Emilia Clarke is a British actress who became a household name after her portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. Her performance as the Mother of Dragons earned her critical acclaim and legions of fans worldwide. However, rumors have circulated that Clarke wanted to play Jon Snow instead of Daenerys. So, did Emilia Clarke ever want to play Jon Snow in Game of Thrones?
The answer is both yes and no. In interviews, Emilia Clarke has expressed her admiration for the character of Jon Snow and the actor who plays him, Kit Harington. She has said that she loves the way Kit portrays Jon Snow and the chemistry they share on screen. However, Clarke has also stated that she is grateful for the opportunity to play Daenerys Targaryen and wouldn't trade it for anything.
It's important to note that Emilia Clarke was not the first choice to play Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. The role was originally offered to Tamzin Merchant, who filmed a pilot episode before being replaced by Clarke. In an interview with The Guardian, Merchant stated that she was "heartbroken" when she was replaced but acknowledged that it was for the best. She said that Emilia Clarke was "brilliant" in the role and deserved all the success that came her way.
Despite not getting the chance to play Jon Snow, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington developed a close friendship during their time on Game of Thrones. The two actors have spoken openly about their bond and the emotional impact that filming the final season had on them. In an interview with Esquire, Harington described Clarke as "one of my best friends" and said that he would "miss her enormously" after the show ended.
While Emilia Clarke may have admired Jon Snow and Kit Harington's portrayal of the character, she was ultimately grateful for the opportunity to play Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. The show's success would not have been possible without Clarke's outstanding performance as the Mother of Dragons. Even though she did not get the chance to play Jon Snow, Clarke developed a close friendship with Kit Harington, and their on-screen chemistry was one of the highlights of the show.
