Emilia Clarke defends nudity on Game of Thrones, talks about her Indian connection and more

Game of Thrones’ star attraction is the Mother of Dragons, also known as Daenerys Targaryen, and Emilia Clarke, in our realm. As the show draws to an end, the very one that made her name, every fan is looking forward to how it ends for Emilia, and what’s beyond it. She recently gave a nice big interview as the covergirl for the December/January issue of Harper’s BAZAAR magazine, where she discussed quite a lot of things. Let’s get into it!

The issue will hit the stands November 28th. Check out the cover, below :

Speaking of where she comes from, Emilia said :

“It’s this epic story: My grandmother was colonial Indian, and it was a big old family secret because her mum had an affair with someone in India. She would wear makeup to make her skin look white. She loved India more than she loved England. Fuck, yeah. I love that part of me—I’m like one-eighth Indian.”

Apparently Esquire’s sexiest woman alive doesn’t quite believe in the concept of ‘the one’ :

“There is ‘the one’ for particular parts of your life—you change as you get older. So when I was in my teens, there was ‘the one’ for my teens, for sure, and then, you know, there’s ‘the one’ for the next time of your life. There’s this Buddhist philosophy that says you can only really understand yourself through your interactions with other people

I think in the early days I second-guessed everyone. I mean, I do that in life anyway, but especially with fame and becoming successful, and strangers knowing you more than your circle of friends, I would worry about what people thought of me. Then you get to a point where you’re like, ‘You know what? I’m okay.’”

She also spoke about how the talk about nudity on Game of Thrones annoys her :

“I’m starting to get really annoyed about this stuff now because people say, ‘Oh, yeah, all the porn sites went down when Game of Thrones came back on.’ I’m like, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale?’ I fucking love that show, and I cried when it ended because I couldn’t handle not seeing it. That is all sex and nudity. There are so many shows centered around this very true fact that people reproduce.

People fuck for pleasure—it’s part of life.”
