At least four monkeys appear to have entered the actresses’ hotel room
It takes a lot of nerve to cross a Wildling and a Dragon Queen, but a few cheeky monkeys just got away with it!
Game of Thrones co-stars and real-life friends Emilia Clarke (aka Daenerys Targaryen, First of Her Name, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, etc. etc.) and Rose Leslie (Ygritte) were caught unaware by a few local critters while vacationing together in India.
According to an Instagram post shared by Clarke, the pair were “robbed blind by monkeys” during their travels, but unlike their feisty fictional counterparts, she notes “we hardly put up a fight.”
A gallery of their vacation snaps included a photo of the offending animals. At least four monkeys appear to have entered their hotel room and were nabbing fruit from a bowl on their coffee table and something paper off a desk.
Clarke was unfazed by the intrusion and seems to have found thoroughly enjoyed her girls’ getaway, identifying the two of them in her caption as “just two gals buzzed off our faces on India.” She spent her trip reading, doing yoga and appreciating “mamma earth,” and “figuring out that all you’re ever looking for can be found within.”
She noted the last might be “corny as hell but my god is it true.”
While the pair didn’t share time on screen in Thrones, Leslie is married to Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Clarke’s love interest in the series, and the women have clearly become close friends. “Rose Leslie has my heart and soul wrapped up in hers,” Clarke wrote in one of several lengthy hashtags, which also included #brainalteringjoy and #dontforgetthelovepeople.
This isn’t Clarke’s first big trip since the show’s controversial finale in May.
She also detoxed from GoT in the Dolomites, a mountain range in northern Italy, in July, where she traveled “the long and winding road to kicking off Khaleesi’s boots and trudging home in my own shoes once again.”
