Last Christmas star Emilia Clarke reveals adorable family Christmas tradition
The film is out soon!
Last updated 12th Nov 2019
Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke is starring in Last Christmas, an upcoming festive film based on the music of George Michael and Wham!. The film, which comes out this Friday (15th Nov), stars Emilia as unlucky twenty-something Londoner Kate whose life changes when she unexpectedly meets Henry's character, Tom.
Ahead of the film's release, we caught up with Emilia and Tom to ask them everything there is to know about Christmas and the film - and Emilia told us about her family's absolutely adorable tradition...
When asked what her 'weirdest family Christmas tradition' is by our box of crackers, Emilia said, "It's not weird, it's just really sweet. Since the dawn of my brother and I's existence, we will always on Christmas morning get our stockings, which will be on the ends of our beds - regardless of how old we are - and we'll all open them on my parents' bed.
"So my mum, my dad, my brother and me and the dog and we all open all the gifts there, and we're there for four hours, cups of tea, toast, chocolate oranges, obviously."
How sweet!
The film will feature a previously unheard song from George Michael called 'This Is How (We Want You To Get High)', who gave his blessing for the film to be made following a meeting with co-writer and co-producer, Dame Emma Thompson.
She said, "The wisdom and emotional scope of George’s lyrics have always amazed me. So many feel like they were written for the movie. After I met George and experienced his compassion and understanding up close, I realised that in fact the movie was written for those lyrics."
Last Christmas will be released on Friday 15th November.
