【Roman Perez Jr. Archives】

We have Roman Perez Jr. Archivesa hard time imagining the Mother of Dragons doing anything frivolous, between needing to reclaim her throne and save Westeros from White Walkers and all.

But apparently, when Emilia Clarke wasn’t raining down fire and blood in her Game of Thronesauditions all those years ago, she was showing off her dance moves.

During a speech from showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss' at the Britannia Awards on Friday, Oct. 26, the two revealed that Clarke did "the robot" during her audition process. And evidently, her moves brought enough heat to impress even the president of HBO himself.

According to a report in Variety, the two described the terrifying environment Clarke had walked into. It was just the two show creators in a dimly lit room, and the president of HBO. "We were smiling. He wasn’t. It was quite possibly the least inviting audition environment we had ever witnessed,” said Weiss.

But Clarke wasn't going to let the bleak atmosphere put a damper on her fiery charm.

"Emilia asked if there was anything else she could do to lighten the mood and David asked, ‘Can you dance?’ And without missing a beat, Emilia did the robot,” Weiss said. “She did it with commitment and she did it well…and even the president had no choice but to smile. She got the job 10 seconds after she left the room and the two of us ran to tell her before she left the building because letting her get on an 11-hour flight home without knowing seemed like cruel and unusual punishment.”

The silliness of the whole thing is only heightened by the fact that it happened in an audition afterthe HBO president had watched the very serious pilot for Game of Thrones.

When Clarke went on stage after to accept her award for British Artist of the Year, she returned their compliments in kind, saying they “deserve their own bravery award for hiring someone whose biggest job up until then was catering parties dressed as a Snow White.”

Our hats go off to Clarke for being honored with such a prestigious award.

But now we're left wondering which kid have the bragging rights of saying Daenerys Targaryen was a Disney Princess at their birthday party.
