Game of Thrones actor Emilia Clarke praises the show for balance of nudity

Actor Emilia Clarke has praised Game Of Thrones for its balance of male and female nudity. She has starred as the powerful Daenerys Targaryen on the hit HBO series for seven years.

In an interview to US Glamour, Clarke revealed why she thinks Game Of Thrones is so popular with both men and women, amid the industry’s recent inequality scandal, reports dailymail.co.uk.

The actor, 31, praised the series for showing both male and female nudity — and claimed the show’s depiction of power struggles is what makes it so appealing to women.

Clarke reflected on why her love interest Khal Drogo was not exposed on-screen, while her character stripped fully naked.

First joking of her co-star Jason Mamoa’s manhood, she said, “Oh, I did. I saw his member, but it was covered in a pink fluffy sock. Showing it would make people feel bad. It’s too fabulous.”

However, she went on to praise the show’s equal amounts of male and female nudity by recalling one moment which saw another of her love interests strip for the camera.

She added, “No, I don’t know why. But I’d like to bring your memory back to Mr. Michiel Huisman and I copulating for the first time, which began with me saying, ‘Take off your clothes’, and then you got to see his perfect bottom.”

Her comments come amid a time of unrest in Hollywood, following the emergence of the Harvey Weinstein scandal last year. Reflecting on this, Clarke expressed her delight that so many women are fans of “Game Of Thrones” — which she believes is due to its gender-balanced story lines.

She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team.
