Just Don't Google Yourself, Advises Emilia Clarke, On Surviving Fame

Emilia Clarke, the attractive TV heroine, red-carpet rock star, as well as a riveting candidate for the next 007 launch has some interesting things to say about her survival.

"I have a rule: I just don't Google myself," Clarke says on Internet trolling. "I'm on social media, but I don't look at the stuff that other people tag me in because it just (messes) me up. Like, 'Oh, I'm hideous and fat,' but then if I don't read it, you save yourself from finding any haters out there. If you hate me, I don't need to know."

Emilia Clarke's fame has been won through hard work and some strong tips to survive fame. She has been Daenerys Targaryen in HBO's Game of Thrones and also the star in this summer's recently released Me Before You.

She has also been featured in a few unfortunate stories on Instagram. But aAnother tip is out for open inspection in that Instagram page: "If at first you don't succeed, laugh until you do."

However, there are a number of other ways in which she has been successful. Firstly, she is not publicly recognised, which makes things safer for her.

"I'm really lucky because I don't look like Daenerys, so I've been able to observe the success of the show from afar, which has been really lovely," Clarke says. "It's allowed my family and friends to kind of be like, 'Oh, OK,' but not have to deal with me walking down the street and somebody going, 'Ahhh!' all the time. That doesn't happen a bunch. So the adjustments have been really gradual and slow. Obviously, my life has completely transformed, it's kind of immeasurable, but (it's nice) being able to do what I love all the time, and have that to help my family and my friends."

Emilia Clarke may be revelling, then, behind an invisible purdah, yet anonymity does not last long! Her claim to fame would be making her climb the ladder fast, and if she follows her own tip, then she is sure to have made it without too much worry.
