Game of Thrones fans were left less than thrilled after Blake Lively, the lead actress in 2024’s It Ends With Us, compared herself to the controversial character of Daenerys Targaryen, the heroine whose descent into villainy was one of the most contentious aspects of the series.
The actress referred to herself as Khaleesi—Daenerys’ title as the female leader of a foreign army—during a text conversation with her co-star, Justin Baldoni, stating that once he watched the series, he realized that she had many similarities to the dragon rider.
The comparison, revealed in leaked documents as part of the co-stars’ ongoing legal battle, confused fans, believing the character did Lively no favors.
