Emilia Clarke Talks The Major Con Of Dating A Guy Like Seth MacFarlane

Emilia Clarke’s interview with Glamour magazine already gave us a Game of Thrones-inspired video clip for our pleasure, but the interview also featured a few interesting tidbits about Clarke’s personal life. It’s not so much the gossip part of things that makes it interesting, although knowing that Clarke is apparently single and has a “good thing” going right now is nice — there’s still a chance!

The real interesting bit comes thanks to a thought that surely passed through everybody’s mind at some point in relation to Clarke. When she was dating Seth MacFarlane, there definitely was a few people who thought it was a crazy situation. Maybe a joke or some sort of geek magic brought to life. And according to Clarke, a few people let those thoughts escape their mouths from time to time:

Well, a con is you have strangers giving you love-life advice like, “I’m a big fan of the show, and I’m not sure what you’re doing with that guy,” which I didn’t react well to. That happened in New York when Seth and I were together. This guy started to give me advice: “Can I get a selfie? And by the way…” Unh-unh, bro.

When you read that, only one thing could come to mind:

It’s also a reminder of how annoying fans can be in public. Reading that interaction above, you would almost think that MacFarlane looked like Rip Torn or something. He’s certainly not, although Rip Torn is one of our greatest actors and deserves some sort of respect.
