GoT star Emilia Clarke on the cover of Hero Complex magazine
Quote:
“Game of Thrones” star Emilia Clarke portrays one of the most popular characters on the show, Khaleesi, and she was featured on the latest cover of the Los Angeles Times‘ Hero Complex magazine.
In the issue, Clarke discusses the growth of her character, whose given natural name is Daenerys, and the current season of the show along with other topics.
It is always nice to get an inside look at a character from the actor who puts in the time and effort to bring them to life, and Clarke provided an interesting look at what she put in to being a star on the HBO hit series.
“I relate to her more and more, oddly enough,” Clarke said when asked about her connection to the character.
“Every season I find more depth to her as a character and, within that, finding more depth in myself. She’s definitely grown and continues to grow from a girl into a woman, and me too, so we’re in it together.”
Clarke also discussed the challenges of the playing Khaleesi by saying, “Every day there brings a new challenge and a new reward. There are some moments where I’m like, ‘Lighten up, honey!’ Where the reality of a situation might make you want to take a breather.
“The challenges are namely the physical aspects of being under the baking sun in a desert in Morocco with a wig on feeling very hot. But there’s just so much that’s wonderful about getting to play her — everyone is lovely, everyone wants to be there, it’s a beautiful camaraderie. It makes those days when you’re a little bit tired that much easier.”
“Game of Thrones” returns on Sunday, April 13, with episode two of season four titled, “The Lion and the Rose,” which will provide a thrilling moment that will leave fans of the HBO hit series talking.
