Emilia Clarke is a guest on The Graham Norton Show tonight and she reveals some interesting information about a potential date with Brad Pitt that sadly didn’t work out.
The Game Of Thrones star shares the sofa with Solo: A Star Wars Story co-star Phoebe Waller Bridge, singer Gloria Estefan, actor David Tennant and musician Leon Bridges on this week’s episode.
But it was a story featuring the absent Brad Pitt that peaked the audience’s interest most.
At Hollywood heavyweight Sean Penn’s recent annual gala for Haiti in Los Angeles, Clarke explains, she volunteered her services for a charity auction along with fellow Thrones actor Kit Harrington.
The prize? An exclusive chance to watch an episode of the HBO epic with the Mother of Dragons herself.
The auction began at $20,000 (£18,829). But Pitt, who was also in attendance, went straight in at $80,000 (£59,317).
Later, he increased his offer to $90,000 (£66,731) before finally settling on a whopping $120,000 (£88,975).
Ultimately, the fee wasn’t enough and an unnamed gala-goer ended the auction with a bid of $160,000 (£118,634). Bad luck, Brad.
Revealing the ‘best night of her life’, Emilia says, ‘There was an auction for a charity do that I was asked to take part in so I offered time with myself.
‘As the bidding started I realised Brad Pitt was trying to buy me. I looked across the room and he had his paddle up! Sadly, he was outbid and it didn’t work out.’
Elsewhere in the chat, Clarke talks about her latest movie Solo: A Star Wars Story and partying with fuzzy wookie Chewbacca on set.
‘I did what I could – we had a dance-off under the Millennium Falcon to gangster rap. It turned into a dance-off between Chewy and Phoebe.’
Waller-Bridge interjects: ‘We were grinding for ages and no one took any notice.’
Clarke also talks about her recent trip to Cannes Film Festival where she tried to continue her party lifestyle.
‘We just kept knocking on doors to find out where the party was,’ she tells Norton.
‘We knocked on a few until we found the right one. We’d already gate crashed one of Stella McCartney’s!’
The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One tonight at 10.35pm
