After finishing up on Game Of Thrones as the formidable Daenerys Targaryen earlier this year, Emilia Clarke has admitted she regrets not stealing something from set.
Being a so-called ‘goody two shoes’ the actress admitted she didn’t take anything, instead asking politely for a wig or a coat – something she deemed should be teaching her a ‘lesson’ in the future.
Meanwhile, all her co-stars were probably ransacking King’s Landing for all they could grasp. We all know Kit Harington has Jon Snow’s head stored safely in his fridge, for one…
‘I’m too much of a goody-two-shoes, everybody took something and I said, “Please sir, can I take a wig, seeing as there’s eight and I played the character for 10 years?” And they’re like, “Yeah, maybe”,’ she told BBC Radio 1.
‘”Can I take one of the coats, because there are eight…this coat in double, please can I have something?”’
She continued the great wardrobe wardens said they would get her a coat or a wig, as she added: ‘So I won’t take anything because they’ll send it to me.
‘[I’ve got] Nothing.’
Please, for the love of Khaleesi, send Emilia a darn wig!
The actress, who was promoting her latest film, Last Christmas, also spoke about the backlash she received after the final, polarising season of Game Of Thrones.
Emilia revealed she was once in the supermarket when a woman approached her with a less-then-fruitful review of the finale.
After Deanerys had just ‘gone out…all out…had a moment’, Emilia said: ‘I was in the supermarket and this woman turned to me and said, “I don’t know how you can show your face around here”.
‘It was heartbreaking. It’s funny now, but then it was really sad. “Could you leave, before you burn anything”.’
The star recently called the backlash ‘flattering’, as she spoke to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning.
Emilia began: ‘On every level, it’s just profoundly flattering that people genuinely cared that much and they were with us for that long and that they really, truly believed in it.
‘I don’t read anything online really because doesn’t help my brain, but largely speaking I think people are being really kind about Daenerys and Mother Dragon and backing me up, so that’s lovely.’
She continued: ‘I don’t think there’s an ending that anyone could’ve written.
‘No matter how many signatures were on any bit of paper, you just can’t and that is really just so flattering.’
