Daenerys Targaryenâs story began as a young, oppressed banished princess. Her rise to the sky as the Dragon Queen, Mother of the Dragons is an incredible story arc of Game of Thrones. Daenerys was initially known far and wide not just for her dragons, but for her kind nature. She was affectionately called Mhysa (mother) by the many slaves she freed, hence earning the title Breaker of Chains. Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys on Game of Thrones, is brave and kind in real life as well. She has often helped co-stars (like Nathalie Emmanuel) on set.
Great British Bake Off contestant Laura Adlington was blown away when Emilia Clarke slid into her DMs. Appearing on spin-off show Bake Off: Extra Slice, Laura told host Jo Brand, âEmilia Clarke, Mother of Dragons from Game of Thrones, sent me a message.â
â[She] just said, âLaura, me and my friends love you. Thanks for brightening up our lockdown. We hope you win. I think she called me a âbaking queenâ. So my life is now complete, quite frankly. Friends with Matt Lucas and Emilia Clarke. Doesnât get better than that, does it?â
Laura made it to the final round of the Channel 4 competition. Even though she was narrowly beaten by winner Peter Sawkins, getting a compliment from Emilia is a big achievement.
