Entity magazine shares some details about young Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, including upcoming projects.

Sophie Turner, at the age of 21, has managed to become an integral part of two major franchises.

She’s accumulated a net worth of three million dollars, which is not bad having only been acting since 2011. Big things are on the horizon for this actress, and the world is waiting to see what she does next.

Since Sophie’s probably going to be around for while, ENTITY’s going to help you get to know her better through these five facts.

1 Game of Thrones Was Sophie Turner’s First Job.

Woah, those audition tapes are a throwback. Sansa Stark was Sophie’s first job in the entertainment biz. Her parents aren’t in the industry at all; her father works in pallets and her mother’s a nursery school teacher.

Sophie landed the “GoT” gig after the show began auditioning students at local schools. A drama teacher encouraged her to audition during a lunch break. “Game of Thrones” at the time was a book series that was on several best sellers lists. Now “GoT” is a juggernaut that would be worse for the wear without Sansa Stark or Sophie Turner.

2 She Has a Brother Named Will Turner.

No, not that Will Turner! She also has a brother named James. Another interesting tidbit is that Sophie was a twin. However, her twin died in utero. They all grew up on a farm in Chesterton, Warwickshire in England.

In 2015, she told The Telegraph, “My childhood was pretty fun. We had pigsties, barns and a paddock, and used to muck around in the mud.” And once her parents turned off the WiFi when she was home, cutting her off from mankind.

3 She’s A Blonde Now.

“Game of Thrones” fans flipped their proverbial wigs when Sophie Turner appeared with blonde locks instead of her Sansa Stark red. Everyone began hypothesizing that Sansa was going to die when the show returns in July. Things weren’t helped during a South by Southwest panel with the “GoT” cast and showrunners.

When a fan asked about the new look, Maisie Williams (Arya on Thrones) jokingly said she was dead. This did not go over as a joke with the crowd. Because “GoT” fans haven’t trusted anything since Walder Frey said, “I owe my king a wedding gift.” Turner has since been spotted wearing a wig on the “Thrones” set and rocking her blondes locks on Instagram. (She has five million followers.)

4 She’ll Be In “Berlin, I Love You.”

The “Cities of Love” series is a set of films that tell semi-connected vignettes in cities around the world. “Paris, Je t’aime,” the first film in the series, is one that I’m fond of. Little is known about the plot, only that there are ten different stories.

But what we do know is that Sophie will be starring alongside the real Will Turner, Orlando Bloom, as well as Renee Zellweger, Diego Luna and Patrick Dempsey.

5 She’s Getting Her Own “X-Men” Movie.

This is huge. Sophie Turner is set to resume her role of Jean Grey in the film “X-Men: Dark Phoenix.” Jean Grey’s powers have always been among the strongest that Professor X (leader of the X Men) has ever encountered. In 1980, a comic book storyline unfolded in which an alien force attached itself to Jean following a mission in space.

That force, called the Phoenix, had immense power. It was too much for even Jean  to control and ***Spoiler*** she ultimately destroys herself to prevent the Phoenix from causing any more harm. We may see some other fan favorite mutants in the film as well.

So much happening. So little time!
