Emilia Clarke had an “existential crisis” when she wrapped filming on ‘Game of Thrones’.
The 31-year-old actress stars as Daenerys Targaryen in the hit HBO fantasy drama series, and has admitted she found it “bittersweet” when the cast and crew wrapped filming on the show’s eighth and final season – which is due to air in 2019 – earlier this year.
Speaking to E! News alongside co-stars Nathalie Emmanuel and Jacob Anderson at the 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday (17.09.18), Emilia said: “It’s bittersweet, we’ve all done a lot of crying. There’s been a lot of crying on set.” To which Nathalie added: “The week after we finished was a really weird week. I just felt kind of disjointed and a bit, like, ‘Ohhh.’ What does my life mean without ‘Game of Thrones’?”
Emilia then said she felt a “genuine” crisis set in when she realised she wouldn’t be heading to the set of the fantasy show ever again. She said: “Genuine! Existential crisis, like, legit, where you’re like, ‘What?'”
Meanwhile, Emilia visited the set of ‘Game of Thrones’ for one final time back in June, when she took to Instagram to share a picture of herself laid down against some flowers and bid her farewell to the iconic show.
