Emilia Clarke Danced The Funky Chicken During Her Game of Thrones Audition
For six seasons, Emilia Clarke has played Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, a role that has earned her two Emmy nominations. But before that, she was just a British actress nervous about her audition for the show  so nervous, it seems, that she thought it would be a good idea to dance the Funky Chicken during that audition. "Game of Thrones showrunner David Benioff was like you can do a dance'  like, as a joke," Clarke told Jay Duplass on Variety Studio Actors on Actors. "And I took him so seriously, because I was just so  I might as well have brought in a little apple, like, a teacher's pet I just wanted it so bad.", She told Duplass that Game of Thrones fans would unfortunately probably not have the chance to witness a reenactment. "I've tried to make my character funny, and it just doesn't work," she said. "Khaleesi isn't funny.", Variety
