As the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel series ‘House of the Dragon’ released in Sydney, Patrick Delany, the CEO of Australian television company Foxtel, referred to actress Emilia Clarke as a “short, dumpy girl.” Foxtel, an Australian pay television company, is the country’s home for ‘Game of Thrones’, reports Variety. As reported by Australian publication Crikey, Delany was giving a speech ahead of the ‘House of the Dragon’ premiere screening and tried to make a joke about the first time he watched ‘Game of Thrones’. The CEO said: “I was like, ‘What’s this show with the short, dumpy girl walking into the fire?'” Delany was referencing Emilia Clarke’s character, Daenerys Targaryen, who famously walks through fire during the series. An attendee at the Sydney premiere told Crikey that “there was a bit of a gasp” after Delany made the comment. A Foxtel spokesperson told Crikey after the event that Delany’s remark was “meant to be self-deprecating.”
