Sophie Turner is opening up about the unexpected role she played in the demise of a celebrity couple’s relationship.
Though Turner remembers that first encounter with Meyers fondly, she said the evening “went really south really quick” when she attempted to say hello to an unidentified actor at the request of her friend, who was a fan.
Turner hadn’t met the actor before, so she simply waved at him from afar. But it wasn’t long before she came to regret that seemingly friendly gesture. Moments later, she noticed “this girl looking at me, and she’s a famous actress,” at which point she decided to make an introduction.

Unfortunately, Turner says the female actor, who she did not identify by name, replied with a stern warning to “stop fucking flirting with my fiancé.” And though Turner insisted she had “no idea who this man is,” her wave put an end to the romance.
“Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night,” she recalled. “I didn’t realize I held this power.”
Elsewhere in the chat, Turner said she couldn’t share the couple’s names with Meyers and his audience, or she’d “get in a lot of trouble.”
Turner, whose credits also include “X-Men: Apocalypse” and “Dark Phoenix,” returns to the big screen next week in a new thriller, “Trust.” She stars as Lauren Lane, a Hollywood actor who retreats to a remote cabin after a public scandal, only to find herself fighting for her life under terrifying circumstances.
She’s also set to reunite with her “Game of Thrones” co-star Kit Harrington in the forthcoming horror film “The Dreadful.” In her chat with Meyers, the actor said she and Harrington felt awkward filming some of the movie’s love scenes at first, given that their “Game of Thrones” characters were siblings.

“We get on set and it’s the first kissing scene, and we are both retching,” she quipped. “Really, it is vile… another really bad moment in my career.”
