Emilia Clarke recently shared what one thing she 'deeply" regretted from the Game of Thrones final season.
The final episode of Game of Thrones aired May 19 to mixed reactions from fans. Many were inconsolable and left wanting more. Some could not accept how the story ended and sought to have the producers of the show re-conceptualize and remake the whole season.
It is not inconceivable that the actors on the show Game of Thrones, which ran for eight seasons, would have their own deep regrets post-finale. And that includes Emilia Clarke.
The actress played the part of Daenerys Stormborn of the House of Targaryen, a major character on the television series Game of Thrones. The English cast member recently shared in the June issue of Variety magazine, where she was featured as the cover story, the lamentable fact that she had neglected to make sure she took away a keepsake from the last season of the show.
The 32-year-old star shared in her published cover story how she regretted it "deeply" that she "didn't take anything" from the show's set. She also went on to say she was "very annoyed" at herself for being remiss at that while also "hoping" that somehow the "showrunners" would grant her a dragon egg as a significant memento of her role as Daenerys.
She described how she felt about the show's "final moment," saying it felt "utterly surreal" to her as well as "completely bizarre" after devoting ten years of her life on the show and having "so much life" there that had transpired.
The London native admitted the end of the show had been "deeply emotional" and that having it end "broke everyone." She shared that she felt her character truly "saved" her life.
Clarke took the opportunity to share something that she had written before the final episode of Game of Thrones. In a social media post, the young actress had expressed that words felt too "small" to express the entirety of what the series and her role in it "meant" to her.
She has described the chapter which told of her story as the "mother of dragons" as having "taken up" the "whole" of her life as an adult. Clarke described how she struggled and "wrung" her brain "dry" to bring justice to her role as Khaleesi. The role she had as Daenerys took up the "whole" of her "heart."
Clarke has acknowledged how her TV series has molded her as a "woman" and as an "actor," but most of all, as a "human being. She pointed out she had hoped her "darling" father could have been there.
As for her cover on the magazine, she shared the honor with Black Monday's Regina Hall, who she said was just like her, playing a role which most viewers have never been seen before, clearly women who stood for something in a "male-dominated" industry.
