'Game of Thrones' star Emilia Clarke prepares for her hit TV show by listening to gangsta rap. The 28-year-old actress discover the music empowering and helps her feel ''badass'' before shooting scenes as Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen.
She explained: ''A lot of gangster rap before 'Thrones'. Like Tupac,Biggie, But then some Florence. And Beyonce obviously. I tried Eminem once, but that was too much. For me, it's like, you wake up and think Biggie, can you help me?''When you're doing a huge scene, trying to empower hundreds of extras, you've got to get me to a G.''
In spite of Emilia's friend and co-star apparently having his alter ego Jon Snow killed off in the last series of the fantasy drama, she is confident he will be back.
It's still a puzzle whether Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington have any sort of chemistry together. Because the Game of Thrones characters, who play Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow, haven't shared a particular scene together in five seasons. But further than the show it appears that the two stars have shaped a close bond - at one point even going to an FKA Twigs gig together. Emilia, who is blonde on the hit HBO series but brunette in real life, has confessed that she finds it entertaining going out with Kit because fans recognize him but not her.
''We went to a FKA twigs gig and it was mental. I went to the loo and in the cubicle on either side the girls were like, 'That's Jon Snow out there! Don't know who that random girl is...' ''
For the reason that the actress dons a platinum blonde wig for the show, she rarely gets recognized when she's not working and finds it hilarious when she's out with her co-stars.
