When scenes call for nudity, it’s not uncommon for actors to use body doubles. Emilia Clarke is not one of those actors.
The actress sent Game of Thrones fans into a frenzy Sunday night when her character, Daenerys Targaryen, escaped from the Dothraki leaders by setting their hut on fire, trapping them inside with her and emerging from it alone, completely nude and unburnt.
The nude body GOT fans saw on screen was actually Clarke’s—not a body double—and she’s fine if everyone knows it. Clarke told Entertainment Weekly, “It’s so exciting, very tingly-making. Every season I get at least one spine-chilling moment.
“I’d like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3. That was awhile ago. It’s now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I’m just feeling genuinely happy I said ‘Yes.’ That ain’t no body double!”
