Summary
- Emilia Clarke often goes unrecognized, but that has changed as she becomes more famous.
- Emilia loves giving autographs and selfies to fans who ask nicely, but many heckle her for photos.
- She appreciates her fans but wants more respectful interactions.
Emilia Clarke often goes unrecognized when she is out in public due to her natural brown hair contrasting with the bright blonde that her Game of Thrones character had. However, the actress disclosed that when she is spotted, there are many instances in which the encounter is unpleasant.
Throughout the years, she has had to deal with the circumstances, but she often finds herself feeling uncomfortable and wishing the approach was done differently. The actress disclosed that there is a foolproof way to get her attention and get a personalized autograph and a moment of her time. However, many fans completely disrespect her during their interactions.
Heckling Is Problematic For Emilia Clarke
Emilia Clarke fans often rush her on the street, and not in a polite way
While it is understandable that some may feel a bit intimidated when approaching Emilia Clarke, especially after witnessing her powerful character, Danaerys Targaryen, on Game of Thrones, some take their anxiety a bit too far when they find themselves in the actress' presence.
Emilia Clarke alleged that many fans get so excited to see her out in public with them that they begin to heckle her and rush up to her with a camera in her face, prepped for a selfie.
Shouting out to her and yelling "Khaleesi" from across the road while trying to get her attention is bothersome to the actress, who dislikes the approach. She's also not a fan of fans who ask for a photo by saying "Oy give us a selfie."
Based on how she quoted her fans, it sounds like Emilia encounters the same heckling whether she's in the US or abroad.
While she often complies with the request, she often tells the approaching fan that the photo is likely not what they are hoping the image will be due to the rushed manner in which it was taken.
Although many fans are just grateful to have gotten a picture at all, some do take the time to listen to what the star has to say and sympathize with her situation.
Emilia Doesn't Mind Meeting Fans...
Emilia loves and appreciates her fans, but would like a bit of respect
Emilia Clarke explained that encountering fans isn't always enjoyable, and she wishes that they would be a bit more respectful when approaching her on the street. Of course, there was a time when no one recognized Emilia, thanks to her very-blonde wig (and, later, dyed hair) on GoT.
But that all changed as Emilia became more famous, with or without her famous hair. That fame led to Emilia being approached on the street — which she has said she doesn't really mind.
Clarke quickly pointed out that she is grateful to all her fans and still takes the time to provide a picture or autograph for those who approach her, even those who heckle. Even with the constant intrusions, she knows that her success is attributed to those who admire her work, and she is appreciative of their support.
Although she shot to fame as a result of her role in Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke won't be returning to television screens to reprise the role of Khaleesi. Instead, she is focusing on other projects that pique her interest as they come her way.
With the change in work, she is attracting a different fan base who more easily recognize her on the street. Therefore, the requests for attention have ramped up, leaving the actress frustrated with handling it all.
Clarke Loves Fans Who Approach Her Nicely
Emilia is far more likely to give autographs and nice selfies to fans who ask kindly
As a powerful female actress in Hollywood, Emilia Clarke struggles with finding male co-stars who will respect her craft. She also doesn't want to deal with aggressive fans who rush her publicly to get a selfie or autograph. Instead, Emilia Clarke states that all she asks for is a kind request to be made in her direction and not forced onto her.
Emilia further iterates that a simple addition of "please" will make all the difference in the world. Asking for a photo with her before shoving your phone in her face will result in a much better image with a relaxed and happy look from the actress.
Coming her way and asking kindly for an autograph will ensure that you not only get her signature but also a personal note to go with it.
Whether you are a fan of Clarke's from her Game of Thrones days or her venture into the iconic Marvel movies, you stand a good chance of getting a personal note and autograph from the actress and a quality moment with her if you play your cards right.
Providing the actress with the respect she deserves and approaching her with kindness will result in a better outcome for both of you.
