The Game of Thrones star has opened up about her decision to preserve her fertility after suffering two brain aneurysms in her 20s, which resulted in two brain surgeries. In a new interview with The Times, Emilia explained that she chose to freeze her eggs after experiencing the medical ordeals as well as the devastating loss of her father, Peter, following a battle with cancer. "You go through certain universal moments, like I was 35 when I froze my eggs," she said. "A lot of other women around that age are freezing their eggs."
