Emilia Clarke starring as Daenerys Targaryen says she didn’t know she would be nude when she accepted the role.
She admitted that she was ‘terrified’ of the sex scenes because she ‘didn’t know what to do’.
Emilia, who was just 23 at the time, was ‘fresh from drama school’ and had ‘never been on a film set before’ and had to strip naked in front of ‘all those people’
“I’ve never been on a film set like this before and I’m now on a film set completely naked with all of these people, and I don’t know what I’m meant to do, and I don’t know what’s expected of me, and I don’t know what you want, and I don’t know what I want,” Clarke said.
‘Regardless of there being nudity or not, I would have spent that first season thinking I’m not worthy of requiring anything. I’m not worthy of needing anything at all.’
However, she did credit Jason, 43, who portrays Khal Drogo, for making filming as easy as possible as she felt ‘imposter syndrome’.
