We continue to receive good news out of the Marvel and Disney+ camp. This week Marvel dropped the first trailer to their upcoming first Asian superhero movie, Shang Chi. And now, my two favorite franchises are getting a mashup, sort of. Emilia Clarke, Khaleesi from Game of Thrones, is joining the cast of Marvel and Disney+?s new project, Secret Invasion.
Secret Invasion will star Samuel L. Jackson (as Nick Fury), Ben Mendelsohn, Kingsley Ben-Adir (OMG hes gorgeous) and Emilia. Secret Invasion was a crossover comic about the secret Skrull invasion of Earth. The Skrulls are a shapeshifting alien race whose planet was destroyed by the Kree. The Captain Marvel movie gives several clues to what happened between the Kree (from the first Avengers) and the Skrull. Marvel (with their top secret plots and casting) are refusing to comment on Emilias role but I am sure it is epic.
Emilia also announced her three issue comic book M.O.M. (mother of madness) which is an image-heavy comic book that started off as a joke. You can find out more about it here at EW. Below are a few more details from Variety about Emilias role in Secret Invasion:
?Secret Invasion? was announced as a development property last year, one of Marvel?s many planned titles for Disney Plus. Jackson is reprising his MCU role of Nick Fury, while Mendelsohn will play the Skrull Talos as he did in the feature film ?Captain Marvel.? ?
The series is said to follow a group of shape-shifting aliens who have been infiltrating Earth for years. Ben-Adir has been set as the a main villain. Kyle Bradstreet is attached to write and executive produce. Kevin Feige?s unit is producing the series for the streamer, as it does all other MCU titles, including the hits ?WandaVision? and ?Falcon and the Winter Soldier.?
Clarke is a four-time Emmy nominee for her portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen on HBO?s global smash ?Game of Thrones,? which just celebrated the 10th anniversary of its premiere. She is also a multiple Critics Choice Award nominee and was the 2018 recipient of the BAFTA Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year. Clarke is an AMPAS member and was also noted as one of Time?s 100 Most Influential People. She is repped by Range Media Partners, CAA, Emptage Hallett, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller & Gellman.

I dont care what Emilia Clarke does in the Marvelverse, I am just stoked that she has joined the franchise. Emilia created a comic book that looks epic AND joined one of the most coveted comic book movie franchises. She makes baller moves. The only thing that irritates me about this announcement is that I have to wait god knows how long just to see a teaser trailer then the show.
Marvel and Disney+ are doing some amazing work. I have enjoyed WandaVision and Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Both shows have had incredible writing and action sequences. Something tells me that Secret Invasion will be just as good.
Besides nabbing Emilia Clarke, Marvel was able to get Kingsley Ben-Adir who is next level gorgeous. Unfortunately he may be covered in blue or green makeup but thats ok. I am also wondering if Secret Invasion will be a sort of prequel or addition to Captain Marvel or Doctor Strange. I am just excited to have Emilia in my favorite comic book universe. In the meantime, I am looking forward to her comic book, which is coming in July.

Matt Smith?s appeal, to me, is comparable to Benedict Cumberbatch?s appeal. They are objectively weird-looking and not-traditionally handsome dudes, and yet something about their talent and the way they carry themselves is very sexy and appealing. Matt Smith seems more like a ?ladies? man? than Benedict though Matt seems to have a series of on-set love affairs which turned into real relationships. He had a years-long, serious, live-in relationship with Lily James, and it ended last year at some point, amid rumors that he was quite close (perhaps even romantically involved) with his Crown costar Claire Foy (who had recently split with her partner). Now it looks like he might be involved with another former costar: Emilia Clarke. Damn!
The Crown met The Throne as stars of two of the biggest international TV hits enjoyed a night out together in London. Matt Smith, who played Prince Philip in The Crown, spent the evening with Emilia Clarke, Princess Daenerys Targaryen in Game Of Thrones, sparking speculation of romance.
The pair ? who appeared together in the 2015 movie Terminator: Genisys ? were all smiles as they sauntered through Soho together on Friday night after enjoying dinner at the Russian-inspired Bob Bob Ricard restaurant. He split from actress Lily James nine months ago, having previously dated model Daisy Lowe, the daughter of rock star Gavin Rossdale.
[From The Daily Mail]
I think it?s possible that Matt and Emilia are happening as far as I know, she?s single following her split with Charlie McDowall last year (Charlie is also Rooney Mara?s ex, Rooney dumped him for Joaquin Phoenix). Matt is single too, if we believe that his thing with Claire Foy was just a friendship which may have briefly gotten way too close. I?ve also long believed that the British acting world is just super-small and they all date one another at some point. Of course, Matt and Emilia could just be friends. Who knows. But I wouldn?t hate them together!

We?re about one year past the final season of Game of Thrones. We were so excited, do you remember? We all had such expectations for it, for how they would end this cultural phenomenon. I legitimately believe the expectations were impossibly high and that there was no way the show could meet those expectations. But they didn?t even really try. The scripts of the final season were half-assed, misogynistic and poorly done. The ending hinged on a handful of dudes talking amongst themselves and basically saying ?this bitch is crazy, right? Right.? And because those bros convinced themselves that the bitch was crazy, they got a man who loved Daenerys to kill her. I get why so many of the GoT actors have issues with just saying it outright, that the last season was terrible and the exact opposite of fan-service, but damn, it would help me if just *one* of the major actors was like ?it was so bad.? Instead, Emilia Clarke is basically just saying words:
Nearly ten months after the series finale of Game of Thrones aired, star Emilia Clarke still isnt too happy about the ending. Her beloved character, Daenerys Targaryen, was murdered by her aunt (and once lover) Jon Snow (Kit Harington), which annoyed her, as she told The Times in a wide-ranging interview as she gets ready for her West End play The Seagull.
Yeah, I felt for her. I really felt for her. And yeah, was I annoyed that Jon Snow didn?t have to deal with something? He got away with murder ? literally, Clarke said.
Clarke had known the ending for years, revealing that when the show finally did come to a close, it felt like coming out of a bunker. Everything felt really strange.
I knew how I felt when I first read it, and I tried, at every turn, not to consider too much what other people might say, but I did always consider what the fans might think ? because we did it for them, and they were the ones who made us successful, so ? it?s just polite, isn?t it? Clarke added.
The actress added that the global temperature, referring to the glut of horrific news were bombarded with daily helps, explain the enormity of the fans outrage.
Because people are going, finally, here?s something I can actually see and understand and get some control back over and then when that turns, and you don?t like what they?ve done, she added.
When asked if she was mad that Daenerys didnt get a happy ending, she admitted that she was, but added that the show was a gift for her as an actor.
Aside from the ending, many fans criticized the final season since it was just six episodes, while the first five seasons came in at 10 episodes apiece. We could have spun it out for a little longer, Clarke admitted, while adding the show could have used more dialogue. It was all about the set pieces. I think the sensational nature of the show was, possibly, given a huge amount of airtime because that?s what makes sense, she said.
[From The Daily Mail]
Again, I don?t blame the actors. By the final season, the last actors standing were doing a great job? except for maybe Peter Dinklage, whose face belied the fact that he had mentally checked out months beforehand. Emilia did a good job with what she was given. The problem was always with what she was given. And yes, Jon Snow got away with murder! The dudes of the show got away with all kinds of horrific sh-t and they survived but somehow Jon Snow?s punishment is a vague exile and Dany gets murdered for doing what all of the dude rulers had done before her. SMH, this totally was about dude bros punishing a lady with power.

Emilia Clarke was in a low cut tight-fitting spaghetti strap Schiaparelli which was sporty and sexy at the same time. I like the bodice as its unique looking and I feel like I would wear it. There are these sparkly lines on the gown that look like theyre supposed to outline her skeleton. That feature is very weird to me.
Gillian Anderson was in a simple and elegant black velvet strapless Camilla and Marc gown. Look at how elegantly this is styled. Shes wearing a floral cluster diamond necklace and matching bracelet and the whole look is just stunning.
Daisy Ridley was lovely in custom black Oscar de la Renta featuring a bandeau top and sheer ribbed fabric along one arm. I like the cutout in the middle and think this is a clever way to strategically expose and cover skin.

Whenever I see Emilia Clarke I think about how she so expertly told the story of her brain hemorrhages. She had two in between seasons of Game of Thrones, she easily could have died, and she had grueling recoveries with each. We never knew about it until she told her story, in her own words, in the most matter-of-fact yet compelling way. She has this sunny disposition and outlook that comes through in everything she does yet her writing was so crisp, well-told and didn?t veer toward syrupy optimism or maudlin navel-gazing. I was so impressed with how she framed that, and how she handled that period of her life. She then founded a charity to help other young people going through neurological disorders. Emilia does not get enough credit for that, because she?s just a wonderful person and doesn?t give us much to gossip about. That?s what came to mind when I read her interview with The Guardian. She?s still out there promoting Last Christmas, that weird romcom she?s in with Henry Golding. This interview is so damn deep that its hard to talk about, but Im going to try.
How her brain hemorrhage helped her perspective on life
?And yes, I?m at the point where I definitely think of the brain haemorrhage as a good thing Because I was never destined to be the ?young actor goes off the rails? type, up and down the gossip columns. And having a brain haemorrhage that coincided precisely with the beginning of my career and the beginning of a show that became something quite meaty, it gave me a perspective that I wouldn?t have had otherwise. I?m quite a resilient human being, so a parent dying and brain haemorrhages coinciding with success and people following you in the street and getting stalkers ? you?re just, like, ?Well let?s try and make something sensible of it?
?It was nerve-racking to share it, to be honest. It always is, when you make yourself vulnerable.? She waited so long to talk about it, because, ?I didn?t want people to think of me as? sick.?
She had brain hemorrhages in 2011 and 2013 and then lost her dad in 2016
?I finally got this feeling. As if, on a cellular level, I?d grown up. And it?s so bittersweet, because I was clinging on to that childlike optimism. Then, when I finally let it go, I realised that was actually quite a heavy backpack to be wearing. I felt like that at the Emmys, too, finally popping my head up from the bunker. It?s as if you can see the actual landscape that you?ve been living in this entire time from another perspective
?It can be perceived as such a feminine trait, can?t it ? the responsibility to ?put a smile on it?. And, and you feel like it?s a defeat if you give in and admit, ?Maybe it?s not going to be OK in the end.? But then, if you do, then you have an opportunity to go? ?and what if that?s all right?? Death is shit It?s really hard and grief is horrific, and yet it is completely and utterly guaranteed. No matter how much Silicon Valley boys want to prove to everyone it?s not. But the finality of death, the absolute certainty of it, I?ve realised, is such a tonic.?
?We don?t look at grief properly. I?m not talking about the random moments of completely overwhelming emotion, I?m pretty in control of that? there was only one time on set where I just physically couldn?t stop crying. It?s the other stuff that we don?t discuss ? the functional grief; when your worldview and your perspective on life and yourself changes irrevocably, forever.?
How she deals with grief
?By realising that there is a framework that life lives within, and knowing when you reach the edges of it. There?s that. And I try to use the shit feelings as opposed to just ?breathing through it?. It?s like putting my plastic in the recycling bin ? it might not do anything, but I should at least try. And then being an actor and having a production company, knowing that the greater understanding I have about life, the greater storyteller I can be. As an actor, you?re always observing ? no matter what trauma you?re going through, there?s a wee bit of your brain that?s like, ?Isn?t this fascinating???
She had many stalkers
Clarke was catapulted to extreme fame during a period when she nearly lost her mind. She started to find gifts outside her door, from one of many stalkers. One, she says, is extremely unwell, another extremely mean. ?The stalker stuff is just horrible because, as a single lady walking around town, I already feel like I?m being followed.?
These stalkers believe they?re having a relationship with her, ?which is confusing, because having a relationship with people I don?t know is a big part of what I signed up for. I care about what art does to people. But it carries with it a responsibility, and when you leave your front door you take that with you. And it?s a difficult path to navigate. Because sometimes,? and she?s talking about fans now, the line between the two often being blurred, ?you get grabbed physically and your instincts kick in. When you see shock being registered on someone else?s face, you?re like, ?Where?s the danger?? And then you realise, oh, it?s me ? I?m the danger.?
[From The Guardian]
That interview was amazing and I got teary at times. I like how she described how her entire worldview changed through these incredibly difficult events. Shes so matter-of-fact about the worst events of her life and about how she dealt with them. She worked through it, and realized her optimism was a kind of naivete that she needed to shed. She then came to the conclusion that she may as well hold on to it because the finality of life is funny too. Emilia has multiple horrible stalkers and thats got to be so scary yet she talks about it in a detached way that focuses on how her reactions affect her fans. She said, in a way, that going through these awful things has helped her become a better actress. I just admire her and this profile cemented that.

| | Emilia Clarke: Game of Thrones producers manipulated me into doing more nudity | | Added 4 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Emilia Clarke was naked a lot in Game of Thrones, the first season especially. In later seasons, Emilia?s character, Daenerys, would still drop trou, but often it would shot around her so nothing was really showing, or the brief nudity would be ?empowering? for Dany. But yeah, the first season was bad Emilia was constantly in a state of undress. I thought/hoped that was probably all contractual, and worked out with Emilia and her agents far in advance. Turns out, not so much. Emilia chatted with Dax Shepherd?s Armchair Expert podcast, which you can hear here. Emilia spoke about how she was basically pressured and manipulated by producers to do more nudity than her contract covered.
Emilia Clarke has revealed that she once refused to perform a nude scene on the set of a project, despite being told that it would ?disappoint? her Game of Thrones fans. While discussing on-screen nudity with Dax Shepard on his podcast Armchair Expert, the Last Christmas actor recalled being asked to perform a nude scene she hadn?t agreed to in advance.
?I?m a lot more savvy [now] with what I?m comfortable with, and what I am okay with doing,? she explained. ?I?ve had fights on set before where I?m like, ?No, the sheet stays up?, and they?re like, ?You don?t wanna disappoint your Game of Thrones fans?. And I?m like, ?F*** you.??
Clarke also revealed that she felt overwhelmed by what she described as the ?f*** ton of nudity? in the first season of Game of Thrones. ?I took the job and then they sent me the scripts and I was reading them, and I was, like, ?Oh, there?s the catch!?? she remembered. ?But I?d come fresh from drama school, and I approached [it] as a job ? if it?s in the script then it?s clearly needed, this is what this is and I?m gonna make sense of it? Everything?s gonna be cool.
She continued: ?So I came to terms with that beforehand, but then going in and doing it? I?m floating through this first season and I have no idea what I?m doing, I have no idea what any of this is. I?ve never been on a film set like this before, I?d been on a film set twice before then, and I?m now on a film set completely naked with all of these people, and I don?t know what I?m meant to do and I don?t know what?s expected of me, and I don?t know what you want and I don?t know what I want? Regardless of there being nudity or not, I would have spent that first season thinking I?m not worthy of requiring anything, I?m not worthy of needing anything at all Whatever I?m feeling is wrong, I?m gonna cry in the bathroom and then I?m gonna come back and we?re gonna do the scene and it?s gonna be completely fine.?
She went on to explain that it was only while working with Aquaman actor Jason Momoa, who played her on-screen love interest Khal Drogo, that she realised that she could set her own rules about how much of her body she was willing to show. ?It was definitely hard,? she said. ?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.? And I was like, ?Ohhhh.?
[From The Independent]
Big props to Jason Momoa for doing something to protect her and for telling her that?s not the way it?s supposed to work. Jason and Emilia are still very close, and I get the feeling that?s how it was from the start, that he was protective of her. Iain Glen was another one I remember interviews with him where he spoke about how green and inexperienced she was in the first season and how he would often try to figure out ways where Emilia would not have to be so naked in front of so many people on set. But yeah, GoT producers were gross and exploitative. We knew that. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss ruined all of it.
Also: I?ve been reading a lot of those actress-roundtable discussions and actor-on-actor series, and some of the actresses have been talking about the immediate changes they saw when #MeToo and Time?s Up started happening. Films have been hiring ?intimacy? coaches or various protective middlemen to come in whenever there is a sex scene or when an actor is nude, and the coach is there to tell the director what is and is not allowed contractually and to stand up for the actresses, etc. The actresses seem to like the protective measures being taken now, although clearly those practices are A) very recent and B) not widespread.

SPOILERS for Last Christmas.
For some reason, I didn?t even know that Last Christmas came out last Friday. I saw Emilia Clarke promoting the film everywhere, but I guess I just thought it was really advanced promotion, because why would you release a Christmas movie weeks before? Thanksgiving? Anyway, it seems like I wasn?t the only one sleeping on Last Christmas it debuted on the weekend box office at #4, which would have been a notable bomb except that Doctor Sleep also bombed and that?s the bigger story for box office analysts. Besides, the reviews of Last Christmas were bad-to-horrendous, so no one was surprised when the film didn?t do well.
Interestingly enough, one of the other reasons why the film got such an icy reception from film-goers and critics is because? people figured out the plot twist months ago, when we first saw the trailer. Truly, people on Twitter and in blog comment sections figured it out. If you don?t want to know the big ?twist,? stop reading now?
SPOILERS BELOW?
The big twist is that Emilia?s character, the recipient of a heart transplant, finds out that Henry Golding?s character is the ghost of a man who died and she has his heart. Most people figured out that he was a ghost in the very first fking trailer. But still, Emilia Clarke is mad that people are ?spoiling? the twist:
Emilia Clarke is so over spoilers. And we?re not even talking about Game of Thrones. The actress opened up to IndieWire about her irritation with the internet?s obsession with trying to guess the twist in Last Christmas. Fans began an elaborate guessing game almost as soon as the trailer debuted in August. ?It?s bloody annoying. Frustrating,? Clarke said. ?It?s more complicated than people are guessing.?
Clarke defends the twist, noting that there was great care and nuance put into building it into the script. ?Emma [Thompson] and Greg [Wise] wrote this script together, but they sent the script to all of their friends and it was only ready when their friends didn?t see the twist coming and couldn?t guess until it happens, so that?s where it comes from,? she told IndieWire. ?It?s just frustrating.?
?When it comes to signing petitions to reshoot the last season of a very popular TV show, or whether it?s spoiling a goddamn Christmas rom-com, people are able to do something about that,? she reflected to IndieWire. ?Our world?s literally on fire, so I think that there?s a lot of things outside of people?s control, so when it comes to this kind of stuff, they can do something with it and want to. It?s done with so much fervor, it?s done with a huge amount of energy and all that is, is misdirected energy.?
[From EW]
I like her for defending her movie and defending Emma Thompson and Greg Wise?s script. But? the first line of George Michael?s ?Last Christmas? is ?Last Christmas, I gave you my heart.? SPOILER. I mean, it?s not Emilia?s fault. But truly, 90% of us saw this coming.

This past spring, Emilia Clarke opened up about suffering two brain hemorrhages after filming wrapped on the first and third seasons of Game of Thrones. Emilia explained to Stephen Colbert, I genuinely knew I was being brain damaged. She spoke with People for their Kindness Issue about the support she received, including from EMTs and nurses:
In PEOPLE?s first-ever Kindness Issue, the Game of Thrones? actress opens up about her painful recovery journey since her 2011 and 2013 aneurysms ? and how she was able to overcome the difficult hurdles with the help of strangers and loved ones.
?It was a brain aneurysm that ruptured, and it was pretty traumatic,? Clarke, 33, says in this week?s issue. ?The paramedics were unbelievable. They?d given me drugs so I was in less pain, wrapped me up like a tortilla and made me laugh the whole way to the hospital. There I was, bleeding in the brain, and there we were in this ambulance having an absolute giggle. They were so gracious.?
In March, the Last Christmas star revealed she underwent two life-saving brain surgeries over the past eight years to correct two different aneurysm growths. Clarke?s health problems started in February 2011, shortly after wrapping filming on the first season of HBO?s hit series Game of Thrones.
Emilia heaped praise on her nurses:
?And every single nurse I came across was so kind,? Clarke says. ?It?s why I became ambassador to the Royal College of Nursing in 2018. Nurses are the unsung heroes, they?re at people?s most frightening moments.
?The whole experience inspired me to launch my charity SameYou,? she adds. ?People?s lives are transformed completely after a brain injury, and the core of our work is recovery ? it?s not just the first weeks that you need help, you still need help for years. I wanted to match someone with a consistent person who has the answers and can hold their hand and tell them that they?re not alone. Being there when someone is scared, confused or angry is one of the kindest things you can do.?
[From People]
Emilias experiences sound terrifying. I have a friend who survived an aneurysm, and it was a long road of recovery that they are grateful for every single day. I think its wonderful that Emilia is taking the time to thank the medical professionals who saved her life and took care of her. They are heroes who dont often get the recognition that they deserve. As Emilia said, her charity, SameYou, works to support and advocate for people who experience brain injuries. Im so glad that shes doing well, and that shes used her own experience as a way to pursue a project that is meaningful to her and that has the potential to help others and save lives.
Emilias comments about realizing that she was experiencing a brain injury reminded me of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylors Ted Talk about her stroke. Dr. Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist, recognized one morning that she was having a stroke, and was fascinated by the chance, as a scientist who studied the brain, to be able to pay attention to what was happening. I first saw her interviewed by Oprah eons ago, and her Ted Talk is worth a watch.

Everyone knew that the Best Drama Emmy would undoubtedly go to Game of Thrones for their final season. Even though the final season was controversial (and stupid), Emmy voters fell in love with the show and it?s fine. I was sad to see that Peter Dinklage was the only actor who won anything for GoT though. Maybe Emilia Clarke wasn?t the best actress at the start of the show, but by the end of it, she broke my heart all the time. Emilia wore this Valentino gown to GoT?s last Emmys. I saw Tom & Lorenzo call this look ?boob suspenders? and now I can?t get that out of my head. I honestly don?t mind this dress at all the color is gorgeous and she?s beautiful in it. The styling made it pop: those David Webb ?80s-style earrings were absolutely perfect. Her makeup was gorgeous too.
Gwendoline Christie wore this Gucci Jesus look and truly, we live in such bizarre times. Gwendoline has such an amazing and weird sense of style, I thought for sure she would choose some giant avant-garde ball gown or something. But instead we get Gucci?s high-fashion take on Jesus?s peasant robes. I?m also a little bit sad that Gwen didn?t win anything (ever) at the Emmys for her amazing performance as Brienne of Tarth.
This was Kit Harington?s first red carpet appearance since his detox and rehab stay just after Game of Thrones ended this year. He looked good, I thought. He looked healthy and sober. I do think it?s interesting that his wife Rose Leslie didn?t join him though.

The Emmy nominations will be coming out in July, but I guess we?re probably in the ?voting? part of the process, which explains why the Hollywood Reporter did one of their ?roundtable? discussions with television?s leading ladies. Included in this year?s Emmy roundtable: Emilia Clarke, Christine Baranski, Michelle Williams, Danai Gurira, Patricia Arquette and Niecy Nash. The entire piece is a good read full of interesting little stories and conversations, and as always, it felt like the women relish being able to sit down and talk to each other and commiserate about what?s happening in their industry. There were a few notable moments which I wanted to excerpt:
Patricia Arquette on the pressure to age a certain way: ?I was lucky enough to have success when I was young, and a lot of that was being an ingenue. And then as I was getting older, there was still this pressure to look a certain way. I had an argument with one of the producers on Medium, who told me I should lose weight. I was like, This lady is a mother, shes married, shes got three kids. No. But theres that expectation of being beautiful, of looking a certain way. Like, OK, you could be 40, but youve got to be a 40 who looks 30. So, when I started to work on Escape at Dannemora and then again with The Act, I definitely felt some pushback. [My people were scared] that Id lose work. And in fairness, theyll have those conversations. What does she look like now? Why dont you send us a picture of what she looks like right now?
Christine Baranski on who she does not want to play: ?Dont want to play a cranky old lady, dont want to play a bitch ? or a powerful woman who, because shes powerful, is a bitch. You know, all the stereotypes about older women. Nope.
Niecy Nash on who she doesn?t want to play: ?I dont want to be a sassy black anything. I dont want to be a sassy black mama, a sassy black neighbor or a sassy black friend. There are so many more notes to be played. And listen, broken is a delicious note to play on camera.
Emilia Clarke on saying no to Fifty Shades of Grey: ?Well, Sam [Taylor-Johnson, the director] is a magician. I love her, and I thought her vision was beautiful. But the last time that I was naked on camera on [Game of Thrones] was a long time ago, and yet it is the only question that I ever get asked because I am a woman. And its annoying as hell and Im sick and tired of it because I did it for the character ? I didnt do it so some guy could check out my t-ts, for Gods sake. So, that coming up, I was like, I cant. I did a minimal amount and Im pigeonholed for life, so me saying yes to that, where the entire thing is about sensuality and sex and being naked and all of that stuff, I was just like, No way am I going to voluntarily walk into that situation and then never be able to look someone in the eye and be like, No, you cant keep asking me this question.

I honestly forgot that Emilia was up for the role in Fifty Shades. She would have been an okay Anastasia, but having seen Dakota Johnson in the role? Dakota is totally fine too. The franchise?s problems were, in no particular order, Jamie Dornan being miscast and wooden, the sh-tty source material and EL James insisting on terrible things being included in the films. But yes, I can also see how Emilia would have been like ?no thank you? to a role which would have meant so much nudity and sexual situations. Also: the part with Patricia Arquette talking about how her agent and manager are asked about what she looks like now? wow, that?s fking awful.
