‘Game of Thrones’ star Emilia Clarke reveals she has undergone brain surgery

______________________________

The day before, 35-year-old Briton Emilia Clarke became a guest of the BBC1 morning broadcast, where, in a dialogue with the presenter Sophie Raworth, she frankly spoke about the terrible disease she faced in the early 2010s. The condition of the actress was so severe that both memory and even speech skills were at risk – in fact, the most necessary things in acting work.

The cause of concern was the aneurysm in the brain of the actress. In 2011, while filming the first season of Game of Thrones, Emilia suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by a sudden burst aneurysm. Later, in 2013, screening showed that there was another aneurysm, which was growing rapidly and needed urgent surgical intervention.

Imagine that part of my brain I just could not use, she said.

Now there are titanium plates in the actress’s skull, which in some patients can cause chronic fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, and even visual impairment. However, the side effects bypassed Emilia.

I can play for two and a half hours every night and not forget a line. I’ve always had a good memory because that’s the only skill you need to be an actor… Now I get checked regularly, she added.

Now Emilia is trying not to wind herself up and remains calm about her health.

It makes no sense to constantly puzzle over what could happen, because what you have now is great.

Emilia Clarke became famous for her role as the “Mother of Dragons” Daenerys Targaryen in the cult TV series “Game of Thrones”. At the end of the show in 2019, the actress took a break. A new role for herself – she played for the first time on the theater stage.In early July, the premiere of the play “The Seagull” by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov took place at the Harold Pinter Theater in the West End, London.Emilia plays one of the main roles – Nina Zarechnaya, the daughter of a wealthy landowner dreaming of becoming an actress.
