Emilia Clarke to Her 18-Year-Old Self: You Are Not Fat!

Emilia Clarke is sharing some pearls of wisdom with her 18-year-old self.

In an interview with Teen Vogue, the Game of Thrones star reads a letter to her younger self that includes lessons about relationships, career goals, and telling herself, "You are not as fat as you think you are."

Clarke, who only had two film credits on her résumé before landing the breakout role of a lifetime as Daenerys Targaryen on the HBO series, has certainly come a long way. In the video, she guides her younger self on some important topics.

"This particular journey that you are on is unlike any one of your friends' that you're with right now. What they're doing is going to bring them joy and happiness, and what you're doing is also going to bring you, maybe a little more struggle, and some joy and happiness as well," she says. "There's going to be times where someone says that dream that you've had, your entire life... the moment when someone says, 'that's not possible,' it is."

Regarding love, she says, "There are the things that come along with relationships. You think that they're inspecting everything, and kinda looking at you in a way of sort of, that makes you feel uncomfortable or judged or whatever it is. Chances are they're not. Chances are they're just super happy to be there."
