Emilia Clarke Clarifies Her Position on Sex Scenes: "I'm Perfectly Fine with It"

Emilia Clarke says she was misquoted about hating her sex scenes on Game of Thrones.

In a lengthy Instagram post Wednesday, Clarke clarified her position, saying: "In drama, if a nude scene forwards a story or is shot in a way that adds insight into characters, I'm perfectly fine with it. Sometimes explicit scenes are required and make sense for the character/story, as they do in Westeros."

Clarke was responding to a report in Britain's Daily Mailthis week that quoted her as saying she "can't stand" filming sex scenes and believes the nudity in Game of Thrones "should be more subtle."

According to Clarke's Instagram post, she was "quoted entirely out of context for an outlet I didn't agree to speak with." Added Clarke: "If it's gratuitous for gratuitous sake, then I will discuss with a director on how to make it more subtle. In either case, like a good Mother of Dragons, I'm always in control."
