Foxtel’s chief executive has apologised for referring to Game of Thrones actor Emilia Clarke as a “dumpy-looking girl”, while launching the prequel of the series on Tuesday.
Delivering a speech at the Sydney premiere, Patrick Delany told media he was initially bemused when he first started watching Game of Thrones. “I was like, ‘What’s this show with the dumpy-looking girl who walks into the flames?’” he said jovially, referring to Clarke’s lead character Daenerys.
