Andrew Turner became popular in 2011, after the release of the fantasy series “Game of Thrones”. He gained popularity as a father of Sophie Turner, 12-year-old actress, who portrayed Sansa Stark in 59 episodes of the show.
It was Andrew, who encouraged his teen daughter to play Lord Eddard Stark’s eldest child in the series. Sophia’s mother doubted, whether her sweet girl should have accepted the offer of Game of Thrones producers to portray Sansa because the series was full of violent sexual scenes, which were not appropriate for the teenager.
But Andrew was sure, that the show would become a sensation, and his intuition was right. By the way, Sophia receives her father’s support each minute of her life. He was on the 7th cloud when he knew that his daughter secretly wedded a singer Joe Jonas in Las Vegas on May 1, 2019. “He is obsessed with Joe’s music”, the actress explained to journalists.
Andrew Turner was born in England in 1961. He spent the major part of his life in Northampton. The man earned his living as a Pallet Distribution Company worker. He raised three kids with his wife Sally Turner.

Sophie knows, that her mother played the key role in her incredible career success. It was Sally, who took her three-year-old daughter to drama classes. At first, Sally just wanted to get a one-hour coffee break from looking after her daughter, but then she understood, that her little girl was really talented in acting.
By the way, Sally took Sophie not just for drama, but for ballet lessons, too. In her teens, the girl had to decide, what career to choose. She thought it over and made up her mind in favor of drama.
Sally quit her job in order to help her daughter start the career of an actress. She served as a teacher in a nursery school. In addition, the woman put lots of efforts to make their family home cozy. Sophie spent her childhood years in a big Edwardian house. She had lots of pets, including small piglets.
Sally liked the show “Game of Thrones” at first sight, but she was worried because of numerous sexual scenes, which took place in the series. To prepare her daughter to the role of Sansa, she had to talk with her about sex. After that Sally was present at the film set – each child actor had a chaperone by his/her side.
Now the woman still has a close bond with her popular daughter. Her husband and she stood by Sophie’s side when she was getting a marriage license in Las Vegas with the famous musician Joe Jonas. She is in good terms with her son-in-law. Except for the newly-discovered son Joe, she has two other ones, as well.
