Sophie Turner is taking classes for a career in criminology

Sophie Turner may be known for her acting, but on Conan she revealed she is looking to begin a new career away from the camera. The Game of Thrones and X-Men star said she has started studying to become a detective.

“I've started studying criminology, which I'm really excited about,” Turner told the talk show host, though the actress admitted she still has a long way to go. “I'm only in unit 2 right now so I'm early on.”

This is not the first time Turner has discussed pursuing a career in law enforcement. Back in April, she was a guest on the podcast “Phil in the Blanks” with Dr. Phil, where she discussed an “urge” to attend the police academy and become a cop.

Outside of taking classes, Turner said she plans on attending a real autopsy with a friend of hers who is a cop. And her obsession with the criminal system is so great, she admitted she wouldn’t mind spending at least one day in prison.
