Emilia Clarke shares her true feelings about the nudity in 'Game of Thrones'

"It was just a wonderful, strong moment I wanted to own, a real empowering, girl-power wow scene."

"I was so thrilled with it. It's not a sexy scene, she's not naked for no reason, it's not gratuitous. She's naked because she's just destroyed her enemies in this almighty blaze after they underestimated her – how could I say no?"

Now that the seventh season has ended, those scenes have diminished once more, but there are still many that associate the show with unnecessary nudity - and the actress has had enough of it. Speaking to Harper's Bazaar about her feelings about the industry, as well as her upcoming roles in such films as the Star Wars spin-off movie Han Solo, she got to the heart of why she's sick of talking about this topic: "I'm starting to get really annoyed about this stuff now because people say, 'Oh, yeah, all the porn sites went down when Game of Thrones came back on'". "I’m like, 'The Handmaid’s Tale'? I f**king love that show, and I cried when it ended because I couldn’t handle not seeing it" .
