Emilia Clarke Says She Broke a Rib Filming 'Ponies' Sex Scene

Co-star Haley Lu Richardson corroborated the on-set injury.

Overview

  • Clarke said the injury happened during a single day of back-to-back simulated sex scenes with three male co-stars.
  • She recounted an awkward doctor visit where she had to explain the rib injury came from filming a sex scene.
  • Clarke described it as a rib that had “popped out” rather than a full break and said it is nearly healed.
  • Richardson confirmed the episode in interviews, attributing it in part to Clarke’s slight frame.
  • Ponies, a Cold War spy thriller set in 1977, has debuted on Peacock and is available on Sky/WOW in Germany.
