« 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.
