Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke reveals she suffered embarrassing injury while filming wild sex scene for racy series
GAME of Thrones star Emilia Clarke broke a rib while filming wild sex scenes for her latest racy series.
The dragon-riding actress was injured after a bonking marathon, which saw her bed three men in just a few hours as undercover agent Bea for new Peacock show Ponies.
It takes Emilia, 39, back to her days as Game of Thrones’ Daenerys Targaryen, the dragon queen who used her seduction techniques to rein in savage chieftain Khal Drahgo, played by Jason Momoa.
The two stars were reunited this week, 15 years after the fantasy drama debuted, with a hug that might have proved a tad painful after filming her latest drama.
Emilia said: “I broke a rib that day….three men, in a number of hours.
“Just keep bringing it – I’m going to sit on this thing, you’re going to bring them in, we’re going to pretend to have sex.
She told TheWrap how it led to an embarrassing encounter with her doctor when she had to explain how she’d sustained the injury.
She told him: “Sex! Times three!”
In her latest project, she plays the wife of a CIA agent during the Cold War, who dies under mysterious circumstances.
Her character Bea decides to go back to Russia and work as and agent herself to get answers.
It leads to her seducing a high-level KGB operative and infiltrating his dealings and falling for an asset she’s looking out for.
As well as a small screen star, Emilie has gone on to forge a career in Hollywood, featuring in big budget action films Terminator Genisys and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Last month the British star said she’d planned to give fantasy a wide berth for the rest of her career.
“You’re highly unlikely to see me get on a dragon, or even in the same frame as a dragon, ever again,” she once said
She was awarded an MBE last year for setting up brain injury recovery charity SameYou after suffering a brain haemorrhage that nearly killed her in 2011.
