The makers, David Benioff and DB Weiss are yet to comment on the same. She said, “I’ve had fights onset before where I’m like, ‘No, the sheet stays up,’ and they’re like, ‘You don’t wanna disappoint your Game of Thrones fans.’ And I’m like, ‘Fuck you.’” The bare-naked champ is Shameless with 238 nude scenes out of. It got even worse when the makers wanted her to strip down just to please the GOT fans. For all its nudity, Game of Thrones falls behind several other shows when it comes to total number of nude scenes. “Because Jason had experience – he was an experienced actor who had done a bunch of stuff before coming on to this – he was like, ‘Sweetie, this is how it’s meant to be, this is how it’s not meant to be, and I’m going to make sure that that’s the fucking gaze.’ He was always like, ‘Can we get her a fucking robe? She’s shivering!’ … He was so kind and considerate and cared about me as a human being (sic).” When the makers pressurized Emilia only to please GOT fans In a scene where Khal virtually rapes Khaleesi on their wedding night, he cried more than she did.Įmilia said, “It’s only now that I realise how fortunate I was with that because that could have gone many, many, many different ways,” she said. I’m not worthy of needing anything at all (sic).” Khal Drogo inspired Khaleesi to fight the nudityĮmilia further narrated how her co-star Jason Momoa - who played her on-screen husband, Khal Drogo - helped her to get through the nude scenes and was protective about her throughout. Regardless of there being nudity or not, I would have spent that first season thinking I’m not worthy of requiring anything. I’d been on a film set twice before then, and I’m now on a film set completely naked with all of these people, and I don’t know what I’m meant to do, and I don’t know what’s expected of me, and I don’t know what you want, and I don’t know what I want. She further said, “I’ve never been on a film set like this before. This is what this is and I’m going to make sense of it and that’s what I’m going to do and everything’s going to be cool (sic).” Leaving all her fans in shock, Emilia recently opened up about how she was pressurized to do nude scenes to not disappoint GOT fans.Įmilia said, “I took the job and then they sent me the scripts and I was reading them, and I was like, ‘Oh, there’s the catch!’ But I’d come fresh from drama school and I approached it as a job: if it’s in the script then it’s clearly needed. It’s been six months since the last episode of Game Of Thrones aired but the theories and controversies surrounding it are still very much alive.
She might have been the all-conquering Khaleesi on screen but when it comes to the demands of the studio, even a Targaryen has to bow down. However, we all know it's hardly true because most actors perform such scenes under duress.
“I’ve had fights on set before where I’m like, ‘No, the sheet stays up,’ and they’re like, ‘No, you don’t wanna disappoint your Game of Thrones fans.“Whatever the script demands”-a statement actors often repeat when they are asked about nudity on screen. While the actress said she is “a lot savvier” about indicating what she is and isn’t comfortable doing, she explained that there was pressure to perform a certain way for fans. “‘This is mine, they’ve asked me to do it, and I’m fucking game.'” She went on to identify an element that continues to make nude scenes difficult, noting, “It brings into the question: What it is like being under the gaze of people you’ll never meet and will never know?” “When I did the last nudity that I did for the show, I was like, ‘I am owning this,'” recalled Clarke. “There’s a layer of vulnerability that happens when someone’s naked,” added Shepard. Later on in the podcast, Clarke talks about how many people would want to talk to her about Khaleesi’s nudity - especially in the first season. “He was so kind and considerate and cared about me as a human being.” Because Jason had experience, he had done a bunch of stuff before coming on to this, he was like, ‘Sweetie, this is how it’s meant to be and this is how it’s not meant to be, and I’m going to make sure that’s the way it goes.” She added that Momoa would always make sure she was provided with a robe during nude scenes on set. She went on to say, “It’s only now that I realize how fortunate I was with that, because that could have gone many, many, many different ways.
