What happens when Game of Thrones veteran Jason Momoa show up at showrunner David Benioff’s birthday party? Everyone gets very, very drunk.
Last month, Game of Thrones showrunner David Benioff invited several of his old cast and crewmates to his 51st birthday party. Hannah Waddingham (Septa Unella) was there, as were Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen). They even posted pictures of their reunion:
“Oh God, it was beautiful,”Clarke told PEOPLE. “When Jay’s in town, you know it’s going down.”
"He walks into the room and you’re just like, ‘My man.’ It’s almost like a test, every time he sees [me] he’s like, ‘Can I still throw you around the room? Yeah I can.’"
Apparently Momoa is also the guy at the party who gets the drinking started, which isn’t hard to believe, is it? “I mean, I’ve never tried so many different whiskeys in my entire life,” Clarke said. “There were a couple that were really nice, and there were a couple that were paint stripper, and I literally was like, ‘Yeah I’m gonna down you, get hair on your chest.’ It was funny.”
Overall, Clarke said that Momoa got the whole group “as drunk as humanly possible.” Sounds like a pretty good time.
Clarke was on Game of Thrones for all eight seasons and Momoa only for one, but both have gone on to have huge careers in Hollywood. Momoa is Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, and Clarke will be joining the rival Marvel Cinematic Universe alongside Samuel L. Jackson in Secret Invasion on Disney+.
