Emilia Clark is currently promoting her new film, Me Before You, in which she plays opposite a paralyzed Sam Clafin. I don’t generally do these types of romantic movies (I like more “com” with my “rom”) but I have a friend angling for me to go to this one. Based on the trailer, I might cave; Sam is just that hot to me in it. The header photo is Emilia at the premiere in a Chloe gown. It certainly is in keeping with the romantic theme for the movie. There is a lot going on with that dress. I like it on the runway but I think it is too waifish for Emilia – and that neckline belongs on someone under the age of ten.
However, Emilia wore a much prettier green Dolce and Gabbana dress (pictured below) to visit with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Before they spoke about Me Before You, Colbert asked her about the fire scene in Game of Thrones in which she once again emerged from the flames naked. Naturally, the discussion led to the male full frontal from Sunday’s episode. SPOILERS in the excerpt, btw.
Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, popped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night to touch on the second-most-talked-about thing from Sunday’s episode: the brief moment of male full-frontal nudity.
“I think they heard me,” Clarke said, referring to her demand last month that the show should “free the penis.”
“Junk equality,” she called it.
The scene on Sunday night’s episode was quick — and certainly eclipsed in post-show dialogue by the death of Hodor — and ultimately inconsequential to the storyline. Arya Stark was watching a company of actors, one of whom brandished his penis worrying that he had genital warts.
Still, Clarke seemed satisfied.
Emilia explained that she didn’t use a body double for the flames scene in GoT because she wanted to support Daenerys being shown in a powerful way; she may have been nude but it wasn’t sexual, it was empowering. I really do think Emilia is committed to Daenerys being portrayed as strongly as possible on the show.
Later in the show, Emilia and Stephen had an “eyebrow-off”, reminiscent of her eyebrow-off with Cara Delevingne on Graham Norton. The eyebrow acting discussion led to talking about her years in drama school where she honed her accent skills. I like Emilia but, well… hmm. I’ll let you decide. By the way, she is doing a “Jewish Granny” and a “Southern” accent, bless her heart:

I don’t need more peen on GOT, I need more Hodor!
(I’m still not over it.)
Hmmm but the male nudity was a random, not one of the stars.
It often is, remember ther brothel scenes?
Maybe they’re inching toward more male nudity. But are any of the actors left alive attractive?
I don’t want to see the sad one naked.
I’ll take some Nikolaj (Jaime Lannister) peen any episode…
Agreed. They should have shown Jon Snow fully naked in the previous episodes – they had him lying on a table when he was “dead” – it was obvious he was completely naked, why not just show his junk? It would also have been completely non-sexual and used in an opposite way from Dany’s nude scene (hers was to show her empowerment; Jon’s would have shown his vulnerability).
Wait…She went to drama school? *confused*
That stupid penis scene did nothing for nudity equality on the show, plus it was followed by gorgeous boobs once again.
I think she’s adorable. She’s always game to play along and entertain.
While I’m not the biggest fan of Dany or of Emilia’s acting, I do like that her somewhat unconventional body is celebrated on the show. She’s not some lithe, long model with a six pack, a thigh gap, a bubble butt, and huge breasts. She’s on the shorter side with short limbs which are a little on the softer side, and a smallish chest. She and I have very similar body types, actually.
Are thinking women and men still watching this sh-t? I hesitated to comment about this silly show but wanted to say something about nudity in film.
When there is more male frontal nudity than female T&A, I’ll be impressed.
How about a version of Lysistrata with ONLY the men naked. It would be great but doubt people (including women) are ready for that much women power. It’s on you girls!
“Are thinking women and men still watching this sh-t?”
Very nice. Yes, we are. There is a LOT more to the show than piecemeal feminist complaints about the amount of nudity on either side.
Oh, there IS a lot more to the program to bitch about than nudity. I think that was just the point of this thread. I’m with Kinny, no one could watch this or other programs like it unless they were forced to by a sociologist teacher to examine what is wrong will the current collective psyche.
Ah, a random background actor checking his naked penis for genital warts. Wow, GoT, you’ve really tapped into women’s sexual fantasies.
Hey Americans, tell us, how she got her accents? They seem pretty diecent to me, but do tell 🙂
They were fun considering they were off the cuff. Certainly not many Americans could switch between a London accent and an Irish accent so quickly.
She and Emma Watson should play sisters. There are so many similarities (colouring, accent, eyebrows).
Let’s see..this Sunday past, we got a close-up of a guy squishing his warty peen & ball sac while squealing about the “warts on his c–k.” Immediately following, we were greeted by a young actress’ perfectly perky breasts. I took it as a big middle finger from D&D.
We are going to have to march on Hollywood, sestras (sisters!).
