Premieres are often revered as glamorous events, although the can sometimes be weird. Even "Game of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke says, "Crutches make it that much weirder."
The "Terminator: Genisys" actress was seen on several occasions just this month sporting the mobility aid to get around for her press tour. As Clarke guested on "The BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show With Nick Grimshaw" to promote her new film with Arnold Schwarzenegger, she revealed the names of her crutches.
"They're called Will and Ben, just so you know," Emilia joked. But she did address her injury saying, "I've got a stress fracture on my hip."
It's adorable to see Emilia Clarke poke fun at her situation. When asked about how she got the injury, she replied, "I want to say it's from parkour or something - something really brilliant, like I'm trying to vault a wall, but in reality I just slipped. It's really boring."
"But by the end of the press tour I'm going to come up with like the sickest story ever. It's going to be pretty brilliant," the "Mother of Dragons" actress added.
Nick Grimshaw even posted some photo booth snaps on his Instagram account. The photo shows Emilia Clarke goofing around with Grimshaw with the crutches. "Here is Emilia Clarke MOTHER OF DRAGONS. She is on crutches. We used them as comedy props," the caption read.

Clarke obviously talked about her upcoming film as well. She felt "epic" about being part of the action franchise. "I sound like an idiot, but you're watching action movies and you're like, 'Ooh! Cool! Special effects!'" Emilia shared.
She then continued, "Then you end up doing it and you're like, 'Oh, no, I actually run? I actually fire the guns and I run? Brilliant. OK, I should probably get better at running."
Emilia Clarke's net worth currently stands at $3 million. But with her talented acting chops, she's sure to grab more roles and increase that number.
