EMILIA CLARKE PRAISES GOT FOR BALANCE OF NUDITY
Actor Emilia Clarke, seen most recently in Solo: A Star Wars Story as Q’ira, has praised the TV show Game of Thrones for its balance of male and female nudity. She has starred as the powerful Daenerys Targaryen on the hit series for seven years.
In an interview with US Glamour, Clarke revealed why she thinks GoT is so popular with both men and women, amid the industry’s recent inequality scandal, reports dailymail.co.uk.
The 31-year-old actor praised the series for showing both male and female nudity; she also claimed that the show’s depiction of power struggles was what made it so appealing to female viewers.
Clarke reflected on why her love interest, Khal Drogo (played by Jason Momoa, who is now Aquaman in the DC Comics superhero films) was not exposed on-screen, while her character stripped fully naked. Joking about Momoa’s body, she said, “Oh, I did. I saw his member, but it was covered in a pink fluffy sock. Showing it would make people feel bad. It’s too fabulous.”
She went on to praise the show’s equal amounts of male and female nudity by recalling one moment that saw another of her love interests strip for the camera. She said, “...I’d like to bring your memory back to Mr Michiel Huisman and I copulating for the first time, which began with me saying, ‘Take off your clothes’, and then you got to see his perfect bottom.”
