No, I would love to have another concert. I would have gone to Oxford, but I decided to become an actor and take a lie

. I'm Cameron State. oh yes, he lives in my dream, do you consider yourself very British? Yes, is there any truth to the stereotype that British people have bad teeth? Yes, but I am the exception. I have great teeth. It's an absolutely winning thing I've got and it's all natural so I'm very lucky and I'm against the trend of Brits with bad teeth but yeah I mean in general just because we can honestly so yeah it's Right, what do you think of my British accent? bits there, governor, terrible, horrible, that really sounds exactly like an American accent, huh, I'll have to work on it, do you?

Yes, so you knew this person well. Yes, I do. I did it. I met the Royal Highness of him. knee yeah I don't think they asked me about you have to do everything you have to do you can't turn your back you have to bow you have to say Delhi he has his title HRH or something and I was just surprised I struggled with it , but I should have done it. I don't think he's ever seen my show. You played the piano, the flute and the guitar. I used to play the flute. Guitar. I can play very badly.

Just lack of patience. I think if he gave me a guitar now he wouldn't be able to play it and then the piano he wouldn't really, so if I put that on my CV, that was when I had um, I'll try to get a job, would you ever do anything? flute duet with this person oh yes, I knew you were going to give me my girl is our house, yes, the house to be, yes, I would love her a lot, but I saw her at Glastonbury and as if I lost, I went completely crazy for her and then she. pull out a flute, they are the most unexpected instruments, yes, for a pop star to bring them out, it's cool, it's amazing, many fans say your eyebrows have a life of their own, yes, would you agree with that statement?

Yeah, that's where I hate it. like I've seen myself in an emergency movie and what's the show, I keep them under control because I see clearly that I never, actually, you know, I have to worry about a lot of things, but in life I find it deeply inflating. I was like that once. I was in a doctor's office and I was trying to reschedule the appointment and this woman is being very serious like you are being right now and she's really trying to keep a straight face and she just couldn't couldn't keep it together she just kept laughing. and I thought: What's so funny about trying to change my two o'clock date to a Falkland Islands?

She says it's just your eyebrows. I can't, I can't look at them without laughing. Can you do the movement with your eyebrows? No, I think you got it right, yes, would you say that eyebrows are the window to your soul, yes, maybe yes, is it true that you speak English and Italian? I speak a pitiful amount of Italian, but your Italian is kind of better than your Dothraki well, um, yeah, probably yeah, some Dothraki I would make up, yeah, can you tell me how you really feel about me in Dothraki? No, because I don't remember the lines, they never gave us the language, they would just give me what to say.

I said what I was saying specifically in that scene so if I said something to someone in a truck it would just be remembering one line from the show so you just know the script yeah so Khoikhoi is my blood and that's it what I remember. eight year old people filming a show in Dothraki, that's right she's telling the truth, yes in the movie last Christmas you work in a Christmas shop, yes you think it's a bit silly to have a Christmas shop all year round , yes, yes, there definitely is? As you know, in department stores you have the Christmas section, which scares me, like who's doing that, who's getting something in a January sale, but doing it in April, why does that make any sense?

You're also dressed as an elf in the movie. Yes, it's my uniform working in the Christmas store. Would you say you are a more credible elf than this person? Yes, I was. I was quite methodical and took so much inspiration. from him as possible, yes, she was really inspired by Will Ferrel, that's questionable, sure, well, I tried, let's continue your career after drama school, you played Snow White at children's parties, yes, it was an experience nice, oh, it's terrible, it was, um, it was. One time we saw that he was part of a catering company because when you work in catering you can solve your auditions that at that time did not exist and this was for a really bougie business Christmas party, so all the adults went and had a party Christmas and then they had all their children, all their very rich and spoiled children, it was like a playland that was tricked out with all these Disney characters and I played Snow White in that.

No, it was just terrible, yes, would you say that you are the most beautiful of all on that particular day? Probably yes, that gig appeared on your resume when you auditioned for Game of Thrones. No, I didn't know that at all. Yes, I understand. to the concert, yes, at children's parties, no way, I didn't think they were conducive to my next job, it's my first job, so you weren't proud of that, no, you starred in such a low Star Wars story, right, yeah Have you seen them all? from the Star Wars movies No, do you remember the name of the second Star Wars movie in the original trilogy?

No, I can't, it's the Empire. The Empire Strikes Back. Let's redo that. Can you remember the second original French Empire movie? She's telling the truth very well with Darth Maul she beat John Snow in a fight worth 20 he has a sword that's all and his curly locks I really don't think they would have liked to do much do you recognize this woman? Yeah, did you get along? the solo set, yeah, yeah, she got you tickets to her sold out Fleabag show, so she got me tickets to the New York show, because I saw it originally when I was in Soho when I was a fan of hers and then I saw it I saw it in New York because I wanted to see it and see it, so seeing it again in New York was wonderful and then when it aired in the West End, I thought, honey, I'm not going to ask you that, go and see it a third time.

The time you didn't see that you did it before, uh, you didn't see it a third time, no, so I saw it in Soho before Phoebe was who Phoebe is from time to time in New York, so not in the West End , but in a doctor. She asked me for tickets and he said, I heard, you know, bridge fever, can you get me tickets myself for that show? And I said no, probably not, is it true that your mom decorated your room with your solo characters' merchandise? She one day, oh Christ, then. she really likes the merchandise with her daughter's face on it one day she came to visit me on the set of the stores and it was when we were doing the body scan for the toys and I don't know I'm like my mom is gone and she's talking with none other than the head of merchandise and it's like I can get more things like, you know, with his face, like one of the things I can get with his face and then I came back from work one day and I walked in, it wasn't my room , it was their spare room and there was only one blanket with my face on it, there were like seven or eight cushions, an obscene amount of dolls, disgusting, they loved it, so last Christmas was the first time they worked with this director mr.

Paul Feig, yes it was my first time, what a handsome young man, don't check, do you wish you had been cast in Brights Meds, yes hell yes, it's one of the best movies of all time, it's so good , look at that lineup, hell yeah? and what role would you have been ooh I mean looking at it now maybe the role of roses her that's that beautiful scene at the end when she's in the car when she says now it's really good that you look ugly when you cry and she says no No I know, so you wouldn't put him in one of these Melissa, yeah, I was thinking you would have played a good roommate, oh yeah, I mean, I like tattoos.

The brother is the one I would have liked either of them. It would be worth it because I'm English, yes I would have accepted any role in that film to be

fair

, what was it like working with this gentleman? Wonderful, look at him, he's so sweet, he can't possibly be that handsome in real life, no, he is. It's really like many more hunters in real life it's amazing, it's like carved in marble really extraordinary story yes, carved in marble why don't we talk more about Game of Thrones? your character Daenerys Targaryen was married to Jason Momoa scary after Khal Drogo right yeah Yeah would you say you two are close friends?

Yes Yes Yes. I saw it recently. Did you see his movie Aquaman? I did it. I worked in a cinema. I gave that man some money. I went to the cinema and saw it. Do you think Aquaman? He would have had a shot at the Iron Throne no there just isn't enough water yes that's a good point yes I think so yes Khal Drogo would have done it because he would have bulldozed everyone on the way yes are you the mother of dragons? Yes, she is saying it. Honestly, did you have a favorite dragon? Well, I think dragon, yeah, yeah, I had him because dragons are like him, he's my oldest son, he was my oldest son, yeah, he was the first, I think when they, you know, when the three of them. came out I think he came out first should be very detailed for you, do you know where Drogon went?

Well, I like to think he went to Hawaii. I know there was a specific place where the dragons went crazy. In the books, everyone was like Yeah, he is because he went looking for a place like that and I am, so he makes sense, but otherwise he's just wandering the seas crying. You think he's somewhere happy flying with the corpse in his mouth. Yes, because she is his mother, so in the program. I wrote a lot of CGI dragons, yeah, more than anything else in my career, that means you're an expert at writing mechanical bulls, ah, yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know, I'm tied to that dragon.

Like I was legitimately hooked and on mechanical bulls you're not that expert, I don't know, but the dragon would sometimes malfunction and I'd get a note and I just like to do everything and be like, yeah, what was that? So maybe because of those brief experiences, he might be very good at bull riding. I've heard these abilities translated, so yeah, that makes sense in the final season of Game of Thrones. There is a cup of Starbucks coffee in one of the shots. People think it's mine and it is. really annoying was that it was a publicity stunt, no, do you think we needed a publicity play like, come on really, let's be honest, no, I don't really think it was a publicity play, I just think it was a very long day and I think it just we took their eye off the ball, so do you think they fired an intern for that or not, no, no, we needed every man, woman and child we could get?

It's not a season, so I don't think it would have been a yes. Let's be honest, weren't you okay? So let me just need to break something down. They didn't give us Starbucks. The cast didn't get Starbucks. We had craft services that don't have the Starbucks logo on them so it literally couldn't have been. mine seems agitated I'm getting a strong reading but she's telling the truth okay last question yes, at some point during this interview you lied and we didn't realize, it seems like you hesitated there Emilia, tell the truth, I wanted to play custom wigs part? what I am going to do?
