Emilia Clarke Gives Advice to Her 18 Year Old Self

  • Not Synced
    Dear Emilia, you just turned 18.
  • Not Synced
    So, as your future self,
    here is some advice
  • Not Synced
    that I'd like to give you.
  • Not Synced
    [Music]
  • Not Synced
    This particular journey that you're on
  • Not Synced
    is unlike any one of your friends'
  • Not Synced
    that you are with right now.
  • Not Synced
    What they're doing
  • Not Synced
    is gonna bring them
    joy and happiness;
  • Not Synced
    and what you're doing
    is also gonna bring you --
  • Not Synced
    maybe a little more struggle,
  • Not Synced
    and some joy and happiness as well.
  • Not Synced
    There are gonna be times
  • Not Synced
    when someone says
    that dream that you've had
  • Not Synced
    your entire life?
  • Not Synced
    The moment when someone says
    that's not possible,
  • Not Synced
    it is.
  • Not Synced
    I know you didn't get into drama school
  • Not Synced
    this time around?
  • Not Synced
    But
  • Not Synced
    you will.
  • Not Synced
    You have the strength to overcome it.
  • Not Synced
    And, you can go to the parties.
  • Not Synced
    And you can have fun at the parties.
  • Not Synced
    But you don't need to do
    everything that everyone is doing.
  • Not Synced
    You know, ain't nothing wrong
    with a Diet Coke.
  • Not Synced
    [Laughs] Ain't nothin' wrong.
  • Not Synced
    18 year old Emilia,
  • Not Synced
    I'm gonna quote "The Sunscreen Song"
    at you.
  • Not Synced
    I know you know it.
  • Not Synced
    "You are not as fat
    as you think you are."
  • Not Synced
    "There are some women who look one way,
  • Not Synced
    and there are other women
    who look another way."
  • Not Synced
    "Like, a whole other way.
  • Not Synced
    And the way that the other women look?
  • Not Synced
    People love, because
    they look like women."
  • Not Synced
    So, when it comes to relationship advice,
  • Not Synced
    there's other things that come along
    with relationships.
  • Not Synced
    You think that they're, like,
  • Not Synced
    inspecting everything...
  • Not Synced
    you know, and, kind of looking at you
  • Not Synced
    in a way of, sort of,
  • Not Synced
    that makes you feel uncomfortable,
  • Not Synced
    or judged, or whatever it is.
  • Not Synced
    Chances are, they are not.
  • Not Synced
    Chances are, they are just
  • Not Synced
    super happy to be there.
  • Not Synced
    You are gonna feel
    some serious heartbreak.
  • Not Synced
    You're gonna feel, like, some proper...
  • Not Synced
    some proper things.
  • Not Synced
    And the reason why it's gonna hurt
    so much,
  • Not Synced
    it's because that heartbreak
    is gonna make you doubt yourself.
  • Not Synced
    You put yourself out on a plate.
  • Not Synced
    And, you bare everything.
  • Not Synced
    And, someone says that they --
  • Not Synced
    they don't really like that.
  • Not Synced
    So, that makes you feel...
  • Not Synced
    like you're not worth it.
  • Not Synced
    But, you are.
  • Not Synced
    And there are lots of people
  • Not Synced
    who are going to tell you
    that you are worth it.
  • Not Synced
    The people in your life
  • Not Synced
    when all the lights are off,
  • Not Synced
    the real people, who
    you really love?
  • Not Synced
    Just hug them, like, every day.
  • Not Synced
    Okay, so. Parting words.
  • Not Synced
    Little Emilia. Littler Emilia.
  • Not Synced
    I'm just gonna say that, um,
  • Not Synced
    you know, it's...
  • Not Synced
    it's autumn right now.
  • Not Synced
    Because it's October.
  • Not Synced
    But, uh...
  • Not Synced
    "winter is coming."
  • Not Synced
    [Music]
  • Not Synced
    And "wear sunscreen."
  • Not Synced
    Love, Emilia.
