Sex scenes are one of the effective tricks to attract customers, but the memory of it sometimes haunts female stars for the rest of their lives.
Since the 1960s, sex scenes have become “popular” on screen and have become increasingly bold since then. While viewers are free to comment and criticize, what many people do not expect is that the actor himself is always haunted even after the film has finished filming many years later.
“Mother of Dragons” in the movie “Game of Thrones”
Stories of hot scenes and nude scenes appearing in American television series have long been very familiar to audiences. However, in the series “Game of Thrones”, this boldness has caused controversy, making even Western viewers humiliated by its frequency and ferocity.
Having just graduated from acting school in 2010, Emilia Clarke was “directly targeted” by the producer for the role of mother dragon Daenerys Taragyen. Since “Game of Thrones” debuted, Emilia Clarke has become the soul and indispensable part of this legendary series.
Actress Emilia Clarke shared that she was very upset because she was forced to act in too many hot scenes in the movie. Accordingly, Emilia said she was only 23 years old at that time, too young and had too little experience, so she was very embarrassed when asked to be 100% nude in front of so many people. Even after having experience in two previous films, having to be completely nude in front of a large crew is not easy. According to Emilia Clarke, she also thinks that doing sex scenes right now is no different from being raped.
Luckily, Jason Momoa – her on-screen husband is an extremely kind man. He wears a robe for the actress every time she finishes filming a hot scene. The actor even advised the director not to force Emilia if she doesn’t like it.
However, many people believe that if it were not for those sensitive scenes, she would not have been noticed due to her “unskilled” acting ability. However, her role as Daenerys Targaryen in “Game of Thrones” helped Emilia Clarke win two prestigious Emmy Awards in 2013 and 2015, making her name an A-list star and expanding her career path.
Emilia Clarke excelled in portraying the strong dragon mother Daenerys Targaryen in the film, but no one knew that during the filming of this popular series, Emilia was very sick and suffered from a dangerous brain aneurysm. In the article “The Battle of Life” in The New Yorker magazine, Emilia Clarke first talked about her illness and two surgeries. The actress said she first suffered a brain aneurysm in 2011 at the age of 24, shortly after completing the first season of “Game of Thrones.” Then, she suffered a second brain aneurysm in 2013 after completing “Game of Thrones” season 3.
Unfortunately, the surgery was not successful, doctors performed another procedure directly through the brain. Emilia left the hospital after a month, she confided: “Recovering from the second surgery was even more painful than the first. I felt like I had gone through a more terrible war than Daenerys.” Currently, the talented actress has fully recovered, and she helps brain injury patients through a charity organization called Same You.
Supporting roles are often asked to “undress”
The famous series “Game of Thrones” has always been known as a genuine “sex bomb”, as throughout many seasons, the audience has enjoyed a series of hot scenes ranging from brutal to extremely violent. In particular, not only the main actors but also the supporting actors had to accept to “take off” their entire breasts for many scenes in the movie.
Actress Nathalie Emmanuel plays a slave (Missandei) who is freed by Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), then becomes a loyal servant of Daenerys ever after.
Over the course of several seasons, Missandei formed a passionate love affair with Gray Worm (Jacob Anderson) – an Unsullied soldier also freed by Daenerys, who was serving her. In the final season, these two characters had a passionate love scene together. This is also what many audiences have to wait for. This scene surprised viewers because of its extremely high level of “revelation”.
The actress shared that someone once challenged her and asserted that the movie required actors to perform sensitive scenes. She was willing to choose to abandon the project instead of accepting to take it off on screen. After many rejections, such offers became less and less. In some cases, Nathalie Emmanuel and the film producer compromise instead of leaving.
This hot scene excited many fans, but caused Nathalie Emmanuel to have trouble later when looking for other roles. The fact that she accepted to take off her clothes in “Game of Thrones” made many other producers think that the actress accepted to “show off her body” in every role even though this is not true.
In reality, in the Hollywood film industry, where the speed of releasing a new movie is counted by days, there is the harsh truth that many actresses are forced to be nude to act in sex scenes. And a small part of them had absolutely no intention of doing that when they signed the movie contract. However, because they do not have enough bravery, power and experience, they have to accept to continue that job.
