UK:Emilia Clarke feels like she 'cheated death'

Emilia Clarke felt like she "cheated death" after surviving two brain aneurysms.

The 39-year-old British actress suffered aneurysms in 2011 and 2013 and has admitted to feeling haunted by the near-death experiences for years.

The brunette beauty - best known for playing Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones between 2011 and 2019, spoke to Variety about her health scares.

"For a number of years, I felt that I had cheated death, and it was coming to get me. I truly felt like I had done something wrong, and I shouldn't be here," she said.

"I also thought it ruined my ability to act - which some people might agree with!"

Clarke starred in Game of Thrones alongside the likes of Sean Bean, Richard Madden, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie.
