Emilia Clarke Unseen red carpet photos.

As Daenerys, Clarke is no stranger to traveling through foreign lands, often on foot. At the beginning of Thrones, she begins a long journey from the native land of the Dothraki warrior clan, located across the Narrow Sea from Westeros, in order to finally take back the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms. She gets turned around several times over, ending up in Slaver’s Bay and subsequently taking control of several slave cities before finally ending up in Westeros in the seventh season. Thanks to this storyline, Clarke herself has gotten to travel to several exotic filming locations over the years, including Croatia, Malta, Ireland, Iceland, and Spain, since Thrones is known for its international production and use of naturally beautiful filming locations.

Like her character, Clarke became a world traveler at a young age in real life. At just 16, she embarked on a backpacking trip through Northern India, continuing into Tibet, having made the journey to scatter the ashes of her Delhi-born grandmother. A few years later, she made a similar journey through Southeast Asia as well as South Africa, proving that she is just as adventurous as her signature character.

Thanks to her role on Thrones — a show notorious for plenty of nudity — Clarke isn’t exactly a novice to nude scenes, even racking up a few during the show’s first season. Clarke has said she doesn’t regret her nude scenes thus far, despite a few awkward moments, including one where she inadvertently sat down for an episode with her family that featured her in the buff quite prominently.
