After experiencing two aneurysms while filming "Game of Thrones," Emilia Clarke disclosed that "quite a bit" of her brain is missing.

The Game of Thrones actor, 35, said on BBC One Sunday Morning over the weekend, "The portion of my brain that is no longer functional — it's incredible that I am able to speak, sometimes articulately, and live my life fully normally with absolutely no ramifications."

“I am in the really, really, really small minority of people that can survive that,” she added. “There’s quite a bit missing! Which always makes me laugh. Because strokes, basically, as soon as any part of your brain doesn’t get blood for a second, it’s gone. And so the blood finds a different route to get around, but then whatever bit it’s missing is therefore gone.”

Clarke experienced her first aneurysm in 2011, shortly after wrapping up filming the critically acclaimed HBO series' first season. This event also caused a stroke and a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

The GOT star had to undergo brain surgery that further led to aphasia as a result of which she had a hard time remembering her name.

“I was suffering from a condition called aphasia, a consequence of the trauma my brain had suffered,” she wrote in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker.

“In my worst moments, I wanted to pull the plug,” she further wrote “I asked the medical staff to let me die. My job — my entire dream of what my life would be — centered on language, on communication. Without that, I was lost.”

Luckily, aphasia was temporary and Clarke made it through.

“I was sent back to the ICU, and after about a week, the aphasia passed,” she wrote. “I was able to speak.”

But the problems for the "Voice from the Stone" star did not end there and in 2013, she experienced another aneurism that made things complicated. Now, she needed to be treated through surgery.

Clarke had a traumatic experience after the surgery which she explains by writing in her essay, “When they woke me, I was screaming in pain. The procedure had failed. I had a massive bleed and the doctors made it plain that my chances of surviving were precarious if they didn’t operate again” 

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” star made it through and returned back to her work. As per the rumors, Emilia Clarke is in final negotiations to join Marvel Studios’ “Secret Invasion,” the hot original series quickly coming together at Disney

Clarke founded the charity SameYou in 2019 to support brain injury survivors.

Clarke chose to utilize her platform to assist others who had similar experiences after fully recovering. To collect money for brain injury survivors and their loved ones, she founded the charity Same you.
