Sophie Turner addresses Kit Harington and earns more money than herself for "Game of Thrones"

Sophie Turner and Kit Harington have been co-stars for some time now: The eighth and last Game of Thrones season began on April 14 and we have many questions about what will happen in the hit series, there is a 0% chance that we will get satisfying answers until each episode takes place. (However, you can bet that this did not stop fans from coming up with a lot of theories about what's going to happen.) There's one thing can clear up though, and that's not the case. is the reason why Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, and Harington, Jon Snow, are not paid the same for the work they do in the series.

In an area where pay gaps between men and women make headlines – remember when Michelle Williams would have been paid less than US $ 1,000 while Mark Wahlberg would have received $ 1.5 million US for a film cover? Discrepancies like this one are starting to be examined further. Turner was recently requested by
Harper's Bazaar UK about his views on the difference between his salary and that of Harington for the show. Asking for equal pay on the set, she told the magazine, is "a bit tricky, Kit had more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline." And for the last series, he was something crazy like 70 night sessions, and I "I had a lot of them, I thought to myself:" You know what … you keep that money ""

Like The Hollywood Reporter wrote in 2014 about negotiations for the seventh season of the series, the casting Cable TV, among the highest paid cable TV, is divided into levels to determine compensation. the main roles, played by actors such as Harington, Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), B includes Turner and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), and there is another level beyond which is filled with actors with smaller roles.

But Turner has Always been able to exert her influence to advance equality behind the scenes: As she has said Harper's Bazaar UK she has a rider to 39; inclusion. in his contract, which states that the male / female ratio of the workforce of a project is equal to 50-50. And when there is so much work to do in the industry, every step counts.
