Game of Thrones boasted a host of highly talented actors, and Emilia Clarke is surely one of them. The 35-year-old star, famous for playing Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen, is soon to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the upcoming series Secret Invasion, where she is rumoured to play the role of a villain. Clarke loved her character Daenerys, and even to this day, she cherishes the moments she spent on the Game of Thrones set.
Nowadays Clarke is busy with theatre work, with her upcoming play based on Chekhov’s The Seagull. Though she loves being on the stage, she is absolutely terrified of being judged. In a recent interview with BBC, she said, “I’m profoundly aware of the fact that there will be people who love Game of Thrones and are seeing it for that.”
“It’s 10 times more frightening because there’ll be people wanting to go and say, ‘Well she can only act on camera, she clearly can’t act on stage,’ which is obviously the biggest fear.”
She continues, “Hopefully they’ll come and go, ‘We just came to see the Mother of Dragons, oh how frustrating, she’s not on a dragon, this isn’t what I paid for.’ Spoiler: I’m not on a dragon at any point during this play. But hopefully what they get, as a kind of little extra, is that they get to enjoy this play that they might not have seen otherwise.”
