Clarke on her closest Thrones friendships
Clarke explained that her most consistent friendships from the series are with Kit and Rose. “I am [still friends with Jason Momoa], yes. Beautiful Jason. Kit and Rose are my closest though. They’re the ones that I see the most. Kit Harington played Jon Snow and Rose Leslie, who is his actual wife, played Ygritte,” she said. Clarke’s comments highlight how the on‑screen chemistry between Jon and Daenerys translated into lasting off‑screen camaraderie, while Rose’s presence further deepened the bond.
The enduring Thrones family
Clarke’s reflections underscore how Game of Thrones created lifelong connections among its cast. Jason Momoa, who played Khal Drogo, remains a beloved friend, but Clarke emphasized that Kit and Rose are the ones she regularly spends time with. For fans, her words reinforce the idea that the Thrones cast remains a tight‑knit family years after the series ended, with friendships continuing to thrive beyond the cameras.
