Anyone who who watched Kristen Wiig try to impersonate Daenerys Targaryen on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week thought it was hilarious, and so did the actress who actually plays the character on Game of Thrones.
After Wiig’s appearance, Emilia Clarke posted a picture of herself laughing at Wiig. She also gave a nice shout-out to Wiig’s new movie, Welcome To Me.
“Kristin [sic] wiig? I LOVE HER! #meat,rawmeat #jimmyfallonforever book me my ticket for 'welcome to me' please,” Clarke wrote.
Wiig’s impersonation of Khaleesi had started out with an attempt at Clarke’s accent, but the former Saturday Night Live star quickly gave up on that. As Danys, she said that she had bumped into Wiig on the plane to New York and loves her.
Why didn’t she take a dragon to New York?
“There’s a whole thing at the airport of like... landing and we didn’t have space,” she said. “America!”
Here’s Clarke’s reaction:
