Clarke said many people didn't notice her without Daenerys Targaryen's signature platinum hair from \"Game of Thrones.\"

\"I hid for a really long time when I was a brunette because people just wouldn't recognize me,\" she said. \"As Khaleesi, I'm quite serious and as Emilia I'm not, so unless I'm in a bad mood, that's the only time anyone would recognize me.\"

As fans anxiously await the final season of \"GOT,\" Clarke described what it was like filming her final scenes.

\"It really is the most heartbreaking thing to be filming the last of anything,\" she said. \"I've become an emotional wreck on set. They're like 'Emilia...it's OK' and I'm like, 'But it's the last time!'\"

She added, \"Overall, anything, be it an emotional scene or not, is kind of making me very sad.\"

\"Solo: A Star Wars Story\" flies into theaters on Friday.
