Known for her poised, steely role as Sansa Stark in the HBO hit series Game of Thrones, actress Sophie Turner revealed a hilarious and deeply human moment of utter star-struck panic that involved hiding in a closet. The incident occurred when she unexpectedly came face-to-face with her teenage crush, Justin Bieber, who happened to be shirtless at the time, leading to a temporary emotional breakdown that viewers might have mistaken for a “mental problem.” During a 2018 appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Sophie Turner revealed that throughout her teenage years, she was a massive fan—a “Belieber”—of Justin Bieber, a crush so intense that her mother once gifted her a life-sized cardboard cutout featuring a photoshopped image of the two of them together, a gift which, Turner admitted, made her fall over and cry. Years later, while she was already famous from her role in Game of Thrones, Turner and her then-fiancé (now ex-husband), Joe Jonas, were at a friend’s house in Miami, and they were told that Justin Bieber was upstairs. Turner walked up, and the reality of the situation exceeded her wildest teenage dreams: “He’s sat there, shirtless, in this dark room, getting a head massage,” Turner recounted, noting the surreal nature of the encounter. She managed to play it cool long enough to stammer out a polite introduction: “‘Hi, nice to meet you, [I’m] Sophie,'” before her nerves completely took over. Overwhelmed by the sight of her teenage idol in such a casual, yet intimate, state, the actress did the unthinkable. She broke off the conversation, ran immediately into a nearby closet, and proceeded to “cry for like, five minutes” in sheer emotional overload. When she finally emerged with Joe Jonas, Justin Bieber greeted him, saying, “Yo, Joe, I heard you got a new girl?” The subsequent introduction provided another moment of cringe-worthy awkwardness: Turner, still flustered, made a bizarre, nervous gesture involving her tongue and fingers, a moment Joe Jonas has reportedly never let her live down. The highly relatable story proved that even global celebrities can lose all composure when faced with their own idols, especially when they are shirtless and receiving a head massage.
