Emilia is a young actress, who recently graduated from the famous London Drama Centre. Her first wide-screen appearance was in the TV-movie Triassic Attack (2010), and she also debuted in TV in one episode of the Doctors.
Her greatest opportunity came when she was cast in Game of Thrones as the youngest living Targaryen, right after Tamzin Merchant left the same role. I believe we can say that she does her job really well.
Emilia kindly and enthusiastically answered our questions.
Sweet, beautiful and incredibly sympathetic, Emilia talks about how significant Game of Thrones is for her. She plays one of the most popular characters, Danaerys, the heir of an ancient line, Mother of Dragons, who wants to occupy the throne of Westeros.
What did you think when you read the script for the first time? Did the sex scenes scare you?
Yes, totally. I was on vacation with my family when I started to read the script and I told myself: Oh my God!, but I had read the books, I know what I had to do and it was a collaborative process, Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) and I discussed what we were going to do and what we thought was good. And nine out of ten times the integrity of the character wines because I was a bit scared, but the group at HBO behaved well, they helped things.
It was May of 2010, and House Gatewatch was in need. We’d been stewing for over a month with the news that the role of Daenerys Targaryen was being recast. We’d heard nothing but conflicting reports, had experienced the Elena Satine Twitter debacle, and had seen more “butterface” comments regarding Dany’s former actress than might be considered polite in any neanderthal-run society. To say moods were foul would be putting it lightly.
