Los Angeles:'Game of Thrones'' actress Emilia Clarke has revealed she's had two life-threatening aneurysms, and two brain surgeries, since the show began.
In a first-person story Thursday in The New Yorker , Clarke said she had been healthy all her life when she had the first aneurysm in 2011 at age 24 while working out at a London gym.
An unknown actress before landing the role, Clarke says she had just finished filming her first season as Daenerys Targaryen, the 'Mother of Dragons', on the HBO fantasy series and was suffering from serious stress. She was unable to speak her full name even weeks later.
The second surgery came after Clarke finished shooting the third season. She again feared she might lose cognitive ability even if she survived, but she recovered fully.
Coming back to GOT, Emilia has promised "shocking" chapters in the final season of the hit fantasy series which will come to an end later this year with season eight hitting screens in April.
