Emilia Clarke turned down 50 Shades ‘due to nudity’

Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke says she turned down the role of Anastasia Steele in the film version of Fifty Shades of Grey because of the “huge amount of nudity”.

The actress, left, who regularly flashes the flesh in her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the bloodthirsty fantasy show, said she was worried about being typecast.

The first Fifty Shades film, which was directed by Sam Taylor- Johnson and starred Jamie Dornan as suave businessman Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Steele, was a critical flop but a huge box-office hit.

“I really wanted to work with Sam Taylor-Johnson because she’s f...ing amazing. But there is a huge amount of nudity in the film,“ Clarke told Marie Claire.

“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.”
