Emilia Clarke, born on October 23, 1986, in London, England, grew up in Berkshire. Her father is a recording artist. At the tender age of three, Emilia attended her father's production of the musical Show Boat, which sparked her interest in acting.
Emilia Clarke rose to fame for her portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen, the iconic Mother of Dragons in the popular television series Game of Thrones. Despite the controversial final season in May 2019, her character will always hold a special place in the hearts of fans.
According to the UK's Daily Star, the 35-year-old actress is currently single and has had several relationships that have unfortunately come to an end. While the men Emilia has been involved with over the years have been talented individuals, none of them were her co-stars from Game of Thrones.
One notable relationship was with Seth MacFarlane, which lasted from 2012 to 2013 when Emilia was 25 and Seth was 39. However, the couple chose to keep their romance private, refraining from giving public interviews or making official statements. It is believed that the long-distance nature of their relationship, with Emilia in Europe and Seth in the US, may have contributed to their eventual break-up.
In addition to her role in Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke has also appeared in various genre films. These include Spike Island, an independent film where she portrayed the character of Sally in 2012. Her on-screen chemistry with co-star Gary Titchfield in the film captivated fans as they shared a passionate embrace.
Another noteworthy performance by Emilia was in the supernatural film The Sound of Stone. Her portrayal of a character who dedicates her life to art left a lasting impression on audiences.
