The 31-year-old actor, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the HBO series, said she was unsure why people still have to raise a hue and cry over sex scenes in the show, which is nearing its end.
"I'm starting to get really annoyed about this stuff now because people say, 'Oh, yeah, all the p**n sites went down when 'Game of Thrones' came back on.'
"I'm like, 'The Handmaid's Tale'? I f**king love that show, and I cried when it ended because I couldn't handle not seeing it," Clarke told Harper's Bazaar.
Clarke, who features in the "Star Wars" spin-off "Solo", also talked about how Hollywood was obsessed with casting actors who have the perfect look.
"It got me angry. Well, no, not angry. 'Angry' is the wrong word. But it pushed me into another casting type; forced me to be an actor.
"Instead of playing Juliet and doing the light, airy stuff, I would be the granny who cracks wise, or a down-and- out hooker who has seen better days," she said.
