Going deep undercover for her latest role in PONIES, Emilia Clarke found one part of the Peacock series particularly physically demanding.
The 4x Emmy nominee revealed she “broke a rib” while filming intimate scenes as Bea, a Cold War-era widow who seduces several high-level KGB agents to get answers, meaning she “really made out a bunch” with her co-stars.
“Three men, in a number of hours,” she told The Wrap. “Just keep bringing it — I’m going to sit on this thing, you’re going to bring them in, we’re going to pretend to have sex. I broke a rib that day.”
Co-star Haley Lu Richardson, who plays fellow CIA widow Twila, confirmed, “She really did. She’s such a tiny little sensitive body, meant she broke a rib.”
Clarke recalled having to tell her doctor the injury was from “sex, times three!”

“It didn’t like, fully break,” the Game of Thrones alum clarified. “It just popped out a little bit.”
In PONIES, now available to stream on Peacock, Bea and Twila work as secretaries at the US embassy in 1977 Moscow, where they go undercover as CIA operatives after their husbands die under mysterious circumstances.
