Emilia Clarke in a still from Game of Thrones
London:
Actress Emilia Clarke, who plays the role of Daenerys Targaryen in hit TV show Game of Thrones rejected the lead role in the hit film Fifty Shades of Grey as she felt too much nudity in the film could have a negative impact on her career.
Emilia, 28, said she is not averse to nudity as she has been a part of mature content in the past but she thought doing Fifty Shades of Grey would stereotype her as an actress, reported Marie Claire.
"I really wanted to work with Sam Taylor-Johnson (director) because she is amazing. But there is a huge amount of nudity in the film. I'll never say, 'I'm never doing nudity,' because I've already done it, but I thought I might get stuck in a pigeonhole that I would have struggled to get out of," she said.
Fifty Shades of Grey eventually starred Dakota Johnson (in her debut) and Jamie Dornan, in lead roles.
