US WEEKLY – GoT super fan! David Beckham was left āstar struckā after he met Game of Thrones alum Emilia Clarke, also known as the Mother of Dragons, on Friday, November 22.
The soccer superstar, 44, took to Instagram to gush about the pairās meeting at a Fleetwood Mac concert in San Francisco.
āI was a little star-struck whist [sic] being in the same vicinity of the Mother Of Dragons ⦠So nice to see @emilia_clarke in San Fran whilst being wowed by Fleetwood Mac š„ #dreamforce2019,ā Beckham wrote alongside a photo of the two smiling as he put his arm around her.
The father of four previously found himself in hot water. with British Game of Thrones fans after posting spoilers about the HBO series on his Instagram Story in February 2017.
Beckham took snapshots of the season 7 episode The Queenās Justice and shared them with his 59 million followers before the episode aired in the U.K., which led some fans to slam him on Twitter. One user even tweeted, āDavid Beckham casually spoiling Game of Thrones on his Insta stories like he spoiled the World Cup in 1998.ā
Nevertheless, Beckhamās GoT fandom has prevailed. Clarke, meanwhile, has become accustomed to peopleās adoration since landing a starring role on the acclaimed HBO series.
The 33-year-old English actress, who played Daenerys Targaryen from 2011 until the series ended earlier this year, became a fan favorite and was nominated for three Emmy awards for her work on the show. While she is grateful for the experience, Clarke told Dax Shepard. that she was made to believe Game of Thrones fans would be ādisappointedā if she didnāt appear nude on screen.
āIād come fresh from drama school, and I was like, āApproach this as a job.ā If itās in the script then itās clearly needed, this is what this is and Iām gonna make sense of it,ā Clarke explained on Shepardās āArmchair Expertā podcast in November. āIām floating through this first season and I have no idea what Iām doing, I have no idea what any of this is. Iāve never been on a film set like this before, Iād been on a film set twice before then, and Iām now on a film set completely naked with all of these people, and I donāt know what Iām meant to do and I donāt know whatās expected of me.ā
She went on to share that it was her costar Jason Momoa who gave her the confidence to say ānoā to GoTās many nude scenes.
āHe was like, āNo sweetie, this isnāt OK,āā the Last Christmas star dished. āNow things are different. Now things are very, very, very different and Iām a lot more savvy about what Iām comfortable with and what Iām OK with doing.ā
