Snoop Dogg shared a ‘wonderful and precious’ moment when he met Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke.
The Gin and Juice star, 51, met the Star Wars actress, 36, backstage at his O2 Arena gig in London this week and couldn’t resist geeking out over the George RR Martin drama.
Emilia played Daenerys Targaryen throughout the HBO fantasy drama’s eight seasons from 2011 until it concluded in 2019.
The Drop It Like It’s Hot rapper confessed he was a huge fan of the show when he met the Last Christmas star in a video shared on her Instagram account.
Emilia said she had no idea he tuned into GOT, adding: ‘But I know now.’
‘I would protect your eggs any day…I’m here for you, baby, I’m here!,’ he continued.
The feeling was very much mutual with Emilia, who was visibly blown away, joking: ‘Can I get that in writing?’
The Above Suspicion star captioned the post: ‘ SNOOP. DOGGY. DOGG. 🤯🥳
The man, the myth, the legend. When he calls, you (I) come running.
‘#my16yearoldselfishavingalifealteringmomenthere #soismy36yearoldself 🤌🤩🥳.’
Snoop commented: ‘I’ love me some you 🐉🔥🐾🎥🥰.’
Fans were delighted by the encounter, with one commenting: ‘This made me cheese so hard. You both are such huge fans of each other! What a cool moment 🥰🙌.’
A thrilled GOT lover enthused: ‘There’s something so wonderful and precious about this,’ while another added: ‘Legend meets legend.’
A fourth demanded: ‘Oh I wanna see an SNL skit with Daenerys and Snoop Dogg now.’
Snoop’s tour has been a hit with fans and he delighted them when he belted out his viral Just Eat advert song.
The legendary rapper took part in a surprising collaboration in 2020 with food delivery service Just Eat, and while fans were baffled at first, the resulting song is now accepted as being a genuine earworm.
