Sophie Turner is looking back on the many hair colors she’s had over the years.
The 30-year-old actress, famed for playing Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, first dyed her natural blonde hair red back in 2009 when she was cast in the show at just 13 years old.
Since then, she’s experimented with many different hair colours for various roles and public appearances, including platinum blonde and dark brunette.
In a recent interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Turner shared that she doesn’t feel strongly attached to any particular hair colour anymore.
“I’ve been dyeing my hair since I was 13, when I had to go red for Game of Thrones, so I don’t really identify with any hair colour these days, although it’s interesting to see how the world reacts,” she told the magazine.
She also revealed that blonde hair tends to get the most positive reaction from the public. “Blonde gets the most positive reaction,” she shared. “Red gets less of a reaction, but when there is a reaction it’s pretty over the top. And with brunette you’re a bit camouflaged, which I’m really enjoying. I get recognised less, which is great.”
Turner is currently dyeing her hair brunette again for her upcoming role as Lara Croft in a new Tomb Raider series.
She played Sansa Stark for nearly a decade, starting when she was 14 years old during the show’s first season in 2010, and continued in the role until the series ended in 2019.
