She Cried in the Toilet: Emilia Clarke Talks About Filming Nude Scenes in Game of Thrones
The 23-year-old actress was comforted and supported by Jason Momoa.
Actress Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys Targaryen in the series Game of Thrones, said on the Armchair Expert podcast about her own difficulties during nude scenes.
When the actress was offered a role in Game of Thrones, she was 23 years old, and no one warned her about “a ton of nudity”. According to the actress, she initially decided to approach it as a job, but eventually even cried before certain scenes.
“I agreed, they sent me the script. I read it and thought: ‘Oh, so that's what it is. Well, okay.’ I had just finished acting school and decided to treat it as a job,” Emilia Clarke recalls. “If it's in the script, it's not there for no reason. I'll do everything, it'll be great. But then I felt like I'd landed in another world. I didn't understand what I was doing. I didn't understand what was happening. I had never been on a set like that, and now I had to be naked and I had no idea what was expected of me.”
The host also recalled the scene in which Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) almost rapes Daenerys. In response, Emilia said that Jason was just as worried as she was.

actressI only recently realized how lucky I was, because the situation could have been different. Jason had experience, he was an experienced actor. He would say: ‘Sweetheart, this is how it should be, and this is how it shouldn't. I'll make sure of that.’ He kept shouting: ‘Bring her a blanket, she's shivering.’ He was very kind and caring.
Clarke also added that she has become more experienced and now understands what she can and cannot do for a film. After the nude scenes in Game of Thrones, the actress was offered the chance to undress on camera in a new project, but she told the creators to go to hell.
