Emilia Clarke on nearly dying from life-threatening condition while filming Game Of Thrones
And the actress reveals she wasn't scared of dying when she took ill on set
ACTRESS Emilia Clarke bares her soles and her soul as she opens up about her two brain haemorrhages.
The 37-year-old posed barefoot for pics for Harper’s Bazaar UK.
She had the haemorrhages in 2011 and 2013 while working on Game of Thrones.
Emilia said: “I wasn’t afraid of dying. I was afraid of being fired.”
“I decided: ‘This is not something that’s going to define me’.
“I never gave into any feeling of, ‘Why me? This sucks’.
“I was just like – gotta get back on it.”
On how it had changed her, she added: “If I hadn’t had a brain haemorrhage, I might have turned into a right old d***head, thinking I was the bee’s knees, living in Hollywood.
“I’m so much more aware of what’s happening.”
