Daenerys Targaryen Game of Thrones season one Emilia Clarke HBO HBO

Emilia Clarke said she has been told on certain projects that it would disappoint "Game of Thrones" fans if she didn't perform a nude scene.
The "Last Christmas" star told Dax Shepard on his podcast "Armchair Expert" that she refused to be nude in a project as she wasn't told in advance.
"I've had fights on-set before where I'm like, 'No, the sheet stays up,' and they're like, 'You don't wanna disappoint your 'Game of Thrones' fans.' And I'm like, 'F--- you.'"
Clarke also said she felt overwhelmed with the "f--- ton of nudity" in the first season of "Game of Thrones," as someone who came "fresh from drama school."
While she feels more comfortable with nude scenes now, Clarke also credits Jason Momoa who played Khal Drogo in "Thrones," for empowering her to have more autonomy over her body.
"When I got to do them with Jason, [the nude scenes] were wonderful, because he was like, 'No, sweetie, this isn't okay.' And I was like, 'Ohhhh.'"
