and James was supposed to get one as well but he opted out.

She's a natural blonde

Although Sansa Stark is known for her iconic red hair, Turner is actually a natural blonde.

"The hair color that is the most me is blonde," Turner told Marie Claire earlier this year. "It's my natural hair color. With red hair, I feel like a classier and more empowered woman. But when I'm blonde I feel normal and tomboy-ish, which is more my personality."

She's narrated two audiobooks

Turner has lent her voice to two audiobooks: "The Girl in the Mirror" by Lev Grossman, which is a short story, and "City of Heavenly Fire" by Cassandra Clare, which is a book in the "Mortal Instruments" series.

She said she has a 'really strong' bladder

In a 2016 interview withInStyle, Turner said she has a "really strong" bladder and only uses the bathroom twice a day. 

"When I was little, I used to hold it in until I wet myself. I think I stretched my bladder so much that now I'm able to hold it for hours," she told the publication. "I don't even think about it during the day and then I eventually realize I should probably go."
