Emilia Clarke Gets the Throne at Last!

According to Esquire, “The Mother of Dragons” Emilia Clarke is also the “Sexiest Woman Alive”. The 28-year old Clarke plays Daernerys Targaryen in the HBO hit series Game of Thrones, which contains one of the most complicated storylines in television history, mostly because of the fact that it is roughly based on several thousand pages of extremely accurate fantasy warfare.

But, this isn’t about the show, but the actress that plays Khalessi. According to reports, Esquire magazine made the announcement recently, anointing the actress with the title of “Sexiest Woman Alive”. Esquire made the decision after Clarke pulled off a double whammy by not only starring in a hit television series, but also passing her movie debut with flying colors playing Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genisys.

When it comes to action movies, characters don’t get any bigger than Sarah Connor, the part made legendary by Linda Hamilton in James Cameron’s first two Terminator movies where we got to see a naive waitress transform into a battle hardened warrior who’s dead set on laying the smackdown on a badass advanced cyborg, saving humanity, and doing it all before bedtime. While the strikingly beautiful Linda Hamilton played the part to the T and set the bar really, really high, Clarke brought a whole other kind of awesomeness to it. With Terminator: Genisys being a huge box office hit, Clarke seems to have done her part well in filling Hamilton’s shoes, and is all set to lead in the Terminator series as well. So, she’s definitely got bigger feet (figuratively speaking, of course!).

Speaking of figures, Emilia Clarke seems to be at the very peak of hotness. From her adorable baby face to her porcelain-like skin tone and a figure most women would die for. All of which are common traits amongst sex symbols. And did we mention her rosy, red hue, which is definitely a sign of just the right amount of hemoglobin in the blood.

Before things get weird, it has to be mentioned that Esquire made the right decision by adding the lovely, fierce and friendly Emilia Clarke to its list of greatest hits aka “Sexiest Woman Alive” category. So, with the news, it’s official. Clarke with her jaw-dropping beauty does have the traits (well most of them!) which humans (read: men) have been hardwired to find sexy.

With the news, Clarke joins the ranks of other perfect looking ladies, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis. Who have all been past recipients of Esquire’s prestigious title of “Sexiest Woman Alive”. Not to burst any wonderfully symmetric bubbles right now, but this news does come as Playboy, which is a more risque take on female beauty (and the non-watered down alternative of Esquire) has announced that it is planning to drop the fully nude photography from the printed edition of its magazine. So, congratulations to Clarke, and we all hope to see the more-risque version of the half-clothed Emilia Clarke Esquire cover. Playboy, I’m looking at you!
