Emilia Clarke gives advice to her 18 year-old self

What would advice would you give your 18-year-old self? Emilia Clarke gives some heartfelt advice in a video for Teen Vogue. From relationships to dreams, family and everything else that comes in the teenage years, Emilia reveals what she wishes she knew back then.

The Game of Thrones actress seemed to lack confidence as a teenager when she opens up about her looks but gives some good advice that all women can appreciate. 

On appearance: '18-year old Emilia, I'm going to quote this Sunscreen song at you, I know you know it: you are not as fat as you think you are. There are some women who look some way, and there are other women who look another way - like a whole other way and the way that the other women look, people love. Because they look like women.'

On her dreams of becoming an actress: 'There are going to be times when someone says that dream that you've had your entire life, the moment when someone says that it's not possible, it is. I know you didn't get into drama school this time round, but you will. You have the strength to overcome it.'

On love and relationships: 'You're going to feel some serious heartbreak... And the reason why it's going to hurt so much, it's because that heartbreak is going to make you doubt yourself. You put yourself out on a plate and you bare everything, and someone says they don't really like that. So, that makes your feel like you're not worth it. But you are, and there will be lots of people who will tell you you are worth it.'
