It’s the end of an era and Emilia Clarke knows that as well as anyone, as the Game Of Thrones star shared an emotional dinner with show producers this week.
The woman who plays the true ruler of Westeros (let’s be honest with ourselves here) Daenerys Targaryen hung up her platinum wig last year. But it seems she’s still going through the emotional farewells with the crew, after Emilia had dinner with showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss this week.
In town for the Oscars, she appeared pretty overwhelmed with emotion as she bid goodbye to her pals during the date in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old sported a leather jacket and black boots as she went in for a hug at the end of the night, with quite the animatedly-sad face as David and DB stood behind her.
It seemed the gang just didn’t want to part ways as they spent their time hanging out on the balcony of the restaurant before retreating to their cars.
Emilia is clearly still in the producers’ good books even though she admitted she tried her best to nick something from the Game Of Thrones set, as it wrapped its eighth and final series.
Talking about her efforts to poach props, Emilia confessed: ‘I tried to throw some things under the wig, hide them in my bag, nothing.
‘Apparently the throne itself you can’t… I was there pushing it, trying to get it in the car. It didn’t fit, so what are you gonna do?’
Whether she got off with stealing the Iron Throne or not, she still believes the finale of the long-running epic will shock people.
Which, frankly, isn’t all that shocking seeing as we’ve been on the edge of our seats the past eight years.
Speaking to E! News, she said of the final chapter: ‘It’s going to be huge, that much everyone needs to know. It took us a long time to film this one for a very good reason.
‘But I think there’s going to be some things… I know there’s going to be some things in this last season that will shock people.’
We can only hope this chummy nature with her bosses means Khaleesi wasn’t totally screwed over in the story department, right? Right?!
Game Of Thrones returns 14 April.
