Emilia Clarke, best known for her role as Khaleesi on Game of Thrones, revealed she turned down playing Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey.
Clarke gets nude often in GoT, so it was the film’s sexual nature that made her turn it down.
“I'd done nudity before and was concerned with being labeled for doing it again," she told The Hollwood Reporter.
Though she did miss out on the success Dakota Johnson has received for the film, it doesn’t matter to Clarke. She’s still riding the tidal wave of her hit HBO show.
“Never in a million years did I think Game of Thrones was going to take off like it did," she said. "It's taken me five years to catch up with it. I'm still not sure I'm there."
Clarke said she has "no regrets" about turning it down. After all, she’s doing other films. She will next appear in Terminator Genysis.
