The mother of dragons could’ve looked a lot different and it might have been Elizabeth Olsen<\/a><\/strong> singing a song of ice and fire.<\/p>\n

The Avengers: Infinity Wars<\/em> star revealed in an interview with Vulture<\/em><\/a> that she auditioned for Game of Thrones<\/em> way back when. <\/p>\n

“When I first started working, I just auditioned for everything, because I like auditioning,” Olsen told the website.<\/p>\n

At first, she hoped for the role of Daenerys Targaryen, which is now played by Emilia Clarke<\/a><\/strong>. It turns out it didn’t go very well either. She shared, “It was the most awkward audition I’d ever had.” <\/p>\n

“I auditioned for Khaleesi. I forgot that,” Olsen said.<\/p>\n

She said she auditioned with Daenerys’ monologue from the end of the first season “after she just burned.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Olsen explained, “And she’s making this speech to thousands of people about how she’s their queen. They didn’t know if they wanted a British accent or not. So, you did it in both. It was terrible. Anytime someone says, ‘Bad audition story.’ That’s one I remember.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Game of Thrones<\/em> may not have worked out, but Olsen she likened the HBO show’s ending to that of the other lucrative franchise she’s a part of: the Avengers.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old talked to E! News<\/a> at the Avengers: Endgame<\/em> premiere and compared I want my heart ripped out. As a fan, I want to be in pain. I feel like there should be heartbreak and emotion.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Luckily for Olsen, she doesn’t have to wait much longer to see how the series will end. What will be Daenerys’ fate<\/a>? For Olsen, however, she might care a bit more about Jon Snow.<\/p>\n

“I’m just so deep in Game of Thrones<\/em> that all I can think about is Kit Harington<\/a><\/strong>,” she told Vulture. <\/em>“I mean, he’s just brainwashed me.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
