As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the sprawling world of Westeros, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of empathy towards Emilia Clarke, the fiery Khaleesi herself. The Internet, often hailed as a global village, has shown its ugly side when it comes to public figures like her.
The enthusiasm for “Game of Thrones” has persisted even after the series ended, with fans eagerly awaiting Season 3 of the spin-off, “House of the Dragon.” Amidst the excitement, “HotD” has also sparked renewed interest in the original cast of “Game of Thrones,” as people continue to be intrigued by their lives post-series. Notable cast members like Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys Targaryen, have found themselves back in the spotlight.
As a gamer, I’ve noticed that the digital world can sometimes resemble the lawless frontier, especially when it comes to comments. Actors in popular shows often find themselves on the receiving end of harsh criticism, and it’s not just about the content we see on platforms like TikTok or YouTube, where they share reactions to what people have searched online – a move aimed at fostering conversations about their lives. Recently, Emilia Clarke, a guest on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, shared her experience with being excessively judged and scrutinized, particularly regarding her body.
I’ve never searched myself on Google because I learned early on and have never done it since. After Season 1, when I did look, all I found were articles criticizing my appearance, which left me wondering why anyone would do this to a young girl. So, I decided, “You know what? I’m just a kid! Give me some space.
In simpler terms, Emilia Clarke has openly discussed her experiences both during and outside the filming of “Game of Thrones.” She’s talked about the pressure she faced concerning the early nudity scenes in the series. Furthermore, she has shared instances where Jason Momoa supported her when she was uncertain about shooting scenes without clothing on TV. However, it wasn’t just the on-set incidents that made her feel uncomfortable during her younger days on “Game of Thrones,” as she herself described, she was essentially a child filming for the show.
The resurgence of popularity for HotD has resurrected debates that were initially sparked by its precursor. These conversations encompass various aspects such as the script, tempo, graphic depictions of violence, and predictably, the explicitness and nudity in the series. While actresses like Clarke have found amusement and levity in filming nude scenes for the show, she also emphasized that it was essential for the show to portray her character as it did.
However, regarding this character, I’ve encountered a multitude of opinions from various individuals about the nudity aspect, particularly concerning Daenerys Targaryen’s nudity in the series. What seems peculiar is that people would be indifferent if they hadn’t witnessed her being subjected to abuse. Yet, it was crucial for them to have seen such instances.
At the peak of her fame on Game of Thrones, Clarke often felt uneasy when fans asked for selfies due to the feedback about her performance on the show. Clarke admitted that browsing social media affected her mentally, causing her to have negative thoughts about her appearance. She explained that she was careful not to tie her self-worth to public opinions and thus decided to stick to signing autographs instead of searching herself online to reduce her anxiety levels.
Although Emilia Clarke is not the initial celebrity from a large fanbase to openly discuss the detrimental effects of the internet on her psychological well-being, it’s heartening to know that she’s discovered methods that help her cope and persist within the entertainment field.
