Emilia Clarke just opened up about doing many nude scenes on Game of Thrones in a new interview with Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expert podcast . The actress says she joined the show right out of school and didn't know what to expect on set.
Id come fresh from drama school, and I was like, Approach this as a job. If its in the script then its clearly needed, this is what this is and Im gonna make sense of it, the Last Christmas actress told the Bless This Mess actor. Im floating through this first season and I have no idea what Im doing, I have no idea what any of this is. Ive never been on a film set like this before, Id been on a film set twice before then, and Im now on a film set completely naked with all of these people, and I dont know what Im meant to do and I dont know whats expected of me.
Emilia's co-star Jason Momoa, who was also often in her scenes, encouraged her to push back on the number of nude scenes. He was like, No sweetie, this isnt okay,' she said. Jason's support and additional experience on set helped her set boundaries with what she was comfortable with. Now things are very, very, very different, and Im a lot more savvy about what Im comfortable with and what Im okay with doing, she told Dax.
"Ive had fights on set before where Im like, No, the sheet stays up, and theyre like, You dont wanna disappoint your Game of Thrones fans. And Im like, F*ck you." Emilia recalled. "I feel like Ive seen enough now to know what is actually needed. I was also, little did I know, protected by the show in terms of the storytelling being at a very high level and people they were hiring being at a very high level.
