In the new Power of Women London cover story of VARIETY, Emilia Clarke talks to the International Journalist KJ Yossman about being naked during “Game of Thrones” and how it compares to other sets, it was reported that $ 300k per episode of the income of the main members of GAME OF THRONES, facing the survivors of guilt after two brain hemorrhages.
Clarke not winning the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Drama:He says: “I’m embarrassed to admit that not winning an Emmy was a really big deal. “Everyone’s over ‘Game of Thrones’ now – it’s old news.”
On her change of heart after losing the Emmys:“I don’t like that person,” he thought. “Because apparently I have a 13-year-old’s vision of success.”
On his agent calling him for the “Game of Thrones” role:“I was like ‘Hello?’ And he said, ‘Have you ever auditioned for “Game of Thrones?”‘ I said, ‘You just said gobbledygook. I don’t know what we’re talking about.’”
When she read her Daenerys scenes for the first time:“I just cried out of fear.”
On being naked during “Game of Thrones” compared to other sets:“Because I know what it can be and in ‘Game of Thrones’ I’ve never had that,” he said. “I have experienced a lack of care in some activities that I think could have been prevented with some consideration.” He continued, “I don’t want to say it directly. There were only a few times when I said, ‘This is wrong.’ And again, it’s not about someone abusing power; it is because of lack of thought and carelessness.”
Of the reported $300,000 per episode for the main cast of “Game of Thrones”:“We didn’t lead that much. Can you imagine? I was going to drive a few Porsches!”
When facing survivors they are guilty after suffering two bleeds:Clarke says: “For years I felt like I had cheated death, and it was going to catch up with me. I really felt like I had done something wrong, and I shouldn’t be here. I also thought it had destroyed my ability to act—which some people would agree with!”
In his roles after “Game of Thrones” (“Secret Invasion”, “Terminator Genisys”, “Solo: A Star Wars Story”):“I don’t think anyone liked that game, guys, I’m sorry!” He continues: “‘Star Wars’? They didn’t like it. ‘Terminator’? That should never have happened. But these were jobs I agreed to, you know what I mean?”
On redefining success and participating to enjoy it:“My connection with the work ends when they say, ‘Wrap the picture.’ Because it is not for me to decide what people will think about it.”
When reading the script for his show “Ponies”:“It was a lot of fun to read,” he says. “Most of the time, I’ll get scripts where I’ll go, ‘I can’t wait to watch it, I don’t want to be in it.’ It wasn’t that.”
In full appreciation of his role in “Game of Thrones”:“I’ve taken all the roundabout ways to get to where I am now, which I’m finally able to thank for everything ‘Game of Thrones’ has done and given me. “I feel really lucky that it happened to me – even luckier that I had the time to understand what that was, and now I feel stronger on the other side.”
