The actor is currently staring in ‘Me Before You’, one of the few Hollywood films with a female director, writer and producers.
‘Game of Thrones’ star Emilia Clarke has hit out at Hollywood’s sexism asking: “why are they treating me differently because I've got a pair of tits?” The 29-year-old currently stars in romantic drama Me Before You which, unusually for a Hollywood film, has a female director, female writer and three female producers.
Emilia Clarke has said women are still treated differently in Hollywood.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, in an interview conducted by the film’s writer Jojo Moyes, Clarke said: 'I'm normally surrounded by dudes. Doing Me Before You meant I didn't have to be continually proving myself in a man's world, having to try and force people to listen to me.”

“I've got a really strong mum. I was brought up thinking that men and women are equal. It's only as I've got older that I've been like: "Mum! What the f...? Why are they treating me differently because I've got a pair of tits?”'
It’s not the first time Clarke has addressed Hollywood’s sexism. In the past she’s made numerous headlines when speaking about the lack of male nudity on ‘Game of Thrones’, even creating the hashtag #freethepenis.

Earlier this week Clarke also said she’d like to be the first female James Bond and take on Leonardo DiCaprio as her ‘Bond boy’. “I have a lot of unrealised dreams,” Clarke told the Daily Star. “I would love to play Jane Bond. My ultimate leading man would be Leonardo Dicaprio. No doubt about it.”
