In the past, while the show was still airing, this foreign born A- list mostly television actress never even uttered a peep about her relationship/affair with her oft taken/now married co-star.

Since the end of the show though, she has been pretty open in discussing their relationship.

That has to be awkward for his now wife.

“This Is the New Me”: Emilia Clarke, Michelle Williams and The Hollywood Reporter Drama Actress Roundtable

CLARKE Well, Sam [Taylor-Johnson, the director] is a magician. I love her, and I thought her vision was beautiful. But the last time that I was naked on camera on [Game of Thrones] was a long time ago, and yet it is the only question that I ever get asked because I am a woman. And it’s annoying as hell and I’m sick and tired of it because I did it for the character — I didn’t do it so some guy could check out my tits, for God’s sake. So, that coming up, I was like, “I can’t.” I did a minimal amount and I’m pigeonholed for life, so me saying yes to that, where the entire thing is about sensuality and sex and being naked and all of that stuff, I was just like, “No way am I going to voluntarily walk into that situation and then never be able to look someone in the eye and be like, ‘No, you can’t keep asking me this question.’ ”

Emilia, you recently wrote a powerful, devastating piece revealing the brain trauma you experienced early in Game of Thrones’ run. What made you decide to share your experience with the world?

CLARKE Well, two weeks before I did, I was like, “I’m not ready to share this with the world.” But I’ve had two brain hemorrhages and when the second one happened, I was like, “This is silly. The fact that I’ve now been lucky enough to see another day twice, I have to do something.” Then I went through a phase where I was having a tough time doing press. I didn’t think I could be seen. I was drowning. And we were going to do this huge partnership with HBO [for the charity that I’ve been building. Former HBO CEO] Richard Plepler, the dreamboat that he is, was amazing and then suddenly I was like, “I can’t.”

It just felt like too much?

CLARKE Way too much and I wasn’t ready [to talk about it]. I wanted to help people, but I didn’t want anyone to say, “Oh, another celebrity sob story.” So I took some time and we finished the show and then one day I woke up and was like, “I have to say this because I can’t help people if I don’t.”

How much of that experience informed how you not only went through life but also approached your character?

CLARKE I’ve been lying about this for a number of years. Every time anyone was like, “Where do you get your strength?” I’m like, “Heavens, I have no idea.” But [my character] and I grew together and, it’s corny as hell, but she saved my life. The main thing that happens after you’ve had a brain injury — paralysis and all of that aside — is that you have fatigue, which sounds like a fancy way of saying you’re tired, but it’s debilitating to the point of demoralizing. And you can’t look someone in the eye because it brings up shame. Most people don’t have the mother of dragons’ shoes to walk in to help them get out of it, and those are the people I speak to now. But for me, the show must go on, so you get back in those shoes and Khaleesi’s killing all the masters, speaking to 300 people in a language that’s not real and having sex with Kit Harington [who plays Jon Snow]. It literally forced me awake again and to look someone in the eye because I had to. It’s been an unbelievable blessing. And I’m so lucky to have my cognitive skills — there is a bit of my brain that’s died and we don’t know what it is, but it’s probably my taste in men. (Laughter.)- Source
