Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has given up her favourite foods and adopted a tough exercise regimen to prepare for her role in the new Terminator movie.
Clarke will play Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genesis alongside the franchise's original star Arnold Schwarzenegger and Australian actor Jai Courtney.
Filming begins in New Orleans, Louisiana, next month and Clarke has been given strict orders to get in shape.
She has been banned from consuming wheat, sugar, caffeine or diary products and has to train every day.
"I've been spending all day every day, in weapons training. I've been shooting guns, weightlifting, kickboxing and generally kicking a lot of ass," Clarke told Clarke tells the UK's Instyle magazine.
"On top of that, I have not been allowed to eat anything that might taste good at all," she added.
Earlier this week Schwarzenegger spoke about the movie for the first time. He said he was really looking forward to returning to the role which shot him to stardom.
"The last time when they did the Terminator, it was when I was Governor and so I couldn't be in that movie but now I'm back again and they are very excited about having me in the film," Schwarzenegger told TheArnoldFans.com.
Terminator: Genesis is scheduled to be released in 2015.
