The one and only Khaleesi also happens to be the one and only Game of Thrones star that people don’t ever recognize in real life — and she has a lot of fun with that.

Game of Thrones used to be the biggest and most popular TV show on the planet, and even several years after its finale, it still has millions of fans all over the world. Many talented actors jumpstarted their careers on the set of Game of Thrones, including the main stars of the series — Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke who were virtually unknown before it.

Clarke plays perhaps the most essential character in Game of Thrones: Daenerys Targaryen, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. Throughout the show, Dany consistently gets her 15 minutes of screen time each episode solely thanks to the fact that half of that time is spent naming her endless titles — so yeah, she’s pretty central to Game of Thrones.

So, let’s keep this in mind: every Game of Thrones fan repeatedly sees Emilia Clarke on their screen with every single episode of the show. Check.

The fun part is that, according to Clarke herself, barely anyone recognizes her in real life! Sometimes, she can even walk with her co-stars and be asked to take a photo.

"I don't get recognized, truly. I'll be walking with Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, or Gwen, who plays Brienne of Tarth, and people will be like, ‘Can you take this picture for us?’ And I'm like, ‘Sure! Definitely, I can’,” the actress told Conan O'Brien.

Emilia Clarke has genuine fun when things like this happen, but sometimes, it gets even more ridiculous: when people start getting jealous about her being with her co-star. This used to happen especially often when she was with the Jon Snow actor and random girls would ask each other about “that girl” next to him.

Clarke admits that in situations like these, she sometimes wants to reveal who she is but never does. After all, among all the celebrities struggling with their publicity, she’s one of the few popular stars who can enjoy not being recognized all the time, and that’s a sweet bonus to her great paychecks and international love.
