Emilia Clarke's aneurysm and health issues as she says bits of her brain are missing
Game of Thrones as Daenerys Targaryen from 2011 to 2019.Since then, she has found continued success in films such as Terminator Genisys and Solo: A Star Wars Story, and she is set to star in Marvel’s Disney Plus series Secret Invasion.However, she has revealed that away from the camera she has been dealing with her own health concerns.These include two brain aneurysms in 2011 and 2013.The 35-year-old star has opened up about it in a new interview, shockingly admitting she is missing part of her brain because of her past health scares.The NHS explains that an aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall, usually where it branches.Emilia admitted to being lucky to survive what she went through, with the two surgeries leaving her brain forever damaged.During an interview on BBC One’s Sunday Morning, Emilia said: “The amount of my brain that is no longer usable – it’s remarkable that I am able to speak, sometimes articulately, and live my life completely normally with absolutely no repercussions.“I am in the really, really, really small minority of people that can survive that.”She also explained how she feels about missing part of her brain, admitting it “always makes me laugh”.“There’s quite a bit missing! Which always makes me laugh.“Because strokes, basically, as soon as any part of your brain doesn’t get blood for a second, it’s gone. And so, the blood finds a different route to get around but then whatever bit it’s missing is therefore gone.”After surviving her two brain operations, Emilia was left suffering from aphasia.This is when a person has difficulty with their language or speech.
