Emilia Clarke feels like she 'cheated death' after surviving two brain aneurysms.
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has opened up about her health scare.
Emilia Clarke felt like she "cheated death" after surviving two brain aneurysms.
The 39-year-old actress suffered aneurysms in 2011 and 2013, and Emilia has admitted to feeling haunted by the near-death experiences for a number of years.
The brunette beauty - who is best known for playing Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones between 2011 and 2019 - told Variety: "For a number of years, I felt that I had cheated death, and it was coming to get me. I truly felt like I had done something wrong, and I shouldn’t be here.
"I also thought it ruined my ability to act — which some people might agree with!"
Emilia starred in Game of Thrones alongside the likes of Sean Bean, Richard Madden, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie.
The TV show proved to be a worldwide hit, but Emilia has denied earning a reported salary of $300,000 per episode.
Reacting to the speculated numbers, Emilia said: "We didn’t earn that much. Can you imagine? I’d have been driving a couple of Porsches!"
