‘Game of Thrones’ Cast: Emilia Clarke Reveals How She’d Be ‘Queen Of Everything’ On Show [PHOTO]
She's a powerful woman on Game of Thrones who has had her fair share of moments that have seen her physically exposed in every way possible, but if Emilia Clarke could have her way, things would be potentially very different on the popular HBO show.
In a new interview with Glamour, the woman behind Daenerys Targaryen opened up about how if she was the one writing things, not only would Dany already hold the power, but she'd be using it to ensure that the men on the show were equally as nude as the women, if not more so.
"I want to see Daenerys and her three dragons share the throne. Eat goat they've barbecued," she said. "And bring back all the pretty boys, get them to take their trousers down, and be like, 'I'm now the queen of everything! I'd like close-ups of all the boys' penises, please.'"
Of course, the show hasn't really shown much in terms of full-frontal male nudity, especially in comparison to the amounts that have been shown with female characters, but even though fans may not be getting a whole lot of that on screen, it doesn't mean she hasn't had the pleasure of seeing more nudity from her male counterparts, especially the ones who have portrayed her love interests.
"Oh, I did," she said about Jason Momoa's (who portrayed her season one husband Khal Drogo) penis. "I saw his member, but it was covered in a pink fluffy sock. Showing it would make people feel bad. It's too fabulous. No, I don't know why. But I'd like to bring your memory back to Mr. Michiel Huisman [Khaleesi's love interest in seasons four and five] 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."
Clarke also opened up about the controversial love story her character had with Khal Drogo in the first season, which saw her falling in love with him—but only after he raped her on their wedding night. Though she said she could understand where people came from when they expressed upset over the story, she thought that the power Khaleesi showed afterwards was what the real story was about.
"Well, Daenerys and Khal Drogo's arranged marriage, and the customary rape that followed—ask George R.R. Martin why he did that, 'cause that's on him," she said. "But I thought the consensual sex she has thereafter is genius. She is physically saying, 'You can't rape me again. I'm going to be in control and show you something you've never seen before.' At the heart of it, we're telling a story; you need that part of the story to feel empathy for Daenerys. You see her attacked by her brother, raped by her husband, and then going, 'F**k all of you, I'm gonna rule the world.' That's where we are now."
Game of Thrones season six premieres Sunday, April 24 at 9 p.m. on HBO.
