Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke says she’s lucky to be alive, let alone able to speak, considering the brain damage she incurred following a pair of aneurysms while filming the hit HBO fantasy series.

“It is remarkable that I am able to speak, sometimes articulately, and live my life completely normally with absolutely no repercussions,” she said in a BBC interview that aired on July 17.
