Emilia Clarke

Biography of Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke was born in London, but grew up in the much more tranquil Oxford. But great careers can also start from there.
Little Emilia discovered her interest in acting at an early age. It was no surprise to her parents that she decided to try her luck at a London drama school straight after school. After graduating in 2009, Clarke landed her first role – a Episode appearance in the BBC series “Doctors”. Just two years later, Emilia celebrated her big breakthrough with the Hitserie “Game of Thrones”. She has been playing in the series ever since Daenerys Targaryen, Storm Daughter, Mother of Dragons, First of Her Nameand so forth.

Get your dream role thanks to the dance performance?

How did Emilia actually get the role in “Game of Thrones”? She did the duck dance at the audition! It’s not clear whether this was actually the trigger that got her the part, but it did make those responsible laugh. The series also earned Emilia her first prizes, including one Scream Award and an SXF Award. For one Emmy She was nominated in 2013, 2015 and 2016, but she came away empty-handed each time.

“I would like to explode!”

Fans of “Game of Thrones” know that the characters can never be sure of their lives. Emilia has therefore already thought about how Daenerys should die. In an “Bild” interview she explained: “It’s the nature of the series that the characters first become favorites and then are killed at some point. None of us are sure of our lives. But if Daenerys has to die, then I would have one wish… If I have to die, then please do it right. I’d like to explode!”

Raunchy scenes in “GOT”

Emilia wanted to explode during her sex scene with Jon Snow aka Kit Harington – with disgust! The two actors are good friends, but the raunchy scene made the two mimes gag, because its characters Jon Snow and Daenerys are related without knowing it. “For us, as actors, it’s just weird. The truth of who they are… I don’t know how… I mean… I think ‘Baahh’ might be their reaction to that,” Emilia Clarke tries to put into words the strange development of the story between the two.

Cinema projects outside of “Game of Thrones”

Meanwhile, Emilia Clarke can laugh about the strange incest scene. And if “Game of Thrones” actually ends for her at some point, Emilia has already taken precautions and proven that she can also shine in other roles. In “Dom Hemingway” she was seen alongside Jude Law, for “Terminator: Genisys” She stood in front of the camera alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger as Sarah Connor. And also in the Star Warsanthology about Han Solo she played a role in 2018. You could say that she moves from cult subject to cult subject…
