She recalled: ‘So, they [the doctors] literally were looking at the brain and being like, ‘Well, we think it could be – could be her concentration, it could be her peripheral vision,’ she said.
‘I always say it’s my taste in men,’ she joked.
‘For a very long time, I thought it was my ability to act…that was a deep paranoia.’
During the interview Emilia also admitted what it was like to return to the set after her brain haemorrhage which happened after filming season one of the show.
She said that once she returned to shoot the second season she had no time to ‘question her own mortality’ because she was too busy playing a ‘badass character who walked through fire’.
