Sophie Turner let slip on Late Night with Seth Meyers that a casual wave at a San Diego Comic-Con after-party nearly a decade ago inadvertently sparked a headline-making split. Invited by a childhood friend to greet a handsome actor she didn’t know, Turner simply lifted her hand from across the room unaware it would trigger a jealous confrontation.
Moments later, the actor’s fiancée, a fellow A-lister, marched over and demanded, “Can you stop flirting with my fiancé?” Stunned, Turner asked for names and discovered the woman was accusing her of nothing more than a friendly gesture. By the end of the night, the engaged couple had called off their wedding plans.
Turner, now 29, laughed off the chaos, admitting, “I didn’t realize I held this power.” She quipped that revealing identities would land her in trouble, but fans on social media immediately pointed fingers at a high-profile duo whose on-again, off-again romance famously unraveled around the same time.
The actress’s anecdote comes amid her blossoming relationship with boyfriend Peregrine Pearson, whom she’s kept delightfully out of the spotlight. Turner even noted the irony of casually breaking up a couple before later sharing the screen with one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors in her blockbuster franchise roles.
As the talk show audience roared, Turner’s takeaway was clear: never underestimate the fallout of a friendly wave. And if her story proves anything, it’s that even the smallest gestures can send shockwaves through Tinseltown.
