NO SPOILERS, DON'T WORRY.

Emilia Clarke is now a household name however, back when she was auditioning for the part of Daenerys Targaryen she was relatively unknown.

She recently spoke to Variety about her first audition - and it was certainly anything but ordinary.

In fact, according to her she did the funky chicken and the robot is order to secure the role. Actors, ay?!

Speaking with Jay Duplass, she said: "David Benioff and Dan Weiss and Frank Doelger and Carolyn Strauss - all producers on the show, showrunners - they had seen me in England and they had brought me over.

"And they were kind of, 'Oh so this chick we found somewhere in London who's done nothing but one episode of a daytime TV show, we'd like her to be this main character on this new show we're doing.' So, I needed to go in and be like, they weren't crazy.

"So then I went in and I did the scenes and then I was like, 'Can I do anything else? Is there anything else you want me to do?' And, David Benioff was like 'You can do a dance LOL' as a joke and I took him so seriously."

So there you have it. If you want to be successful in that industry, you need to brush up on your funky chicken moves.
