"Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke is back with a bang and already making it big for her return in the sixth season. The confident actress recently confessed that she would be happy to rule the world, and not just the Westeros.
However, surviving the finale of a show in which anybody is expected to die at any time is a good enough reason for Clarke being happy. On the "Game of Thrones," Clarke plays the role of Daenerys Targaryen, one of the few characters appreciated and loved by almost all the fans.
Targaryen had to face several hardships throughout the show. However, the "Mother of Dragons" or the Khaleesi always won in the end.
Apart from the show, Clarke has remained quite busy with other projects as well. She was in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" on Broadway recently and is also about to give a kick-start to her filming career with "Me Before You." In addition, the multi-talented actress is also writing a comedy with a friend, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Despite other interests in life, the actress is not keen on quitting the fascinating journey of her character before the show ends. In fact, HBO has confirmed that there will be at least two more seasons after the current one ends.
Clarke further confessed having an incredible and humble experience while working on the show. The 29-year-old actress said that she feels happy whenever someone from the public comes up and explains how her character has changed their lives or affected them in some good way.
The uncertainty of what will happen in the show next keeps Clarke desperate all the time. She tries to get secrets from the show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss all the time, but in vain.
"At the end of the day," she told the publication. "I want to win! I want to be on the throne! Please! You gave me dragons, give me the throne!"
The actress is not at all ashamed of the complaints that she has received for having a misogynistic approach in the show. She described "Game of Thrones" as a show with equal number of men and women, Harpers Bazaar reports. According to Clarke, it is easier to show different aspects of a woman when there are more women on the show.
