In an interview with The Big Issue magazine, Emilia Clarke, the actress who played Daenerys Targaryen in the popular HBO series GAME OF THRONES, shared her fears about the two aneurysms she had in her brain in 2011 and 2013. Clarke was worried that her illness would affect her career in GAME OF THRONES.

In the interview conducted with the British magazine The Big Issue, Clarke said that she was afraid of being fired from the series after her injury.

"When you have a brain injury, it changes your feelings to become dramatic, all the worries you experience at work increase fourfold overnight," Clarke said.

"The first fear we all have is 'Oh God, am I going to be fired? Am I going to be fired because they think I'm incapable of completing the job?" she added.

1. Better I Die Live on TV

Clarke told The Big Issue that he believed his illness was caused by stress and pressure while acting in front of many people. In an interview with The Big Issue magazine, Clarke also thought, 'Yes, if I am going to die, it is better for me to die while live on TV,'" he said.

Clarke also shared his feelings about not being able to continue amidst his brain injury. He admitted that he was very worried that his acting career would be ruined, so he asked medical staff to let him die.

2. Aneurysm Within Clarke

Clarke experienced her first aneurysm in 2011, which resulted in a stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage after filming the first season of 'GAME OF THRONES.' In an interview with the British magazine The Big Issue, Clarke explained that she couldn't remember her own name two weeks later.

"I suffer from a condition called aphasia, caused by the trauma my brain experienced," Clarke said.

'I asked medical staff to let me die. My job, my dreams of what will happen in my life, all revolve around language and communication. Without it, I am lost,' she added.

The aphasia she suffered from was only temporary. Clarke underwent a second surgery for the aneurysm in 2013.

3. Establishing a Brain Injury Recovery Charity

Clarke also established a charity named SameYou in 2019 with her mother, Jennifer. This charity focuses on helping brain injury survivors. SameYou does not work alone. They collaborate with Big Issue Recruit, a service created to assist individuals facing barriers in employment.

This collaboration aims to provide support for brain injury survivors so that they can recover and live a normal life again. SameYou and Big Issue Recruit share the same vision, which is to help those in need. This partnership is expected to have a positive impact on brain injury survivors.
