Since the final season of Game of Thrones aired, Emilia Clarke only has one thing that she “deeply regrets” about the whole thing, and it’s probably not what you’d expect.
During an interview for Variety done by Black Monday’s Regina Hall, Emilia was asked if she ever took anything from the set of the show and it turns out she never did!
Emilia said, “I didn’t take anything, and I deeply regret it, and I’m very annoyed. I’m really hoping that the showrunners give me a dragon. I need my smelly socks. I think I did take those.”
After starring on the show for almost ten years and pretty much all of her 20s, she never took anything from set?!
Surely the showrunners should give her something, maybe one of Daenerys’ rings or the crimson cape?
“Having it come to its completion feels utterly surreal. So much life has happened in the 10 years that I’ve been on the show. I’ve grown into a woman. I was 23. It’s been almost a year in post, and it’s taken me that long to come to terms with it. Where are my dragons? That famous line. Where the hell are they? It felt deeply emotional.”
While she may not have taken anything from set, Emilia does have something to commemorate her time on the show. The star has a tattoo of three tiny dragons on her wrist which she had done after the show finished shooting.
Other GoT stars made sure to take some kind of memento from the show with Jason Momoa revealing to Entertainment Weekly he took the tongue and throat that Khal Drogo ripped from an aggravated member of his khalasar.
He said, “I’m a big fan of taking the things that I worked with. So I have the souvenir of the tongue and the throat. That’s just on my desk.”
Meanwhile, Kit Harington kept the Jon Snow statue from the Winterfell crypts, while Maisie Williams kept Arya’s brown jacket.
Who knows, maybe Emilia will receive a different kind of keepsake for her time on Game of Thrones in the shape of an Emmy? We’ll find out next month when nominations are announced.
