The actress, who is perhaps best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in Game Of Thrones, has revealed she thought she would be fired from the role due to a brain injury.
Emilia Clarke has admitted she thought she would be fired from Game Of Thrones after she suffered a brain bleed. The 37-year-old starred in the fantasy series as Daenerys Targaryen but suffered a brain bleed while working out in a gym in north London in 2011. Clarke didn't want to go public with news of her injury, and kept it largely a secret from her colleagues on the show. But she admitted she was worried bosses would think she wasn't capable of doing her job after the brain bleed.
'The first fear we all had was: 'Oh my god, am I going to get fired? Am I going to get fired because they think I'm not capable of completing the job?'' Clarke was back working within weeks of her first brain bleed, but she recalled fearing that she was going to die of another haemorrhage because of the stress and pressure of working in front of thousands of people and cameras.
