New Delhi:
Actress Emilia Clarke had a fangirl moment she is going to cherish forever, courtesy actor Matt LeBlanc on an episode of
The Graham Norton Show aired on May 27. Meeting Joey from
F.R.I.E.N.D.S left Emilia blushing and giggling in a most un-Khaleesi manner.
Emilia, who was seated between the
F.R.I.E.N.D.S star and actors Kate Beckinsale and Dominic Cooper, admitted that she absolutely loves Mr LeBlanc and added: "I just think you're wicked."
Show host Graham Norton quipped: "Emilia Clarke loves Matt LeBlanc!"
When Mr Norton enquired if the
Game of Thrones actress chatted with Mr LeBlanc backstage, she could barely form a reply, alternately mumbling and blushing. Mr LeBlanc, now 48, confessed that he doesn't really follow Emilia's
Game of Thrones but promised his 'big fan' that he would indeed watch the show. Emilia's big moment arrived when she made a request and 'Joey' obliged.
'How you doin?,' said he. And this is what happened next:
Smooth, Daenerys, real smooth.
Emilia Clarke stars as 'mother of dragons' Daenerys Targaryen in popular fantasy series
Game of Thrones and her upcoming films include
Me For You and
Voice from the Stone.
