DAILY RECORD: Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke on coping with nude scenes

The stunning star of swords and sorcery smash Game of Thrones has revealed her secrets for coping with hitting the screen in the buff.

Emilia Clarke, 24, was just out of drama school when she landed the role of a lifetime as the silverhaired princess Daenerys Targaryen in the award-winning series.

But she quickly realised that her wardrobe assistant might have an easy shift because her role demanded frequent nudity.

The actress, from Berkshire, admits that, while she was apprehensive about stripping off, she also realised it was a necessary part of the role...

... Emilia, who was previously seen in TV soap Doctors and sci-fi adventure Triassic Attack, said: "It was daunting, really scary. This was the first major job I had to do but the nudity was integral to the character.

"Her journey sees her going from a girl into a woman, which is also a sexual awakening.

"As soon as you put yourself there, it's not about you, the actress, it's about the character, so that took the fear away. Hopefully, that's what you see on the screen and not just a naked actress..."


Game of Thrones season two premieres Sunday, April 1, 2012 at 9/8C on HBO.
