It could happen to anyone. Joe Jonas almost got himself in some very big trouble on the set of Game of Thrones when he tried to kiss a woman who wasnโ€™t his wife.

Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, told Novaโ€™s Smallzyโ€™s Surgery all about the case of mistaken identity.

โ€œOn Game of Thrones I had a photo double that people would do double takes at because she looked so much like me it was insane,โ€ Turner said.

โ€œEven Joe (Jonas) went up to her at one point and tried to give her a kiss and he was like, โ€˜Oh, sorry, sorry itโ€™s not Sophie, wrong one!'โ€

Just to clarify, a stunt double, as you probably know, does stunts for the actor so they donโ€™t endanger themselves.

A photo double, on the other hand, is supposed to look freakishly like the actor so they can legit be in scenes for them when the character is, for example, in the background of a shot.

Turner said they didnโ€™t run into the same issue with her X-Men: Dark Phoenix stunt double.

โ€œThey donโ€™t really look like me. First of all, they are much fitter, have much more muscle and just better looking aesthetically in general,โ€ she said with a laugh.
