Emilia Clarke on nearly dying from life-threatening condition while filming Game Of Thrones

ACTRESS Emilia Clarke bares her soles and her soul as she opens up about her two brain haemorrhages.

The 37-year-old posed barefoot for pics for Harper’s Bazaar UK.

She had the haemorrhages in 2011 and 2013 while working on Game of Thrones.

Emilia said: “I wasn’t afraid of dying. I was afraid of being fired.”

“I decided: ‘This is not something that’s going to define me’.

“I never gave into any feeling of, ‘Why me? This sucks’.

“I was just like – gotta get back on it.”

On how it had changed her, she added: “If I hadn’t had a brain haemorrhage, I might have turned into a right old d***head, thinking I was the bee’s knees, living in Hollywood.

“I’m so much more aware of what’s happening.”
