Sophie Turner is an English known most notably for her role in the hit HBO series Game Of Thrones. But while filming, Sophie Turner tells Marie Claire Magazine that stress and pressure for her to look a certain way on the screen started to wear her down.

Her mental health started to be affected which affected her confidence off-screen. While filming, her weight started to fluctuate which lead executives and producers to push her into losing weight.

So how did she deal?
