The talented actress is more than just that one role, however.
There was another famous female character from a book that Clarke almost portrayed that you may find pretty shocking.
The role ultimately went toDakota Johnson.

“Well, Sam [Taylor-Johnson, the director] is a magician.
I love her, and I thought her vision was beautiful.
Throughout theGame of Thronesseries, Clarke says she was inundated with questions about her decision to appear nude.

At the time the scene came out, she spoke toEntertainment Weeklyabout the nudity.
“That was a while ago.
It’s now season 6.
But this is all me, all proud, all strong.
I’m just feeling genuinely happy I said, ‘Yes.’
That ain’t no body double!”
