“That’s how I earned my living”: Emilia Clarke Making Millions from Game of Thrones Doesn’t Come Close to How Series Literally Changed the Life of a Real-Life Adult Star

Actress Emilia Clarke went from relative obscurity to her character inspiring many parents to name their children Daenerys when she starred in the HBO series Game of Thrones. The actress became one of the leading stars of the ensemble fantasy drama and is arguably one of the most popular characters in modern pop culture.
However, the show is credited with not only having given a new level of stardom to actors like Clarke and Kit Harington but also giving a new lease of life to other supporting actors. One such example is Josephine Gillan. The actress reportedly featured in adult films before playing Marei in the show.
