During the filming of the series “Game of Thrones” between 2011 and 2013, actress Emilia Clarke revealed that she survived two brain aneurysms and that she is missing part of her brain.

Emilia Clarke, star of the TV series “Game of Thrones,” revealed in an interview with the BBC that she survived two brain aneurysms while filming the HBO hit.

The health issues arose in 2011 and 2013. In an interview with Sunday Morning in 2022, she shared more about her near-death experience. “I am in a very, very, very small minority of people who can survive this,” she confessed.

An aneurysm occurs when an artery in the brain bulges and fills with blood, potentially leading to the person’s death. Clarke also mentioned that the pain is excruciating. In addition to pain, vomiting and loss of consciousness are symptoms of an aneurysm.

The actress shared that she was afraid of being fired due to her illness. “When you have a brain injury, because it alters your sense of identity so dramatically, all the insecurities you already had at work quadruple out of nowhere,” she confessed.
