Snoop Dogg said meeting Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke as “wonderful and precious.”
Backstage at his O2 Arena show in London this week, the Gin and Juice singer, 51, met the Game of Thrones actress, 36, and couldn’t stop talking about the George RR Martin drama.
Emilia portrayed Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s fantasy drama Game of Thrones for eight seasons, beginning in 2011 and ending in 2019.
When he met the Last Christmas performer in a video uploaded on her Instagram account, the Drop It Like It’s Hot rapper admitted he was a tremendous fan of the programme.
Emilia said she had no idea he tuned into GOT, adding: ‘But I know now.’
‘I would protect your eggs any day…I’m here for you, baby, I’m here!,’ he continued.
The feeling was very much mutual with Emilia, who was visibly blown away, joking: ‘Can I get that in writing?’
The Above Suspicion star captioned the post: ‘ SNOOP. DOGGY. DOGG. 🤯🥳
The man, the myth, the legend. When he calls, you (I) come running.
‘#my16yearoldselfishavingalifealteringmomenthere #soismy36yearoldself 🤌🤩🥳.’
Snoop commented: ‘I’ love me some you 🐉🔥🐾🎥🥰.’
Fans were delighted by the encounter, with one commenting: ‘This made me cheese so hard. You both are such huge fans of each other! What a cool moment 🥰🙌.’
A thrilled GOT lover enthused: ‘There’s something so wonderful and precious about this,’ while another added: ‘Legend meets legend.’
A fourth demanded: ‘Oh I wanna see an SNL skit with Daenerys and Snoop Dogg now.’
Snoop’s tour has been a smash with fans, and he delighted them when he shouted out the song from his popular Just Eat commercial.
In 2020, the iconic rapper collaborated with meal delivery business Just Eat, and while fans were first perplexed, the resultant song is now recognised as a true earworm.
