Emilia Clarke has revealed she tried to pinch her most prized possession from Game of Thrones – Daenerys Targaryen’s wig.
Game of Thrones ended this year to huge controversy, even if the cast had the last laugh last when they scooped up a further 12 Emmy Awards including the biggest prize of the night for Best Drama.
After almost a decade of playing the Mother of Dragons, naturally, Emilia wanted to keep a memento. But even the fantasy epic’s lead is getting the cold shoulder from a particularly precious HBO.
‘I was like, “Pretty please, can I have a wig?” Because that’s my thing, it’s my hair,’ Clarke told Access. ‘They were like, “Yeah, sure, maybe.”’
She added: ‘I have not seen the wig! We wrapped, like, a year and a half ago! I’m waiting for my wig.’
The 32-year-old’s admission is no surprise considering she previously revealed the first time she wore Dany’s iconic hairpiece is one of her favourite moments from eight seasons of Game of Thrones.
‘Eight years later, I’m still so excited to wear it,’ she enthused to Harper’s Bazaar.
Game of Thrones maybe over but Clarke is about to star in one of the most highly-anticipated films still to come in 2019, Last Christmas, where she’ll be belting out a festive bop.
Basically, her next venture couldn’t be a farther cry from Daenerys.
She also gets pooped on, which would have cost someone their head if it happened to the ‘Mad Queen’.
Game of Thrones seasons one to eight are available on Netflix. Last Christmas is out later this year.
