Jason Momoa protected Emilia Clarke during gratuitous sex scenes: "He was like, 'No, sweetie, this isn't okay'"

Emilia Clarke credits her "Game of Thrones" co-star Jason Momoa for helping her navigate the discomfort of on-screen nudity and potentially-gratuitous sex scenes.

Clarke was 23 when she first began working on the HBO series, "and I have no idea what I'm doing ... I'd been on a film set twice before then, and now I'm on a film set completely naked with all of these people," she said on Armchair Expert, recalling season 1 of the series. Her character's first sex scene is more like a rape; subsequent episodes showcase less unsettling, but still quite graphic, sex scenes with Khal Drogo, played by Jason Momoa.

While working on the more disturbing scenes, "he was crying more than I was!" Clarke said of Momoa. "He took care of me in an environment, I didn't know I need to be taken care of ... He was so kind and considerate and cared about me as a human being."

Clarke says Momoa set the standard for acceptable on-set behavior, advocating for her before she felt capable of standing up for herself. Between takes or after scenes would wrap, she remembers him repeatedly calling over to the crew, "Could we get her a f--king robe? Could we get her a goddamn robe? She's shivering!"

That first season "was definitely hard. Which is why the scenes, when I got to do them with Jason, were wonderful, because he was like, 'No, sweetie, this isn't okay.'"

Now a decade older, Clarke says she's learned how to push back against filmmakers who insist on nude scenes that go beyond what makes sense for a role. Some have attempted to sway her by saying, "'You don't want to disappoint your 'Game of Thrones' fans.' And I'm like, 'f--k you,'" Clarke said.

Momoa's role on the HBO series didn't extend beyond season 1 (save for a few references in season 2), and "Aquaman" has made him a bonafide movie star.

In fact, both Momoa and Clarke have mostly focused on films since finishing up their time on "Game of Thrones." Clarke stars in "Last Christmas," in theaters now, and Momoa will star alongside Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac and more famous faces in the upcoming sci-fi epic "Dune."

If you know anything about Jason Momoa R9, you'll know that he was always an activist.

That's why he and Lisa Bonet are such a good match. They're both modern day hippies.

If it was some other actor, I'd agree with you. But not Jason.

Also, Emilia Clarke was telling the story, not Jason himself.

A lot of actors careers stall if they decide not to do nudity. Almost every Oscar winning actress has done a nude scene. What I don't get is if you have already gone through the trouble to show off your tits or ass on screen, then just own it. If you complain about it, you might as well have not done it at all.

The way he called her “sweetie” and other pet nicknames despite being a coworker is creepy, especially considering they were playing lovers and he’s twice her size. And as much as I love Emilia, I doubt she would’ve signed on if she had a problem with nudity. It’s HBO, not a disney film, nudity was most definitely included in her contract. But it’s whatever, these GOT actors and actresses can trash the show all they want now that it’s over, it won’t save their careers from returning to the non-existence they were in before the show got big. Emilia’s claim to fame was doing films for The Asylum, Kit’s claim to fame was being in a direct-to-dvd Silent Hill sequel, etc etc. They owe everything to Game Of Thrones. If they want to bitch and moan, that’s fine, but it won’t do their already struggling careers any favors.

They both sound exhausting, entitled and self-obsessed (with their own actors' clique). So it's "acceptable onset behavior" for C-level no-name actors (as they were back then in Season 1) to shout swear-words at the crew and 'underlings'? That sure doesn't sound "kind" or "considerate" to the crew.

I bet if he simply asked: "Can you PLEASE find a robe?" - the crew would help all the same.

What makes it even more ironic is that the Wardrobe & Styling team is usually staffed by many female workers. So basically Momoa was likely shouting profanities at, and bossing around, OTHER WOMEN (who were paid far less than Clarke) - just to please Clarke. How "feminist" of him, lol.

What's the shabby treatment?

Was it some "SECRET" that this was a show with nudity and sex scenes? How did you think it was made? As a documentary?

And how did Clarke -- and the complete fake Momoa -- not know about the nudity and sex before filming? Anyone who knows production also knows that they will make it quite clear to an actor ahead of time -- usually when content agents for auditions -- that nudity, sex and violence will be involved in a specific role.

This is all a bunch of bullshit.

R34 she doesn’t say she didn’t know there would be nudity on GoT, though, she says she wasn’t given a robe to cover herself between takes.

As for the “you don’t want to disappoint your GoT fans” line, I read it as other directors pressuring her to do nude scenes arguing that she has already shown it all on GoT, which is bullshit.

And btw even if nudity and sex scenes are negotiated well in advance, it still is a power issue. Some actresses with more power can get away with a no nudity clause like SJP, or a double for the nude scenes like Lena Headey, but Emilia was an unknown. Didn’t she say that prior to GoT her major acting job was a fairy at children parties or something.

Most things are negotiated through power. How much you get paid. What type of role you can get. How many demands you can make.

Nudity falls under that standard as well. But the idea that there was something "wrong" with sex and nudity is asinine. She was eager for the role and took it.

The fact that she didn't like certain elements of that role is not some great tragedy. It's a narcissistic, dull point on her part. And asinine on yours to perpetuate and pursue it.

But it fits in well with the #metoo zeitgeist: a whore will fuck Harvey in any way he wants, for a price. But years later they act as if it was "abuse". It was a quid pro quo: fame for whoring, of course. But now that is a crime. Funny, how the women aren't prosecuted for prostitution.

Your Frau "logic" -- 'it was something she didn't want to do, and she had to, waaah' -- is very tiresome. If it was too much for her, she could have refused the role. Maybe she should have. If she had refused it, what would her life be like now? You think anyone would care about her enough to even listen to this boring, illogical story?

She's a lousy actress. And this is one of her worst performances: another "victim".

But remember this: most people take jobs that involve things they'd rather not do. That's the state of most working actors. It is not abuse, particularly when you're told -- LEGALLY -- what is expected of you in the audition and in the contract.

Quit pretending we're living in some puritan age. If women are this delicate, then at some point society will cease to function, because the same women that can't handle nudity/sex/violence or responsibility for their actions, are also the women most likely to loudly DEMAND more responsibility and power in our society. Power over our society.

With power comes responsibility, as Stan Lee would say. But he was just another man that abused women...that were supposed to be his caregivers. At the age of 90+. Yet another example of the #metoo lie, and how abusive women can be within it.

Why must every fucking thing be a conspiracy theory? Even something like not giving her a robe must be put through some stupid conduit of idiocy where some moron comes along and proclaims it IMPOSSIBLE because he knows someone who worked wherever and then others agree.

This isn't hard to believe at all when you're a lower rung performer and also with the million other things going on on the set, they're not thinking about her well-being. They're thinking about the shot and the lighting and the scene itself. Hollywood doesn't cater to you unless you've actually made it.

Let's put things in logical perspective. 1) you think that Clarke being asked to do a job she agreed to, contractually, is some form of "abuse" and "unprofessional", and 2) that professional sets have no standards as far as how the talent is treated; you actually believe that they had her walk from her trailer, NAKED, to the set. Because you want to believe this moronic story she's crafted.

Further, you somehow think that a story of Momoa "protecting" her and calling her pet names is perfectly fine, even though that's the most unprofessional element here. Why? Not hard to understand: because he's a good looking guy.

Again, Frau "logic". 'He's hot, and makes me feel things, so...it's OKAY!'

All women are being "creeped out" when they're pushed to defend a position logically. Hilarious. Completely predictable.

Also, note this: she complains about how many posts are made by a single poster, while she continues to obsessively reply on this subject herself. Hypocrisy is a bitch. And hers agains shows her lack of logic.

Well I believe her, because "GoT" has been described as "a dumpster fire behind the scenes", and the fact is, most jobs have some aspect that sucks, and the fact that you've agreed to do a shitty job in exchange for pay or the hope of future opportunities doesn't make the suckage go away, or absolve the employer from a responsibility to provide decent working conditions. I've been on jobs where I've been exposed to toxic chemicals or crazy dangerous people, which I took because lots of other jobs involve wading through sewage or being sprayed with pesticides or worse. Because if the choice is between a bad job, a worse job, or unemployment, then people take the bad job, but that still doesn't mean I need to be grateful for the shittier aspects of being employed.

Jason’s the one I have a problem with. What he was doing sounds MASSIVELY predatory, it reeks of calculation. If he was really trying to look out for her and make sure she wasn’t being taken advantage of, and if he was trying to maintain an air of professionalism, he wouldn’t be calling her weird pet nicknames like “sweetie”.

But, of course, I’ll probably get attacked for speaking on the valid point that it’s usually the guys trying to “protect” the young ingénues in sets that are the pervy ones, and Jason and Emilia will be made out to be heroes for speaking out against the evil tv show that saved both of them from doing Walmart commercials for the rest of their lives.

It's not like Jason wasn't working before he landed GOT.

[quote] Well I believe her

Lol, what do you "believe", R73? That Clarke marched around butt-naked from her Hair & Makeup trailer all the way to the Set, without a single coat or robe on? That's hilariously silly. Who do you think she is - Lady Godiva? :). Any actor doing nudity comes to the set with a coat / robe ON. So why was Momoa barking orders at the (likely) female wardrobe stylists. He should've been barking at Clarke: "Where did you leave your "FUCKING", "GODDAMN" coat? Tell the crew where you left the coat you came in, so that they can bring it to you."

[quote] because "GoT" has been described as "a dumpster fire behind the scenes",

Who described it as a "dumpster fire"? GoT was a production of huge proportions - with a sea of main & supporting actors and extras (the pre-final Battle of the Bastards had 500 extras!) and expensive location shooting around Europe. So of course the crew would face some challenges in terms of logistics. A production of that massive scale (shoots abroad, a sea of extras) generally does. However, a "dumpster fire" is something like Liz Taylor's "Cleopatra" (which went way over-budget and had periods when the crew wasn't even [italic]paid[/italic] their salary) - now THAT is a "dumpster fire". GoT pales in comparison.

[quote] the fact that you've agreed to do a shitty job in exchange for pay or the hope of future opportunities doesn't make the suckage go away, or absolve the employer from a responsibility to provide decent working conditions. I've been on jobs where...

What are you even on about? How is Clarke's job "shitty" or “suckage”? What makes you think they didn't provide her with "decent working conditions" overall? You're projecting your own problems on the HBO set.

[quote] Because if the choice is between a bad job, a worse job, or unemployment, then people take the bad job, but that still doesn't mean I need to be grateful for the shittier aspects of being employed.

You mean a "bad job" that made Clarke a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE (despite having sub-par acting skills) and gave her (a C-level actor at best) name recognition and fame all across the PLANET? Lol, sure, how “bad”.

The irony is that Clarke seems to love to complain from a position of relative privilege. She begged her parents to send her to a ridiculously expensive boarding school (which costs ca. $50k per year!). But when her parents got her in - she suddenly declared that she “didn’t like it”.

Then she got into Drama Centre London (after being rejected from every other acting school - because she herself was “suckage”). That one school (part of the prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design and the alma mater of Fassbender, Tom Hardy, Colin Firth) kindly offered her a place (when another student had to drop out). But what does Clarke do? She now runs to the journos to bitch about the school who offered her a place and moans about how they “broke her down” (because she was not the “favourite” so she was offered less glamorous, cameo roles). It doesn’t seem to occur to Clarke that she wasn’t getting lead roles in student productions not because they wanted to “break her down” - but because she simply wasn’t that good.

Clarke is one of those people who manages to somehow complain about literally every golden opportunity that fell into her lap by pure luck ($50k-per-year school; place at a central London acting school (even though she wasn’t good enough and failed auditions); TV show that made her a famous multi-millionaire).

There's only two nude scenes that involved Mamoa. The wedding night scene and another in an interior tent.

Much ado...

She's rich. She got a golden opportunity and it rewarded her finely. Her career will never reach those heights again. Getting naked was her great talent.

R46 he fucked Rose McGowan on the Conan set.

I hate when actresses try to play the victim. You read the script and knew what it entailed. Now the show is done she'll happily shit on it after making millions.

That's not exactly true r8 the first Daenerys was replaced after they saw the pilot.

They replaced at least one other actor as well and rewrote the entire pilot.

Well r79 you can feel vindicated because life made sure to humble Emilia by giving her two brain aneurysms for which she underwent brain surgery while working on GOT.

That'll teach the little bitch eh?

r15, you are obviously a woman. He was calling her "sweetie" because he isn't actually her lover so that has no bearing on real life. She was naive and distressed on set. He was being a friend.

No r75 the two show runners/producers Weiss and Benioff are both considered shit in Hollywood at this point and no one cares about them. They showed what assholes they were in their last article about the show. They are hated by most of the fan base. The series is over, if there is any time to speak out, it's now.

By season three Emilia had declared she would do no more nudity, there were articles written about it. She did end up doing nudity again but I would bet they had to pay her a lot more to get it into the script.

R83, my coworker was getting her eyebrows done at Anastasia Beverly Hills, and Rose was next to her. She was talking to the aesthetician about it. The way it sounded was that they had one of those on-set only hookups and Rose had caught feelings, but Momoa will never leave his wife and kids.

I don't really care about this fight, but I do have to say that the only MEN who use the word "sweetie," are creepy straight guys, or bitchy gay guys.

So Jason must be one or the other.

I'm not "exercised", R92 - no need to project your own feelings on me. I was analytical, not emotional - there's a difference.

Keep telling yourself that, R95. There's spittle of outrage at Clarke's life and actions all over your post. She really pisses you off for some reason, but whatever. If you want to stroke out over an actress you don't know, knock yourself out.

Now I get it, R79! Clarke dated that guy at school you’d always wanted for yourself, and you’ve never forgiven her. How else to explain the fixation you have for her that makes you gush on with your vitriol. Sad.

How do you guys watch anything he's in? He's too fucking sexay hot for us to pay any attention to whatever stupid story line Hollywood is trying to feed us. C'mon....he is "He-Man Central". Even straight dudes prostrate themselves at his raw masculinity. He should just do nudes because no one is not thinking about what he looks like naked. And he's a hippy dippy bi boy so he would totally do it if we asked him nicely.

Jason was so much hotter, when he looked like a twink.

No he didn't, R99. Sure, he was a hot twink, but he's MUCH hotter as a grown man! Oooh, he radiates testosterone and masculinity and pure raw sex, at least on film. It can't be real, or he'd never get out of bed to act, but damn he's something to watch in the movies.
