'Game Of Thrones' Actress Emilia Clarke Recently Spoke About Surviving Two Brain Hemorrhages
Daenerys Targaryen may have cheated death more than a few times in her life, but Emilia Clarke has shared a real-life tale of dodging death. At a speech at Variety magazine’s Power of Women London event, Clarke talked about two brain hemorrhages she suffered in her twenties. “For a number of years, I felt that I had cheated death, and it was coming to get me,” she explained, “I truly felt like I had done something wrong, and I shouldn’t be here. I also thought it ruined my ability to act — which some people might agree with!” Despite her fears, she seems to maintain a sense of humor about the situation.
Clarke, with her mother, would later found the SenseYou charity in 2019 for women who had similar episodes of brain bleeding. After opening up about her hemorrhages, she stated that she was overwhelmed by the response, “Mostly young people reached out to tell us their own stories. Today we have tens of thousands of survivors in our community saying essentially the same thing: the journey to healing feels like falling off the edge of a cliff without anyone there to catch you.” Readers can learn more about Clarke’s speech and Women of Power London in the source linked below.
