Star Wars And Game Of Thrones Star Emilia Clarke Is In Time’s 100 List


It looks like Game of Thrones and Solo: A Star Wars Story actress Emilia Clarke has a spot in TIME's list of top 100 most influential people in the world.

Now that Game of Thrones is down to its eighth and final season, it doesn't come as a surprise to see Clarke making headlines, especially in TIME's top 100 most influential people in the world list. The magazine released its list of the 100 most influential people in the world back on Wednesday this week and Emma Thompson wrote a short essay for the publication about her Last Christmas co-star, Clarke.

"What was revealed was a woman of mickle might, whose instincts, whetted by years of hard work in environments that were not always safe or healthy, are as finely honed as any I've encountered. She has the courage of a small lion, the stamina of a Welsh pit pony and the soul of a clown. A powerhouse to watch and an ally to die for," Thompson wrote, describing the actress.

Charming and delightful, Clarke's off-screen personality is very different from what Game of Thrones fans are used to seeing in HBO's phenomenally popular fantasy epic. In Game of Thrones, Clarke plays the inspirational, compassionate, but at the same time ruthless Daenerys Targaryen.

In Solo: A Star Wars Story, Clarke plays the femme fatale Qi'ra who is introduced as an earnest thief in love with Han who quickly learns how to work her way up the underworld's ladder.

Game of Thrones airs at 9:00 pm ET Sundays on HBO.
