Emilia Clarke, 32, has admitted she never Google’s herself and does not take the time to read about supposed Game of Thrones spoilers. Speaking in a recent interview with OK! Magazine, the Daenerys Targaryen star spilled: “No. I never Google myself. I never read anything about the show online. “I don’t find it helpful for my mental health. It’s just too much.” However, the HBO favourite said she may make an exception for the final season of the drama.
The actress spilled: “But with it being the last season, I might read some reviews, because I read reviews for films and plays.”
Meanwhile, Emilia recently revealed she suffered two life-threatening brain aneurysms during her early years on the show.
She recently shared pictures from her time in hospital, with one showing her hooked up to machines with a tube attached to her head.
Another saw her looking sombre as she looked at her phone whilst lying in the hospital bed.
Speaking about the ordeal on CBS last week, Emilia spoke about her recovery during her 20s.
The actress said: “The first time was difficult, with the second one I found it much harder to stay optimistic.
“I definitely went through a period of being down — putting mildly.”
She continued: “In my worst moments, I wanted to pull the plug. I asked the medical staff to let me die.”
“My job — my entire dream of what my life would be — centred on language, on communication. Without that, I was lost,” she told the programme.
The Game Of Thrones star revealed her condition in a candid personal essay published in The New Yorker last month.
She explained how she had been working out when she suffered an agonising pain in her head and then fell violently ill, before being rushed to hospital where medical professionals diagnosed with a bleed in the space around her brain.
Emilia spent a month in hospital after the initial surgery and later returned to set to film Game of Thrones season two, but was told she had a second aneurysm which could lie dormant or burst at any time.
However, the star admitted playing the Mother of Dragons on the HBO show was a perfect distraction to her suffering.
“You go on set and you play a bada** character and you walk through fire, and you speak to hundreds of people, and you’re being asked to be — to work as hard as you possibly can.” she said.
“And that became the thing that just saved me from considering my own mortality.”
Game Of Thrones airs tonight in the US and on Sky One Atlantic in the UK at 2am.
