British star Emilia Clarke says she had struggled to remain positive after a second aneurysm killed part of her brain.
She said:"You go on the set, and you play a badass character, and you walk through fire, and you speak to hundreds of people, and you're being asked to be - to work as hard as you possibly can.Before she left hospital after the first aneurysm, Clarke was told she had a second one on the other side of her brain which could burst at any time.Two years on, after finishing season three, a scan showed the growth had doubled in size.
She said she was worried about her ability to act, after doctors said they were unsure how she would be affected. "So, they literally were looking at the brain and being like, 'Well, we think it could be - could be her concentration, it could be her peripheral vision,' said Clarke."For a very long time, I thought it was my ability to act… that was a deep paranoia."
Clarke's decision to recently break her silence over her health problems came as she launched her own charity, SameYou, aimed at supporting young people with brain injuries.
