Although she's 21 now - and even recently announced she was getting married to Joe Jonas - it's difficult to forget that when Sophie Turner first found fame as Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones she was just 15 years old.
She, more than anyone, knows exactly what it's like to be hounded by fans and the press from a young age. So you can imagine this informed her recent Twitter response to Stranger Things stars Finn Wolfhard, 14, being slated for blanking one of the show's fans.
"Imagine you, a parent, walking with your 13 year old son/daughter and seeing a fully grown adult pointing their camera phone at your kid," wrote Turner.
"You would do anything you could to delete that persons photograph, and remove your child from that situation as soon as you could."
She continued:
Damn... seeing fully grown adults wait outside the 'Stranger Things' kids' hotels etc , and then abuse them when they don't stop for them...

Is super weird A. What adult in their right mind waits for a CHILD outside their hotel and B is then is offended when the CHILD doesn't stop

It doesn't matter if they are an actor... they are kids first. Give them the space they need in order to grow without feeling like they owe

.. in character.. That does NOT mean that this child consented to being followed around with a camera in their face. I don't care if it

"Comes with the job". It doesn't.

And how dare you shun and demean that child when they don't pose for an adult strangers photograph or walk over and talk to them when they..

There's no getting round it, is there? It's weird as fuck.
I've never really got the whole celebrity thing to be honest, it's just weird to be in awe of somebody simply for doing their job.
That said, I do have a blue tick on Facebook, so if you see me stumbling round Manchester's Northern Quarter at some point I don't mind if you take a picture and, more importantly, feel free to buy me another drink.
