Today is the birthday of the charming and cheerful Emilia Clarke.
Despite the fact that the Mother of Dragons was one of the most popular characters in Game of Thrones, the actress is hardly recognizable on the street. And it's not just a wig, removing which Emilia Clarke magically turns into a short, well-knit brunette. These are very different personalities by nature.
Full name
HBO
The full name of the actress is Emilia Isabelle Eufemia Rose Clark. Here, of course, the makings of Daenerys Storm-born from the House of Targaryen, from the blood of ancient Valyria, the first of this name, the queen of the Andals, Roynar, etc., are immediately visible.
Character
In life, Emilia is terribly cheerful, mobile and funny. She's really having a hard time playing characters like Daenerys Targaryen and Sarah Connor who don't waste their time on such nonsense as jokes.
“My facial expressions are really oh-oh-oh-very active, and for characters like Daenerys, I have to hold back a lot. The director constantly says: 'Emilia dear, this is what you are doing now, could you not? Well, just relax your face, okay? No, I'm afraid you're still doing it. Relax, please. " It’s good that he’s not asking anyone to bring Botox and give me a round. But the biggest nightmare is that Daenerys isn't smiling. It just kills. Well, maybe she smiles a couple of times all the time."
Students and part-time jobs
Breakfast at Tiffany's, Broadway, 2013
Emilia studied acting at the prestigious Drama Center School, among whose alumni are Tom Hardy, Paul Bettany and Michael Fassbender. In parallel, she played in the theater and earned money as best she could.
Emilia: “I managed to work as a student. In the call center, however, I did not last long - because you can't cry when people share their problems with you No-o-o-o, it's so sad !!! Then for a while I was a terrible bartender. I could make about one cocktail, although there were ten on the menu. Therefore, whatever the person ordered, I made him a whiskey sour. I also gave people too much change all the time. She worked in catering work, served drinks and tartlets. Therefore, when now I find myself at all sorts of show-off events, I remember what the work of people who come up to you with a tray is like. And how important it is not to look through them, not to behave as if they are invisible. And you also need to leave one canapes on the tray so they can eat later. Because a tray with one canapé cannot be carried further around the room, and then they can take it to the kitchen. I also worked as a waitress. And handed out flyers. For one museum. On the streets of London, I approached people and said: “Can I interest you in this exhibition?” And I was a shot-girl. Well?! Truth. I was young and I needed money."
Luck
HBO
She finished her studies in 2009, and in 2010 she got the role that made her famous. Daenerys Targaryen was originally supposed to be played by actress Thamesin Merchant, but after the pilot episode was released, the producers decided to abandon her services and find a new performer.
Emilia: “When my agent called me to audition, I was very surprised. The casting director said something like, “Yes, I know everything. I know that she is a short, plump brunette - and I still want her to come."
We can say that during the auditions, Emilia behaved naturally: she recited, performed a dance of little ducklings and portrayed a robot. That is, everything that is characteristic of Emilia Clarke and does not at all look like a khaleesi.
Aneurysm
In the spring of 2013, Emilia Clarke suffered a ruptured cerebral aneurysm after her performance at Breakfast at Tiffany's on Broadway.
Emilia Clarke has the funniest acting Instagram ever. After reading it, it is impossible to leave without a smile. We already wrote once about her pranks: 16 moments when Emilia Clarke outshined everyone on Instagram.
Eyebrows
Emilia Clarke is also an eyebrow champion. Even Cara Delevingne admits it.
About dragons
Emilia: “If I had my own dragon, I would name it Bob. We would fly back and forth a lot. And he would also fry me a chicken kebab."
