Game of Thrones<\/em> may have lasted eight years and cost millions and millions of dollars and employed thousands of people, but its best lasting legacy might just be the friendships it created along the way. <\/p>\n

Specifically, we’re talking about Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, who took their sisterly bond as Arya and Sansa Stark off screen to become BFFS IRL. <\/p>\n

“It was like one big elaborate thing to find me a best friend. This whole show!” Williams joked at the season eight premiere. “I’m kidding. It’s been incredible. To have a friend like that on something as wild as this is just like a godsend, really.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

That makes getting through their usually very serious scenes together a whole lot harder. <\/p>\n

“I watch back those scenes, and I can just see it in my eyes. You know like when someone’s got little tears because they’re gonna laugh? That’s kind of how I felt the whole time,” she says. “I was corpsing a lot during our scenes together.” <\/p>\n

In the video above, Williams also offers her thoughts on whether she’s intimidating in real life and whether she’d be more scared of a zombie Ned Stark or a zombie direwolf, and below, you can see Williams’ and Turner’s friendship through the years! <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Sisters that tattoo together stay together<\/h3>\n

Nothing says “best friends forever” quite like matching tattoos. In 2016, the Game of Thrones<\/em> co-stars got matching tattoos that read “07.08.09.” It marks a special day for both of them because on August 7, 2009 they found out they would be cast in the show.  “She’s one of my <\/span>best friends in the whole world. We got matching tattoos<\/a><\/span>,” Maisie told E! News’ Giuliana Rancic at the 2016 Emmys. Sophie chimed in and said they had been thinking about matching tattoos for a decent amount of time. She told E! News, “The date <\/span>was always really significant…and <\/span>then with Thrones<\/em> we were <\/span>always planning from season <\/span>one, like if we make it all the <\/span>way through, hopefully we <\/span>could all get a matching <\/span>thing.”<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
