The Graham Norton Show never fails to disappoint with its star-studded lineup, and this episode was no exception. The talk show host welcomed some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry to his iconic red couch, including Tom Hanks, Emilia Clarke, and Jason Momoa. The chat show was filled with laughter, anecdotes, and even a few Game of Thrones references that left the audience in stitches.
Emilia Clarke, known for her role as the fearless Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, opened up about her experience filming the final season of the hit show. Clarke confessed that she didn’t receive any prior warnings about her character’s fate, which made the shocking death scenes even more heart-wrenching for her. One character who didn’t survive the show’s brutal plot twists was Khal Drogo, played by the charismatic Jason Momoa. Momoa, known for his humorous personality, shared a funny behind-the-scenes story about filming a particularly intense and violent scene with Clarke. To lighten the mood, Momoa decided to wear a beautiful pink fluffy sock over his modesty during the intimate scene, much to Clarke’s surprise.
But it wasn’t all about Game of Thrones on the show. Tom Hanks, legendary actor and beloved Hollywood star, was also a guest on the episode. As expected, Hanks brought his trademark charm and wit to the conversation. He discussed his involvement in the highly anticipated film, “Toy Story 4,” and how Rock called it one of the most emotional movies in the franchise. Hanks also spoke about his experience working on the final season of Game of Thrones and revealed that he was a fan of the show, just like millions of viewers around the world.
As the conversation delved deeper, Norton couldn’t help but bring up the fact that Emilia Clarke‘s character, Khaleesi, is widely recognized as one of the most iconic characters on television. The audience erupted in cheers as a giant stamp featuring Clarke as Daenerys was unveiled. Clarke, humbled by the recognition, admitted that her character is the closest to herself that she has ever played, but with a slight twist of being the Mother of Dragons.
The laughter continued as the cast shared amusing stories and inside jokes. Momoa showcased his Dothraki language skills while Hanks joked about his horse-riding adventures on the show. Clarke also jokingly mentioned a hilarious moment with her parents, who were initially concerned about her limited screen time in the earlier episodes of Game of Thrones.
