EMILIA CLARKE DEFENDS HER ‘GAME OF THRONES’ NUDE SCENES, SAYS SHE IS ‘REALLY ANNOYED’ BY CRITICISM
Game of Thrones has long been criticized by some (including loyal fans) for its use of graphic sexual encounters to move the plot, even though those aspects are as much a part of the George R.R. Martin source material as any other aspect of the show. Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the HBO series, is now stepping forward to discuss her graphic nude scenes. However, she’s not saying what fans might expect. She’s defending those sexually explicit scenes and putting critics in their place.
Emilia Clarke Speaks Out in Defense of Game of Thrones
Time reports that Emilia Clarke opened up about the criticism the cast has received over some of the more risque Game of Thrones scenes. The actress is clearly bothered by the amount of attention the HBO show’s graphic sex scenes have received in the media and by fans on social media. Specifically, Emilia refers to one unnamed critic who commented that adult websites would go down once the new Game of Thrones season was released.
“I’m like, The Handmaid’s Tale? I f***ing love that show, and I cried when it ended because I couldn’t handle not seeing it. That is all sex and nudity,” Clarke pointed out. “There are so many shows centered around this very true fact that people reproduce.”
Ms. Clarke pointed out that human sexuality is about more than reproduction, adding that it’s more shameful to ignore that fact than it is to recognize a basic, universal truth.
“People f*** for pleasure — it’s part of life,” said the Game of Thrones actress.
