Emilia Clarke Talks About Controversial Game of Thrones Starbucks Cup and How it Ended Up There


Fans are looking forward to Game of Thrones this weekend since we're in the penultimate episode with only one more coming out next week. Still, most people can't wait to see the fifth episode since people who worked on this show claim that some real stuff is going down, like Emilia Clarke. Speaking of Clarke, the actress recently discussed the controversial Starbucks cup from episode four, which still has a ton of memes.

Apparently, her character's dead husband and DC superhero Jason Momoa was visiting the set and chilled with some of his friends, including Clarke and Peter Dinklage. Momoa's visit was such a surprise to the cast, including Clarke herself, that she forgot about the Starbucks cup she was drinking and just left it there.

Now, this isn't just Clarke's fault. The fact that this cup wasn't edited out by the people who worked on post-production is a huge mystery, though that has now been fixed. Still, it's something that distracted a lot of people since Starbucks is just such a modern staple in pop culture these days. You just can't unsee that, unless you're getting into this series late.

Game of Thrones comes out weekly in HBO but that will be ending soon. The series can be streamed on HBO Go.
