Emilia Clarke, the actress known for playing Daenerys Targaryen on the hit series Game of Thrones....

Shortly after wrapping the first season of Game of Thrones at age 24, Emilia Clarke suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm that caused a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of stroke). She experienced aphasia (temporary loss of speech and ability to remember her own name) and underwent endovascular surgery.

A second, larger aneurysm on the other side of her brain required invasive brain surgery (craniotomy) after an initial procedure failed. She kept her health struggles private for years before sharing the full story in a personal essay for The New Yorker in March 2019.

. . . .

It happened in February 2011, shortly after she finished filming the first season. She was 24 and working out at a gym in London when she was hit with a crushing headache and collapsed. After surgery, she developed aphasia, a condition that affects language. For a time, she couldn’t remember her own full name. She later wrote that she was so afraid of losing her ability to act that she wanted doctors to let her go.

She recovered and went back to work, often feeling exhausted on set.

In 2013, a routine scan found a second aneurysm that had doubled in size. The first surgery to fix it failed and caused a severe bleed, so doctors had to operate again, this time through her skull.

In 2019, she finally shared her story in The New Yorker and started SameYou, a charity focused on providing recovery support for people healing from brain injuries and strokes.

In a 2023 interview, Clarke said that because of the damage, she is missing “quite a bit” of her brain, and joked that it’s amazing she can still speak.

U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson meeting with British Prime Minister Harold Wilson at the White House in July 1966....

During the Vietnam War, President Johnson repeatedly pressed Prime Minister Wilson to commit British combat troops to show allied solidarity. Wilson famously remarked to his Cabinet in December 1964 that Johnson was "begging me even to send a bagpipe band to Vietnam". Despite intense American pressure—and even financial leverage offers by LBJ—Wilson refused to deploy British combat troops to Vietnam. He wanted to avoid splitting the Labour Party, alienating the British public, and dragging Britain into an unpopular war. While Britain offered de facto diplomatic and political support for U.S. policy, no British combat units or bagpipe platoons ever fought in Vietnam.

. . .

As the US sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Vietnam, President Lyndon B. Johnson wanted America’s closest ally to join the fight. This photo was taken in 1966, as the pressure on British Prime Minister Harold Wilson grew.

Johnson was famous for “the Johnson Treatment,” using his size, closeness and relentless persuasion to bend people to his will. But Wilson wouldn’t budge.

Wilson had several reasons. Many in his own Labour Party strongly opposed the war, Britain’s economy was struggling, and Britain had helped lead the 1954 peace talks that divided Vietnam, which Wilson felt gave it a role as a peacemaker.

Britain offered the US public support and diplomatic help, and Wilson tried several times to broker peace talks. But no British combat troops were ever sent.

Australia and New Zealand, on the other hand, did send troops to fight alongside the Americans.

Wilson was famous for his pipe, but in private he reportedly preferred cigars. He thought the pipe made him look more down-to-earth to voters.
