Emilia Clarke won t Google herself

Los Angeles July 18 (IANS) Actress Emilia Clarke has a "rule" not to read what people post about her as she doesn t need to see the negative comments and knows positive remarks will get back to her eventually.

"I never look at the internet. I have a rule: I just don t Google myself. I m on social media but I don t look at the stuff that other people tag me in because it messes me up. If you hate me I don t need to know " Clarke told Event magazine reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She added: "I can barely even look at myself on the screen so I keep a very big distance from it and if anyone ever says anything really lovely or something wonderful happens someone will tell me. And then if it s something bad my mum will probably tell me..."

The 30-year-old actress was left devastated when her dad died of cancer last year and she says her tragic loss made her "re-evaluate" who she really is and vowed to be strong in her decision making.

"The world felt like a scarier place once my dad wasn t in it. It (his death) threw me off balance and made me re-evaluate who I am. And it was in that re-evaluation that I was like I m a f***ing woman and there aren t very many of us performing in the environment that I m performing in.

"I need to be incredibly sure of the ground on which I m standing and I need to take ownership of the choices I m making. "
