Emilia Clarke‘s fans have rushed to her defence after she was hit by online abuse over a fresh-faced Instagram snap.
The Game Of Thrones star, 36, shared the beaming image to show off her new mug sent by her mother which boasted the slogan: ‘You’re doing f*****g great.’
She captioned the post: ‘Mum got me a mug. I felt it was important to share this new found wisdom.
‘Use it and reap the rewards ❤️ #itstimetostartbackingyoselfpeople #mumsreallydoknowbest #mycoldjustgotitsmedicine.’
Sadly, Emilia’s face sparked a flurry of vile comments from trolls about her appearance, but they were soon vastly outnumbered by users rushing to her defence.

One user unfairly commented: ‘Mother of dragons what happened to you,’ while another added: ‘What’s happening with those hairs, they’re worse than mine right now.’
Emilia’s fans then rushed to her defence, with one gushing: ‘This is by far the most beautiful woman in Hollywood,’ while a second added: ‘You always put the biggest smile on my face!’
A third added: ‘Thank you for laughing so much Emilia, you make the world brighter.’
‘Beautiful – actual smile lines in an IG pic,’ a fourth user added.
Emilia has previously shared her thoughts on ageing during an interview with ELLE in 2021, admitting she was told by a facialist she needed to have fillers when she was just 28.
She said: ‘You’ve got this idea of ageing, and then you’ve got the idea of what aging makes you look like.
‘At 34, I am wiser, more intelligent, I’ve had more experiences, I’ve done all this stuff, and I’m proud of that. You can only do that because you are the age you are. Time is the only thing allows you to do those things.
‘So, if my face is gonna reflect the time that I’ve spent on this earth, I’m down for that.’

It comes after Emilia revealed she would cry before the sex scenes with Jason Momoa on Game of Thrones as she didn’t know about the nudity ahead of accepting the role.
The star portrayed Daenerys Targaryen in the hit fantasy series and admitted she was ‘terrified’ of the sex scenes because she ‘didn’t know what to do’.
Emilia, who was just 23 at the time, was ‘fresh from drama school’ and had ‘never been on a film set before’ and had to strip naked in front of ‘all those people’.
Speaking on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast in 2019, Emilia said: ‘I took the job and then they sent me the scripts and I was reading them, and I was like, “Oh, there’s the catch!”
‘But I’d come fresh from drama school and I approached it as a job: if it’s in the script then it’s clearly needed.
‘I’ve never been on a film set like this before and I’m now on a film set completely naked with all of these people, and I don’t know what I’m meant to do, and I don’t know what’s expected of me, and I don’t know what you want, and I don’t know what I want.
‘Regardless of there being nudity or not, I would have spent that first season thinking I’m not worthy of requiring anything. I’m not worthy of needing anything at all.’
However, she did credit Jason, 43, who portrays Khal Drogo, for making filming as easy as possible as she felt ‘imposter syndrome’.
