Emilia Clarke & Henry Golding Reveal What Happened When They First Met!

Emilia Clarke shares a laugh with Last Christmas co-star Henry Golding while participating in a SiriusXM Town Hall for their movie on Tuesday (October 29) in New York City.

The actors were joined by co-star and the film’s co-writer Emma Thompson, as well as director Paul Feig and co-writer Greg Wise, who is married to Emma in real life.

During the panel, Emilia and Henry talked about the first time they met in person. While Henry was expecting her to be like Khaleesi from Game of Thrones, she was actually sick that day.

“When I first met Henry.. yeah I was a sniveling ball of illness cause when you’ve been doing a show for ten years, what happens when you stop is you then get shingles and fever at the same time,” Emilia said. He added, “It’s the most amazing first meeting because I am expecting the queen of dragons.”

“It’s just myself, Emilia and Paul, doing sort of a table read and I’m like ‘oh man I am really excited’ because I am a massive fan of Game of Thrones obviously, and I get there and this poor little girl is like ‘Hi, I’m Emilia‘ [laughs],” Henry added. “I love her so much more because she was human and that goes back to saying that is what we yearn for to be who we are. I saw Emilia at her kind of who she is.”

FYI: Emilia is wearing an AKNVAS outfit and Christian Louboutin shoes with Jemma Wynne earrings.
