Emilia Clarke’s sex scenes with Kit Harington in Game of Thrones are made so much worse because her brother is a camera assistant

 

 

Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke has revealed that sex scenes with Kit Harington are undeniably worse for her than any other cast member because her brother has to inspect them with a fine tooth comb. The 32-year-old stars as Daenerys Targaryen, the heroic Mother of Dragons, who currently sleeping with her nephew Jon Snow. As if that wasn’t uncomfortable enough, Emilia has the added embarrassment that her brother works in the camera department.

‘It gets pretty tricky when filming love scenes,’ the English rose admitted during last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, stressing that she makes sure he’s at the very least out of the room. Yeah, there’s some days when he’s like “Oh I’ll swing by” and I’m like “No it’s good! You can stay there.”‘ Fair, Emilia. Fair. The latest instalment to come from Game of Thrones, The Long Night, was quite literally the moment fans of the HBO epic have waited the best part of a decade for as The Night King (Vladimir Furdik) came charging into Westeros to kill Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright).

 

He failed, after being stabbed by Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), but what was really impressive about season eight episode three was the epic fight between the leader of the dead army and Jon Snow, soaring through dark night on their rival dragons. Or Daenerys’ dragons, actually, which Emilia joked she ‘feels weird about’. But Kit had a much harder time riding the creatures than Emilia because it’s a ‘little more uncomfortable’ for men. Or as Jimmy so eloquently put it, ‘because of the human testicles’. Sunday night’s episode was easily one of the most spectacular moments in television, but according Emilia episode five will be even ‘bigger’.
