However, the show does have a way of corrupting that sexiness, by having sex scenes involve siblings or spoilers? One of the accusation constantly levelled against the show is that it is little more than boobs and blood, with sex and violence just for the sake of it. While it is a hollow issue with the show, it is one that the Queen Of Dragons is completely fed up with hearing. However, while talking to Harper's Bazaar , the issue came up once again, Clarke had the following to say on the topic:.
Speaking to Dax Shepard for his Armchair Expert podcast this week, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke pulled the curtain back on what filming nude scenes as Daenerys Targaryen for the show was actually like—especially in the first season, when nudity was a main attraction. But she "came to terms with that" before arriving on the set. As a newcomer in the industry and recent drama school graduate, Clarke said she didn't feel she was in the place to make complaints or demands. Clarke found comfort in filming with costar and on-screen husband Jason Momoa Khal Drogo , who had more experience on film sets and taught her how she should or shouldn't be treated. Years after GoT 's first season in , Clarke said the way nudity is approached on sets now is "very, very, very, different" and that she's "a lot more savvy" about expressing what she's comfortable with doing on camera. The actress felt much more empowered filming her final nude scene in Season 6. They've asked me to do it, and you know what, I'm fucking game. She and Shepard also discussed the difference between male and female actors being naked on-screen, and that women face a bigger challenge of being objectified or judged, especially online. The reason why she doesn't Google herself, she explained, was because of what she found in searches following GoT Season 1. I'm a kid, man.
