Actress Sophie Turner says her Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington was paid more than her, and she was okay with that.
The 23-year-old actress is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar U.K.’s May issue in which she has revealed why she was okay with her on-screen brother, Harington, having a bigger paycheck for the eighth and final season of the popular series, reports etonline.com.
“(It’s) a little tricky,” she told the magazine of demanding equal pay.

“Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline. And for the last (season), he had something crazy like 70 night shoots, and I didn’t have that many. I was like, ‘You know what… you keep that money’.”
Despite her own acceptance about making less than Harington, Turner has made it a point to fight for equality on sets, adding an inclusion rider in her contracts — demanding 50 per cent of the crew be women — and expressing joy that issues such as these are being discussed.
