Emilia Clarke on shooting in hotter countries for Game of Thrones   

In her recent media interaction at Edinburgh TV festival, Emilia Clarke talked about the double standards when it came to female Game of Thrones cast members. Emilia Clarke complained that the men had built-in cooling systems under their thick costumes while women just had to sweat it out. Talking about this, Emilia Clarke said that the men in the Night’s Watch, Jon Snow (played by Kit Harrington) are seen wearing woolly mammoth all the time.

While they were shooting in hotter countries, the costumes of men had a little generator attached to it for a pump. Using this, they used to pump cold water into these pipes in the costumes which used to cool them down from underneath. However, girls on the show were not allowed to do this. Talking about herself, Emilia Clarke said that all she could do was have the back of her wig lifted up. She also added that it is difficult to shoot in such circumstances as she had her wig on and had to put ice packs on herself in such hotter conditions.
