Emilia Clarke just opened up about her terrifying experience of being asked for a selfie while she was having a panic attack
star revealed that she once endured a debilitating panic attack at an airport during a particularly gruelling time period in her life.
“I was genuinely walking through an airport and I suddenly starting having what I can only believe to be a panic attack brought on by complete exhaustion,” Clarke said. “I was on my own. I was on the phone to my mum saying, ‘I feel like I can’t breathe. I don’t know what’s going on.’” Her mum talked Clarke through the attack, advising her to take deep breaths and sit down, which is the precise moment when the floodgates opened.And it was also the precise moment when a fan decided to demand that Clarke pose in a selfie with her. “I’m crying and crying,” Clarke said. “This guy’s like, ‘Can I get a selfie?’ And I was like, ‘I can’t breathe, I’m really sorry. Just having a minute.’ It was after a few moments like that where I was like, ‘I don’t know how to do this.
“When you do that,” she said, “you have to have an interaction with that person, as opposed to someone just going, ‘Give us a selfie, goodbye.’ It turns into, ‘what’s your name? Who am I making it out to? Then you have a chat and you’re actually having a truthful human-to-human thing, as opposed to it being this other thing that probably isn’t nice for them and isn’t nice to you.”
Clarke isn’t alone in moving away from selfies, especially in the world of mega-fandoms. In recent months, both“For me, it’s the difference between being able to have a life or not,” Watson told. “If someone takes a photograph of me and posts it, within two seconds they’ve created a marker of exactly where I am within 10 meters. They can see what I’m wearing and who I’m with. I just can’t give that tracking data.
