There's no question about the fact that Emilia Clarke's character Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones is a badass on the battlefield, but what about Clarke herself? Apparently, not so much—in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, the star revealed that she's just that talented an actress when it comes to playing the fierce Khaleesi, and in real-life fighting situations, she tends to run away.

Well, except for that one time she was punched by a hooker, of course.

"I was with a bunch of friends in Vietnam, we were basically just in this bar, and this guy didn't really like us very much," Clarke relayed on the show. "We're walking out of this bar and it was like a festival, and there was just a line of prostitutes waiting for us... they were there to fight us. I ran away, but one did punch me, and I remember all I could say was, 'I've got my drama school audition in two weeks!'"
