Sophie Turner discovers chronic health issue after…
The Queen in the North didn’t have a regal time.
Sophie Turner opened up about her grueling time taking pictures “Tomb Raider” during a current look on SiriusXM’s “The Julia Cunningham Show.”
“We’ve been doing eight hours a day, five days a week since February last year, of training. Yeah, so it’s been a lot,” the “Game of Thrones” actress, 29, said.
She added, “I’ve learned I have a perpetual back problem, but I also realised that it’s much easier to kind of build muscle if you’ve ever worked out before in your life, which I never had, so it has taken me months and months and months to get into good shape.”

“Sophie Turner as Lara Croft is genuinely so striking,” another quipped. “I’ve got full faith this adaptation at Prime Video is going to be REALLY up my alley. I just can’t get over how phenomenal she looks.”
