15 Things You Didn't Know About Emilia Clarke

5. She Didn't Have To Eat An Actual Horse's Heart

During the first season, Game of Thrones fans were treated to the sight of Emilia Clarke tucking into an enormous horse's heart as part of a pregnancy ritual within the Dothraki tribe. Of course it was never going to be the real deal, but Clarke explained to Jimmy Kimmel what she was actually forced to eat: "They promised me that it would taste similar to a gummy bear and it definitely didn€™t. The best way to describe it is sort of a congealed jam kind of thing." "The fake blood is really really sticky, so I was covered head to toe in the fake blood and I'm continually sticking myself to myself, or to other things. There was a moment when we were filming that I disappeared, and I was stuck to the toilet."
