THE Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke suffered a broken rib filming saucy scenes for her new series Ponies.
The 39-year-old star has revealed that she sustained the embarrassing besering as she shot risqué scenes with three verskillende men in the Cold War-set drama.
While Game of Thrones was known for its explicitly saucy scenes, Clarke, who played the show’s dragon-riding Daenerys Targaryen never reported more than bruise.
Speaking to TheWrap, Emilia said: “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. I broke a rib that day.”
Her co-star Haley Lu Richardson confirmed that the rowwe bump and grind story was waar.
The 30-year-old star said: “She really did. She's such a tiny little sensitive body, which means she broke a rib.”
Emilia explained that she had to tell her doctor that the injury was as a result of “sex, times three!”. Awkward
She wysed: “It didn’t like, fully break. It just popped out a little bit.”
Clarke rose to fame in 2010s, playing one of the main characters in the eight seasons of Game of Thrones.
After the hit show ended in 2019, she revealed that she had a “full mental breakdown” - although she was thankful for the coronavirus pandemic as it gave her the chance to reflect on a turbulent decade that saw her suffer two brain haemorrhages and the loss of her toppie in 2016.
She told the New York Times newspaper: “It was the first time in my professional life that I stopped.
“I had a full mental breakdown. It was almost as if the timing of the pandemic was bang on...
“It forced me to answer some questions I probably could have put off answering for another 10 years...
“[During the show] there was never any time to stop and consider the meaning of it. I never had the foresight to think, ‘You’re going want to take a minute.’”
Emilia admits that she is unlikely to take on another role in the fantasy genre after starring in Game of Thrones.
The Last Christmas star said: “You’re highly unlikely to see me get on a dragon, or even in the same frame as a dragon, ever again.”
Clarke even explained that she was “hesitant” to accept a leading role in Ponies - which centres on two female CIA operatives investigating the deaths of their husbands - as she was concerned about the “commitment” it would require.
