Despite making huge profits thanks to the TV blockbuster "Game of Thrones", actress Emilia Clarke affirmed that rumors about the remuneration of the main cast have been exaggerated.
The star who played "Dragon Mother" Daenerys Targaryen throughout the 7 seasons of the hit fantasy series on HBO recently officially clarified the information that she and her co-stars received up to 300,000 USD (more than 7.6 billion VND) for each episode.
We don't make that much money," Emilia Clarke frankly shared with Variety. "Do you guys think so? If that's true, I already own a few Porsches!

Despite denying the "huge" figure mentioned above, the actress admitted that the accumulated income from the film was still enough to help her pay off the entire house mortgage for her parents. Having spent a decade associated with this brand, Emilia Clarke expressed deep gratitude, although she did not hesitate to reveal that she had struggled to adapt to the overwhelming aura that the role brought.
I have gone through many stages to achieve the success I have now - where I can truly be grateful for everything that "Game of Thrones" has brought," Emilia Clarke confided. "I no longer feel framed in that image, or bound by the consequences of the film's reputation. Currently, I feel like I have completely turned a new page.
Notably, the beauty born in 1986 revealed that she had never heard of this series when she received an audition invitation from her representative. However, right after officially passing the casting round to receive a heavy role, she celebrated enthusiastically for 3 consecutive weeks.
Also in the interview, Emilia Clarke for the first time rekindled her feeling of disappointment when she missed the "Best Leading Actress in a Drama Series" award to Jodie Comer (film "Killing Eve") at the 2019 Emmy Awards.
I was quite ashamed to admit that missing the Emmy Awards that year was a big shock," she confided about her psychology at the time. "At that time I thought: Everyone is tired of "Game of Thrones", I have become'outdated news'.
This failure caused Emilia Clarke to skip all post-award parties - a decision she now regrets deeply.
At the present time, the star of the "The Ponies" project said that she has completely changed her worldview. Instead of chasing after the recognition of critics or revenue, she only accepts projects when she is really excited and enjoys the character.
