Doubly current Emilia Clarke survived serious illness: “I’m missing parts of the brain”


“Game of Thrones” star Emilia Clarke is healthy and ready for her comeback. Soon her first film in four years will be released.Emilia Clarke is perhaps best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in eight seasons of HBO’s monster hit “Game of Thrones”. She has also had major roles in, among others, “Terminator: Genysis” and “Solo: A Star Wars Story”.
Since 2019, Clarke has been a little less visible than during the “GOT” years, devoting himself instead to theater in London. But this year she returns in two projects. Partly with one of the main roles in the Marvel series “Secret Invasion”, which was released this summer, and partly with the sci-fi romance “The Pod Generation”, which is shown in Sweden during the Stockholm Film Festival in November. It is her first major role in four years.

What everyone may not know is that Clarke’s life could have been completely different – she has suffered from severe brain damage, which could have caused but for life, or even death.
On two occasions, in 2011 and 2013, i.e. during her first year as Daenerys Targaryen, Clarke suffered a brain aneurysm , for which she was treated during the series’ production. She talks about the ominous diagnosis herself in a New Yorker article from 2019:

“The diagnosis was quick and ominous: a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding in the space surrounding the brain.”
“As I later learned, about a third of patients with SAB die immediately or shortly thereafter. For those patients who survive, immediate treatment is required to seal the aneurysm, as there is a very high risk of a second, often fatal, bleed,” Clarke writes. .

At the age of 24, Emilia Clarke was forced to undergo several brain surgeries.

“I’m missing a piece of my brain”
Had it gone really badly, Clarke could have died from the aneurysm, but most survivors are still affected for life. Clarke is among a small group of people who were lucky enough to escape it, according to an interview with the BBC last year.
– It is incredible that I can speak, sometimes articulately, and live my life completely normally without any restrictions whatsoever. I am among the very, very, very small group of people who have survived this.
– A piece of my brain is missing. Which always makes me laugh… That’s the thing about a stroke, as soon as part of the brain doesn’t get blood, it’s gone. The blood may find another way around, but a piece of the brain is gone forever.
Emilia Clarke’s experience with the aneurysm has led her to found a charity, SameYou , which works to help people who have survived brain injuries. Among other things, SameYou works with various British universities to develop new ways to help survivors.
Thankfully, Emilia Clarke is today in good health, and as I said is ready for a comeback in front of the camera with both a film and a TV series this year.
Her superhero role as the Skrull G’iah in “Sceret Invasion” can be seen on Disney+, and her upcoming romantic sci-fi comedy ” The Pod Generation” about artificial pregnancies will be shown at the Stockholm Film Festival on November 9. Watch the trailer below.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
