TV Exec calls her short and dumpy


The top executive at the Australian broadcaster Foxtel shocked attendees at the Sydney premiere for House of the Dragon last week when he called Emilia Clarke a "short, dumpy girl.”

It’s true, but still very rude. 🤨

Not sure what he means by "dumpy".

Either way, I seriously doubt Delany would kick her out of bed. Emilia is quite attractive.

reply

Means short and thick. Probably referring to her not being really thin and having a full, not so firm butt.

Idk, her ass looked damn good to me. It shouldn't be too hard to find a nude pic of her from GoT on the net and you can see for yourself. She's very attractive. The comment still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. However, he could be gay and that would explain it.

reply

Agree on all points.

It's a funny thing, but although Emilia Clarke is pretty and cute in real life and in other roles, she was staggeringly beautiful as Danerys.

As beautiful as she is short! Hardly taller than Tyrion, in heels.

reply

That’s because she was naked. Makes a huge difference.

reply

Even in clothes she looked stunning! Much lovelier than she looks elsewhere.

I don't know if it was the platinum wigs, or some really good cinematographers, but there difference is real.

reply

Agreed. She's a nice looking Woman but she benefits from the Daenerys get up, she's more beautiful in costume than elsewhere.

reply

This seems dumb to call her dumpy when a lot of women are short. But that doesn't make them unattractive. I admit that I looked it up on google. It also said it meant thick which is not neccesarily bad either. Then again Network Executives are sometimes really stupid.

reply

Yes they are. And there’s nothing wrong with spinners.

It's British-Irish-Aussie/NZ for 'fat', 'stout' or 'thick' (US)

Thick (UK) Aussie c*nt

She must have rebuffed his advances at some point.

reply

I suspect she’s rebuffed several advances since showing her goods in GoT.

reply

I can see where he's coming from. Cute, though.

reply

Dumpy is one of those descriptors that is borderline insulting but it's not always intentionally derogatory.

For example I'd describe Florence Pugh as dumpy without trying to be mean to her. It's just an apt word for a short, squat, wide hipped look.

I can see it being applied to Emilia as she is quite short and pleasantly plump at times. Her nude scenes in GOT showcase her...thickset build. Suprisingly bottom heavy.

reply

She looks fine to me.
