Warning: Contains blantant spoilers for Game Of Thrones season seven.
Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington say their Game of Thrones sex scene was ‘weird’.
Is Scarlett Moffatt joining I’m A Celebrity spin-off show, Extra Camp?
The 30-year-old who plays Daenerys Targaryen, and co-star, who plays Jon Snow in the HBO fantasy series, admitted that they gagged just like we did as a response to the steamy love-making scene nobody asked for.
Why did we all gag? Well, the pair has no idea that they are related and as the scene played out Bran Stark could be heard confirming, for the first time, Jon’s true heritage.
So basically, the Queen of Dragons is actually the Aunt to the King of the North. Weird, right?
Speaking in a special behind-the-scenes commentary for HBO, Emilia said: ‘As actor’s, it’s just weird. The reality of what they are to each other, I don’t know how that’s going to… I think [gagging] might be the reaction.’
Kit agreed with her: ‘I think they both know it’s wrong. I think they both know it’s going to cause problems. But it’s that thing, when you suddenly feel that deeply about someone and you go through these events together, it’s like a runaway train.’
However, the actor felt it it was ‘inevitable’ that their characters would end up in bed together.
‘I think it’s an inevitability from about halfway through the season that Jon and Daenerys will fall into bed together. You can’t stop it from happening,’ he explained.
This season was the first time the two actors were able to film scenes together even though they’ve been main characters since the show first aired in 2009.
Emilia explained: ‘Both of us were going, ‘Ahhh what are you doing on my set!?’This is weird!’
‘We were both kind of freaking out,’ Kit admitted. ‘Usually, you start working on a movie and meet [a co-star] for the first time and you develop chemistry on screen over time. Here, you know somebody for seven years and you’ve watched their character on screen all that time. So it’s a unique experience as an actor to come together and know the world is watching’
Kit, who has been confirmed to appear in BBC One Drama, Gunpowder, claims to have seen the pair’s meeting coming.
He revealed: ‘I predicted, like everyone, they would meet this season, but I don’t think I predicted it quite as quickly. But then again, you’ve got to take yourself out of the mindset of the viewer.
‘As far as Jon knows, he’s just meeting this queen he’s heard of and trying to negotiate with her — he’s not meeting Daenerys, who the audience has been watching for so many years. That helps with the surprise of it.
‘He walks into the room and doesn’t expect to see such a beautiful young woman of similar age to him. Any young man’s reaction is going to be, ‘Okay…’ but he puts that aside because he has to.’
How will Dany and Jon react to finding out that they did the deed with their own relative?
We will have to wait until the eighth and final season returns, possibly in 2019.
You can re-watch Game of Thrones on NOW TV.
