Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, and the rest of the Game of Thrones cast are currently doing the press rounds for season eight, which premieres April 14 on HBO. Granted, the show doesn’t necessarily need promo at this point—it’s a full-blown phenomenon—but we’ll happily watch the new interviews and dissect them accordingly.
Take Clarke‘s latest one, which happened on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Tuesday night. The Mother of Dragons hilariously teased her co-star Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) for complaining that his GoT shoots are intense. Colbert co-signed this, saying the last time Harrington was on his show, he complained about the tough GoT shoots in Iceland, where he wore about “40 pounds of fur.”
“He’s got the worst, I know,” Clarke said jokingly. “He does really like to tell everyone that. ‘It’s really heavy, it’s really heavy.'”
The actress continued, “That’s cold weather in Iceland, but there’s short filming hours because there’s only, like, four hours of daylight. Whereas, I’m in a quarry in, you know, Malta, in 100-degree heat—passing out every single season because I have two sets of hair on my head. But yeah, so Kit’s always complaining that he’s got it worst, but he’s definitely got it better. He’s drinking by 2 P.M. because there’s only, like, two hours of daylight.”
Watch her explain this for yourself, below:
Emilia Clarke also revealed she told her mother about how Game of Thrones ends. “I’ve got to be honest, I did, I did, not just my dog, I told my—I wasn’t supposed…I told my mom, but the good thing about telling my mom these things is she’s a vault because she’s just done forgotten it—I told her,” Clarke said. “I was like, ‘I’m not going to tell you twice, you missed your chance!'”
Luckily, we’ll all know who reigns on the Iron Throne soon enough.
