Emilia Clarke recalled when Jason Momoa protected her on the set of Game of Thrones.

Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa's friendship on the set of Game of Thrones showed beyond the intense scenes they shared on screen. Despite the controversy the actor landed himself in when he made an insensitive joke, he showed his genuine concern for his female co-star.

When Clarke and Momoa played Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo, respectively, they seemed to share a bond that made them protect each other, especially when performing risky scenes. The Aquaman star even cried between takes for reasons that remained shrouded in secrecy.

Game of Thrones had its way of showcasing the brutal and barbaric life of the Dothraki tribe led by Jason Momoa's Khal Drogo. When Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen was sold into marriage by her brother in exchange for an army, she was the victim of abuse on her own wedding night.
