Emilia Clarke discusses 'Game of Thrones' Season 5 deaths and rape scene
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke appeared on The Graham Norton Show to discuss how she felt about the show’s deaths in Season 5 — particularly that last one.
“The latest, the last death, was definitely … that was a tough one, out of nowhere,” she said.
Clarke (who plays Daenerys Targaryen) also taking about shooting a “rape scene” with Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo), and how he managed to bring some levity to the situation.
“He decided to, for one of the scenes — which was on his back and my face — he decided to not use a modesty sock, but use a beautiful pink, fluffy sock,” she said. “So getting that closeup from me, looking petrified and just like I didn’t want it to happen was just lots of laughter.”
When you work on a show that racks up body counts of nearly 1,500 in one season alone, it’s probably necessary to lighten the mood a little bit.
