“Game of Thrones” star Emilia has done a few nude scenes over the course of the show’s eight-year run – at least enough to make her worry about typecasting to the point where she turned down a major movie role.
Appearing in the Hollywood Reporter as part of the magazine’s dramatic actress roundtable, Clarke revealed that she passed on 2015’s “Fifty Shades of Grey” because she didn’t want to become known as an actress primarily known for being naked on screen.
“Well, (director Sam Taylor-Johnson) is a magician,” Clarke said. “I love her, and I thought her vision was beautiful. But the last time that I was naked on camera on (“Game of Thrones”) was a long time ago, and yet it is the only question that I ever get asked because I am a woman.
“And it’s annoying as hell and I’m sick and tired of it because I did it for the character,” she said, referring to Daenerys Targaryen, who memorably emerged unburned (but unclothed) from two major fires but had relatively few sex scenes.
