Emilia Clarke reveals she turned down ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ for career’s sake
Emilia Clark has unveiled that she was the initial choice to play lead Anastasia Steele in popular franchise, Fifty Shades of Grey.
The Game of Thrones star has revealed the real reason associated with her decision to turn down such a role.
Anastasia’s character required a lot of boldness and nudity, which Emilia wanted to avoid as she feared that she might be typecast in that genre.
The 39-year-old had already played such a character in Game of Thrones. Therefore, she rejected the offer to the romantic film as she did not want to be labelled as” nude” actress.
After he time on GoT, Clarke spoke about rejecting Fifty Shades franchise saying, “I’d done nudity before and was concerned with being labelled for doing it again.”
However, she confessed that she really wanted to work with director Sam Taylor-Johnson, but there was a lot of intimacy in the movie.
“I really wanted to work with Sam Taylor-Johnson because she’s f–king amazing. But there is a huge amount of nudity in the film”, added the Last Christmas actress.
The part eventually went to Dakota Johnson, who portrayed the bold character alongside Jamie Dornan’s Christian Grey.

Trump’s neck rash sparks fresh health questions
United States (U.S.) President Donald Trump’s health has come under scrutiny once again after a rash appeared on his neck during his latest public appearance on Monday, March 02, 2026.
The president’s personal physician has now clarified that the neck rash is not a cause of concern, adding that it was the result of a cream that Trump was using for his preventive skin treatment.
In an interview with CNN, Dr. Sean Barbabella said, “President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment.”
He added, “The president has the treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks.”
The physician did not specify the underlying skin condition.
The neck rash has appeared just weeks after the 79-year-old was seen with bruising on the back of his hands, which he linked to frequent handshaking and higher daily dose of aspirin.
President Trump’s physician has maintained that he remains in excellent overall health.
Social media users expressed mixed reactions. One user wrote, “Dude is legit decomposing before our very eyes,” while another said the redness was normal for someone of his age.
