Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke says Dublin waxwork looks like her brother 'with mascara and a wig'

Emilia Clarke has described the Dublin waxwork of her as having a "frightening" resemblance to her brother.

The Game of Thrones star reacted to the heavily criticised sculpture on a US chat show on Wednesday night.

English actress Emilia, 32, claimed the waxwork looks like her brother in "mascara and a wig".

She told Jimmy Kimmel Live: "Here's the funny thing.

"If anyone wants to know what my brother actually looks like, it's that. He looks like that.

“I mean, that's him with mascara and a wig. I mean, legitimately it's frightening. I was like 'that is my brother'.”

Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke leads best dressed at Time 100 Gala 

The work was created by Dublin's Wax Museum, who had teased their new addition on Instagram last week.

As images of the commission were posted people questioned whether the museum had recycled old sculptures of Legalos from The Lord of the Rings or Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter.

Others were merciless as they ridiculed the museum's efforts: "It's like they didn't even try to make the wax figure look good."

Another said: "I don't know who this supposed to look like but it's definitely not the mother of dragons."

Game of Thrones fans are not happy with Daenerys waxwork they say looks like Legolas 

"Oh my god WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER," fumed one.

"Legolas?" another simply asked.

The model took artist PJ Heraghty six months to complete and is the first character from the hit show to feature at the museum.
