Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke Reveals Her Ideal Man: 'I Want Someone Who Has a Dad Bod'

There is good reason to envy Emilia Clarke.

She's on a globally popular TV show, Game of Thrones and stars in the buzzworthy new romantic drama Me Before You based on Jojo Moyes' best-selling novel. But most important, she's had the pleasure of sharing steamy fictional romances with a very handsome string of suitors: her Thrones paramours Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) and Michiel Huisman (Daario Naharis), and Me Before You costar Sam Claflin ( The Hunger Games, to name a few.

"I know, they are so dreamy!" Clarke gushes about her onscreen love interests in the new issue of PEOPLE. But there's a problem: "Every character I've been with has been too perfect."

Come again, Emilia?



"Genuinely my ideal man is someone who, I know every woman says this but I mean this from the bottom of my heart, someone whose brain is as big as their funny bone," says Clarke of her ideal man or "type." (In the past, she's been linked to to Family Guy funnyman Seth MacFarlane and her Terminator Genisys costar Jai Courteney.)
