Major alert though – spoilers ahead! Read at your own risk.
Emilia Clarke Wasn’t Always Daenerys
Nowadays, Daenerys IS Emilia Clarke. However, that wasn’t always the case. Originally, an actress from the UK named Tamzin Merchant was cast as Daenerys. Mysteriously, she left the show under unknown circumstances and Daenerys was recast as Emilia Clarke.

Jon Snow and Kit Harrington Have A Weird Similarity
Throughout their story line, Ygritte consistently repeats, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.” Well, turns out that actor Kit Harrington – who plays Jon Snow – was missing a weird bit of information in real life as well. Before Kit turned 11 years old, he didn’t know his full name was actually Christopher. His mother liked the nickname Kit, so she just didn’t bother to mention it to him.
