According to Esquire's Benjamin Markovits, "She manages to bring together a number of opposites, to make them natural: sweetness and toughness, emotionalism with a kind of cold-blooded determination. Something in these contrasts explains her sex appeal, too. She can play queen and kid sister, dominatrix and pal." 

 

"Half pal, half dominatrix. Half kid sister, half sexy queen. The movie star who plays, in her real life, an anonymous, funny beauty. This is the gorgeous balance of Emilia Clarke," Markovits added.

 

Clarke was the Woman of the Year of GQ Magazine last September. 

 

Aside from Game of Thrones, Clarke starred in the 2013 film 'Dom Hemingway,' and the Broadway production of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.'

 

This year, she was the iconic Sarah Connor in 'Terminator Genisys.'  —  Bianca Rose Dabu/ELR, GMA News
