Mother of Dragons has some impressive abdominal muscles!
Emilia Clarke had to work out extensively for the upcoming Terminator Genisys, and it really shows in her editorial for the June issue of Marie Claire UK!

The Game of Thrones actress took up weightlifting to be able to keep up with the grueling demands on set:
“Those fucking guns are super heavy. You’re running with them a lot of the time, and I needed to keep up with/be better than the boys. I needed to know what to do to have Arnold go: [adopting Arnie accent] ‘very nice.’ That was my goal.”
And yet even someone this beautiful has to deal with body image issues. Emilia recalled:
“I remember when everything first kicked off, I Googled myself. You just do, it’s instinct. But never again. It just takes that one person who says: ‘She’s a fat bitch,” and you’re like: ‘I’m a fat bitch!'”
People be trippin’!
The 28-year-old also revealed why she turned down the role of Anastasia Steele in 50 Shades of Grey:
“I really wanted to work with [Fifty Shades director] Sam Taylor-Johnson because she’s fucking amazing. But there is a huge amount of nudity in the film. I’ll never say, ‘I’m never doing nudity’ because I’ve already done it, but I thought I might get stuck in a pigeonhole that I would have struggled to get out of.”
Hopefully she can work with the director on some other project!
