On Tuesday, Emilia Clarke revealed that she had a new ‘guy friend’ and a ‘four-legged friend’, all in one Instagram post. To find out more, I gave her a call and we agreed to meet up at a small cafe near her place in Venice Beach.
Bea: Hi Emilia. Thank you so much for doing this with me.
Emilia: My pleasure.
Bea: My best friend’s daughter, Katie, is literally obsessed with you.
Emilia: Aww. That’s so sweet!
Bea: They have three yellow birds at home and Katie pretends they are ‘her dragons.’
Emilia: Aww. Like my dragons!
Bea: It’s really cute. She takes them everywhere with her. Even though they’ve been dead for weeks and reek.
Emilia: …
Bea: I read somewhere that your full name is “Emilia Isobel Euphemia Rose Clarke”.
Emilia: That’s right. It’s a long name but it means a lot to me and my family.
Bea: I hate it.
Emilia: Ok.
Bea: Tell me about your new puppy.
Emilia: OMG. He literally cannot stop being the most beautiful puppy in the entire world.
Bea: What’s his name?
Emilia: Ted.
Bea: I once dated a guy named Ted. He used to kiss his mom and brother on the lips.
Emilia: You hang out with really weird people.
Bea: *Silence*
Emilia: My Ted is really cute and sweet!
Bea: My Ted was probably gay.
Emilia: …
Bea: Did you adopt the pup or did you get it from a breeder?
Emilia: I adopted him. I was actually on a date with a guy I’d been seeing for a while, and we saw the pup and fell in love with him instantly.
Bea: Are you still dating this guy?
Emilia: Nah. It didn’t work out.
Bea: How come?
Emilia: I dunno.
Bea: You must know why you broke up.
Emilia: A lot of reasons. We were both busy. But mostly because he kept calling me ‘mom’.
Bea: Eww.
Emilia: I know!!
Bea: THAT. IS. SICK!!!
Emilia: Hey! You and your Ted story are in no position to judge.
