Emilia Clarke reveals the real culprit behind Game of Thrones’ coffee cup gaffe

Months after Sophie Turner blamed her for the infamous coffee cup gaffe on Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke has revealed that actor Conleth Hill was the real culprit behind the goof-up.

A takeaway coffee cup had found its way on Daenerys Targaryen (Clarke)'s table in a celebratory scene. The presence of the coffee cup created a stir in the fourth episode of the HBO series' final season in May, which led to a flood of memes and jokes on social media.

A takeaway coffee cup had found its way on Daenerys Targaryen (Clarke)'s table in a celebratory scene. The presence of the coffee cup created a stir in the fourth episode of the HBO series' final season in May, which led to a flood of memes and jokes on social media.

The actor, who will next be seen in Last Christmas, also explained why Hill didn't come clean sooner. "He's like, 'I think so, I'm sorry darling, I didn't want to say anything because it seemed (like) the heat was very much on you'. And I was like, 'What?!'" Clarke then said she also thinks Hill did it, adding "He might have been drunk, but he said it".
