Remember the time when Emilia Clarke met Matt LeBlanc on the Graham Nortan Show and giggled like a teenage fangirl? Well, the duo met again at the Emmys but things got pretty awkward this time around.
Now we all know that Joey Tribbiani is a ladies man. But may be Matt should try refraining from going all Joey IRL. What started off as a friendly banter between the two at the Emmys took an awkward turn when Matt was asked about his fondness for GOT and Emilia’s character. Matt said:
“Yeah, I saw the first season, and I kind of fell out of touch with it, I guess that’s when she started getting naked, so I need to catch up.”

His comment obviously did not go down well with people and the cringe fest began:

Awwwwkward #MattLeBlanc . You could blame it on being in character as Joey, but then #EmiliaClarke would probably send dragons on you.

Come on, Matt. You can do better than that!
