Emilia is the star of the upcoming Me Before You, out in cinemas on Friday June 3.

Wearing a most-un-Khaleesi-like blue hairnet, the clip begins with Emilia saying “This is for you!” to her fans. “Doing Me Before You meant I didn’t have to be continually proving myself in a man’s world, having to try and force people to listen to me”, she explains.

Clarke recently appeared on “The Graham Norton Show” where she couldn’t help but blush over her celebrity crush Matt LeBlanc, who was sitting next beside her. Although the 48-year-old “Friends” alum actor confessed that he stopped watching “Game of Thrones”, after its freshman run, she overlooked it. Then basically [Emilia] went back to her room, found it, and then hid it in my bag so when I got home I saw it and thought, ‘I did steal the doll’. A petition has even been started to get Anderson to be the next Bond.

Me Before You is a serious film despite its light moments.

‘A ideal day in my normal life is just being with my friends (such as Game of Thrones costars Kit Harington, his girlfriend Rose Leslie, and Natalie Dormer) and family and being super low-key, ‘ she said. She walked out of the burning remnants completely in the nude and wowed the Dothraki who had been waiting outside to learn what Dany’s fate would be.

“I have a lot of unrealized dreams”. “All I needed was vodka and some flattering lighting and I was ready”, she said.
