Ah, #SelfCare.
It's the buzzword on everyone's lips, especially that of the millennial generation - burnt out as they are, having spent the fruits of their largely unpaid labour on avocados and candles - or so the media would have us believe. But regardless of whether your "me time" consists of donning a sheet mask after an evening of imbibing too much, or whether you spend too much on the aforementioned candles to create the "perfect" ambience, one thing is for sure: we're always looking for more excuses to do absolutely nothing.
Enter Game of Thrones stars, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, who recently revealed their off-set self care routine, and it's deliciously NSFW.
While the final season of Game of Thrones is still a way away, that doesn't mean that the die-hard fans, or the stars themselves, have stopped talking about the fantasy saga. Certainly, at New York Comic Con, held this past weekend, onscreen sisters and real-life buddies, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner gave some insight about what they get up to on-set and beyond.
According to Vulture, the actresses opened up about what it was like to film the final episodes as Arya and Sansa Stark. "We’re kind of like loners of Game of Thrones, just because the past few seasons Maisie and I have sleepovers every night when we’re sleeping," Turner said, before revealing their rather, er, novel pastime. "We just used to sit there and eat and watch stupid videos and smoke weed."
Can we just be best friends with them already?
"I don’t know if my publicist will kill me for saying this. We’d get high and then we’d sit in the bath together and we’d rub makeup brushes on our faces. It’s fun," the actress continued.
Turner and Williams also divulged some details about the final season of Game of Thrones. "The secrecy is crazy," Turner said. "We have a whole different name for it when we’re shooting. I think this season it was like the ‘Tree of Life’ or something."
The pair added that as well as changing the names of the actors on scripts and call sheets, HBO also had a "drone killer" on set - and yes, it's exactly what you think it is. "It don’t know how it does it," Turner laughed. "It creates this field around and the drones just drop."
HBO has also known to film fake scenes for the show, a fact that was confirmed by Turner at the event. "We got into costume in Croatia because we know the paparazzi lurk around there, so we would spend like half a day doing nothing," she revealed.
Fair enough.
Well, here's to many more bathroom hangs for Sophie and Maisie. We're sure that the soon-to-be Mrs. Jonas could benefit from a hit of something herbal ahead of her impending nuptials...
