Emilia Clarke is recalling the pressure she endured to bare it all on Game of Thrones. The actress stopped by Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert this week to have a candid talk with the host.

During her first season on the HBO hit, Clarke felt coerced to repeatedly film nude scenes. Since she was a new and young actress, Clarke didn’t think she had the power to stand up for herself. She was only 23 years old when the hit drama began.

“I took the job and then they sent me the scripts and I was reading them, and I was like, ‘Oh, there’s the catch! But I’d come fresh from drama school and I approached it as a job, if it’s in the script then it’s clearly needed, this is what this is and I’m going to make sense of it. Everything’s going to be cool,” she shared with Shepard.

Shooting GOT was a challenging time for the talented star. Clarke told Shepard life on set was unbearable at times. The only way Clarke could deal with life on the HBO drama was to cry in the bathroom before her nude scenes.

“Whatever I’m feeling is wrong, I’m going to cry in the bathroom and then I’m going to come back and we’re going to do the scene and it’s going to be completely fine,” is what Clarke would say to herself before shooting those uncomfortable scenes.

The experience taught her a lot, including how to be more assertive when it comes to not doing something that makes her feel uncomfortable. Now as a 33-year-old, Clarke is not afraid to speak her mind.

“I’m a lot more savvy now with what I’m comfortable with, and what I am okay with doing. I’ve had fights onset before where I’m like, ‘No, the sheet stays up,’ and they’re like, ‘You don’t want to disappoint your Game of Thrones fans.’ And I’m like, ‘F-%$k you,” she expressed.

There was one person who stuck up for Clarke, her costar Jason Momoa. He not only took care of her but Momoa let Clarke know her feelings were valid. She will forever be thankful for the times she got to work with him, as well as the way he took care of her on the Game of Thrones set.

Emilia Clarke no longer feels pressure to take her clothes off for roles. She has learned to speak her mind and shut down anyone who tries to put her in an uncomfortable position.

Fans can catch her in the new film, The Last Christmas. It is in theaters now.

“We were not involved in any kind of law enforcement action. I can confirm we were not there.”

According to a report from the Los Angeles Times, Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night, in honor of Martin Scorsese, put on a parody skit in reference to the recent controversy surrounding Martin’s comments regarding comic book movies and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Not long before Mr. Martin took the stage, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host showed the skit, featuring a CGI version of Martin’s new film, The Irishman, except with its title changed to, “Irish Man.” Clearly, the title of the faux-movie was a play on The Irishman and the typical superhero name.

Before his audience, Kimmel recalled the industry squabble and reminded them of the comments that Mr. Martin said in an Empire interview in which he criticized comic book movies by stating they lacked particular cinematic qualities.

Kimmel said before the crowd that Martin believed the movies “weren’t cinema,” which made a lot of people in the industry mad. You can check out the YouTube video below to check out the faux-trailer for “Irish Man.”

As it was noted above, Martin sparked the ire of many people in the entertainment business when he stated that comic book movies failed to convey the human experience to other people. His comment was criticized heavily by directors, actors, and actresses alike.

Some of those critics included the maker of The Guardians Of The Galaxy franchise, James Gunn, who sat in the director’s chair for the first installment of the film, in addition to the second and third. Volume Three hasn’t been released yet.

And while Martin came under fire from many people who have worked in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some filmmakers agreed with him, including Francis Ford Coppola, the maker of perhaps one of the most legendary films of all time, The Godfather.

Francis Ford Coppola said comic book movies were “despicable,” after defending Martin Scorsese by stating that the director never even criticized them that severely. Samuel L. Jackson, as well, came out afterward and said that everybody has an opinion. Jackson added that not everybody in the world likes Martin Scorsese’s films either.

Jon Hamm is sparking romance rumors with Lindsay Shookus once again. A few months after Hamm was first spotted with Ben Affleck’s ex-girlfriend, the duo still appears to be going strong.

Shookus and Hamm were seen getting cozy following the Saturday Night Live taping this past weekend. Us Weekly was first to break the news the rumored couple had dinner at Le Chalet at L’Avenue at Saks in New York City.

The Mad Men alum was a guest on the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday night. Affleck’s ex-lady love is, of course, a producer for SNL.

“It did seem to be romantic between Jon Hamm and Lindsay Shookus. They sat next to each other and would touch each other affectionally throughout the night. However, there was no PDA,” an unnamed source shared with the weekly magazine.

So Lindsay Shookus dated Ben Affleck awhile ago and is now (allegedly) dating Jon Hamm. Talk about trading up!!! pic.twitter.com/5DWLNSejT4

They were not alone in their dinner though. Hamm and Shookus were joined on their night out by SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels. The source also revealed several other members from the NBC show were in attendance. It appeared to be an after-party celebration.

Hamm and Shookus’ night out in New York City comes months after they attended the opening night of Broadway’s show Derren Brown.

“Lindsay and Jon didn’t show much PDA, but there was definitely some flirtatious banter. Lindsay turned her head to talk to Jon before the show, during intermission, and after the show. She was always smiling and looked like she was enjoying her conversations with Jon,” an eye-witness shared with the weekly magazine at the time.

The duo did not walk the red carpet at the Derren Brown premiere. Hamm walked it alone, then met the blonde beauty inside the theater.

Before Shookus dated Affleck, there were reports Hamm and the producer were an item, back in 2017. However, his rep denied the rumors but has yet to comment on the new round of romance speculation.

John Hamm has been spotted spending time with Ben Affleck’s ex-girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus. Fans hoping to learn more about their relationship are going to disappointed. Both are extremely private when it comes to their personal lives.

The actor was with his former love, Jennifer Westfeldt for nearly 18-years before they split in 2015. Hamm did not like to speak publicly about their relationship. It is safe to say he will feel the same way about his rumored romance with Shookus.

According to a report from TMZ.com, the rapper, Tyga, definitely has a type of woman he likes to date. Previously, the outlet reported that the rapper drove away from WeHo on Saturday night in a red Ferrari alongside a girl who looks a lot like Kylie Jenner. Her name is Ana Beatriz Boaretto.

Tyga, on the other hand, has actually been spotted hanging around his ex on a number of occasions as well, including at Hyde Nightclub as well as at Sunset Strip. Additionally, they were seen together in Las Vegas near the final months of the summer.

There were rumors they were getting back together, however, Kylie quickly dispelled them, whereas Tyga has managed to let his behavior speak for him. As it was previously reported, Tyga and Kylie Jenner were linked for many years until they split and she started dating the Astroworld artist, Travis Scott.

Reportedly, they first met when the “Rack City” artist performed at Kendall Jenner’s sixteenth birthday party. As the story goes, Kylie, who was 14-years-old at the time, had a thing for the rapper when she spoke to him at the party.

Tyga was invited back in 2011 as well and an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians showed the reality star trying to flirt with him. Later on, in 2014, Tyga started to show up in the make up mogul’s IG posts, which there were a few at the time.

Following Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding, the reality star started hanging out with Tyga and some of his friends, including Trey Songz as well as Chris Brown. When Tyga and Blac Chyna eventually broke up, Kylie and the rapper started dating.

Supposedly, Tyga and Blac Chyna broke up as a consequence of the Kylie-Tyga dating rumors. At the time, Tyga denied everything and stated that he was just a friend of the family.
