Near-death experiences inspired actress Emilia Clarke to appreciate aging. After suffering two brain aneurysms in 2011 and 2013, the ‘Game of Thrones’ star underwent life-saving surgery, according to aceshowbiz.com. After her brushes with death, Clarke considers herself fortunate to be able to grow old and want to be able to appreciate the natural aging process.

“You’re going to see happy times and cheerful individuals on your deathbed.” “You’re not going to remember the times you took that extremely cute selfie,” Clarke told People magazine. “I was putting all of that into how I looked after the operation because I was so terrified and insecure,” she continued. “As I grew I realized realised that people are most attractive when they aren’t thinking about or considering their own beauty.”

The actress also stated that “growing older is a given,” thus she is unconcerned about her age. “What the f**k is the matter with becoming older? What are the two fundamental realities of life? Death and taxes. It’s happening right now. Growing older is unavoidable. I believe that the most beautiful women are those who do not appear to be younger.”

The 34-year-old actress isn’t a fan of cosmetic operations to help her maintain her youthful appearance, citing “ridiculous beauty standards” as her reason. “The concept of me placing my face in someone else’s hands with a knife, no, no, no,” she stated emphatically.
