Emilia Clarke, the heroine of Game of Thrones has been counting her blessings since fully recovering after two brain aneurysms.

During an interview with the BBC's "Sunday Morning," the "Game of Thrones" star said she lost "quite a bit" of brain matter.

"It was the most excruciating pain," Clarke recalled. "It was incredibly helpful to have 'Game of Thrones' sweep me up and give me that purpose."

While working on the award-winning HBO series, the actress had suffered from two aneurysms that almost took her life.

The 35-year-old experienced her first in 2011 and the second in 2013, both medical emergencies requiring long recovery periods. Back in 2019, the actress first opened up about the difficult recovery in a personal essay published in the New Yorker and assured fans that she had made it back on her feet.

"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," Clarke said. "I am in the really, really, really small minority of people that can survive that."

The "Me Before You" star recounted the first time she saw a scan of her brain after the aneurysms.
