Sophie Turner says Jennifer Lawrence once punched me in the vagina
To promote X-Men: Apocalypse, Sophie Turner has been doing more promotional work than she’s ever done. It probably helps that the release of the film coincides with Season 6 of Game of Thrones, because she’s talking about both projects a lot in interviews. Sophie plays the young (teenage) Jean Grey in Apocalypse, and it’s Sophie’s first time in the X-Men universe. By all accounts, she got along really well with everyone. So well, in fact, that America’s Farty Sweetheart decided to lightheartedly c—t punch Sophie and Sophie took it in stride. From Sophie’s Just Jared Spotlight interview:
JJ: Did you have fun on set with Jennifer Lawrence? It sounds like you two became close.
ST: Jen and I had a few scenes together. She is definitely a big inspiration to work with and she is just how you’d want Jennifer Lawrence to be. She’s exactly the same person that you see in interviews. And she was just amazing. She was really fun, really cool. Hilarious!
JJ: She seems like she’d be really fun.
ST: Yeah! She punched me in the vagina once. I didn’t ask her to either. It just happened. Evan [Peters] and I were having a fake fight and I said something like, “I’ll c-nt punch you” or “I’ll punch you in the crotch” and then Jen thought that I said, “Please c-nt punch me Jen.” So she punched me in the vagina and I was like, “Awesome.” It was pretty funny.
JJ: Was that during an actual scene or in between takes?
ST: That was in between takes. She definitely wouldn’t have done that when we were rolling!
I just… I mean, I’m laughing. Sophie makes it sound funny – “then Jen thought that I said, ‘Please c-nt punch me Jen.’” J-Law’s costars almost always love and adore her, but I imagine she loves to wrestle, rough-house and generally be a nightmare for insurance companies. The X-Men films are probably like camp – everyone gets along, everyone acts silly. But to run up to a young actress and punch her in the vagina? Classic J-Law. J-Law always takes it one step too far. The only way this could be more Classic J-Law is if Jen punched Sophie in the crotch, then Jen fell down. And was covered in Dorito dust the whole time.
