Emilia Clarke on Being a Woman in Hollywood: 'I Do Get Treated Differently'

Emilia Clarke gets her close up on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine’s new issue.

Here’s what the 30-year-old Game of Thrones star had to share with the mag:

On being treated differently than male co-stars: “I feel so naive for saying it, but it’s like dealing with racism. You’re aware of it, and you’re aware of it, but one day, you go, ‘Oh, my God, it’s everywhere!’ Like you suddenly wake up to it and you go, ‘Wait a f*cking second, are you . . . are you treating me different because I’ve got a pair of t*ts? Is that actually happening?’ It took me a really long time to see that I do get treated differently. But I look around, and that’s my daily life.”

On her ultimate goal: “I would love to start a production company that was just full of nice, funny women.”

On her role in the Star Wars Han Solo movie: “All I can say is that she’s awesome. Like, legit, that’s all I can actually get away with saying. There’s a stormtrooper with a gun, and he’s going to come walking in any second.”
