A month after Sophie Turner opened up about how social media scrutiny surrounding her performance and physical appearance on “Game of Thrones” added to her depression as a teen, her co-star and close friend Maisie Williams revealed her own struggles with the same problem, which has consumed her at times.

“It used to really get– I mean, it still does, who am I kidding?
