Emilia Clarke will never Google herself again after reading that she’s a ‘fat bitch’
David Edwards I think the Mother of Dragons is so pretty! I know that’s not the most popular opinion – hating on Emilia Clarke seems to be the cool thing to do these days, but I think she does a decent job as Dany on Game of Thrones, and I find her very pretty and striking. Emilia covers the new issue of Marie Claire UK to promote not GoT, but her role as Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys. I’ve been avoiding watching the trailer but then I saw a TV ad for the movie and… nope. I’m out. I like Emilia but I don’t understand why they made this movie at all (I’ll include the trailer at the end of the post). Some highlights from MC UK:
Trolls hating on her appearance: “I remember when everything first kicked off, I Googled myself. You just do; it’s instinct. But never again. It just takes that one person who says, ‘She’s a fat bitch,’ and you’re like, ‘I’m a fat bitch!'”
Why she turned down the Ana Steele role in 50 Shades: “I really wanted to work with Sam Taylor-Johnson because she’s f–king amazing. But there is a huge amount of nudity in the film. I’ll never say ‘I’m never doing nudity,’ because I’ve already done it, but I thought I might get stuck in a pigeonhole that I would have struggled to get out of.”
She lifted weights to prepare for Terminator Genisys: “Those f–king guns are super heavy. You’re running with them a lot of the time, and I needed to keep up with/be better than the boys. I needed to know what to do to have Arnold go, ‘Very nice.” That was my goal.”
On her love life: “I kept thinking that for clarity of mind, I had to be in one place. And then I just realized that’s not how this life is going to work. It makes [dating] absolutely impossible. I’m soppy and I do like to believe that when the right person comes along, it will work, because you want to make it work. Everyone else seems to manage it.”
Who in the world thinks Emilia is fat? I don’t get the internet sometimes. I also wonder if Emilia should continue to claim that she was a major contender for Fifty Shades. I mean, I’m sure she had meetings and I’m sure she was considered, but it’s my understanding that the studio really liked Dakota Johnson very quickly after she auditioned and did a “chemistry test” with Charlie Hunnam.
Here’s the trailer… I do enjoy Jason Clarke, but this is still a NO.
