Emilia Clarke wants as many as children as she can "pop out."

The 'Game of Thrones' star, who plays the mother of dragons on the HBO series, would like to have a massive brood because she wants to create a "happy family".

Speaking in the May issue of Marie Claire magazine, she said:

"Personally, I'd like as many children as I can pop out, I reckon. You come from a happy family; you want to create a happy family."

The 26-year-old actress - who previously dated 'Family Guy' creator Seth MacFarlane and was caught flirting with Jared Leto at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards in Los Angeles in January - was recently voted the world's most desirable woman in a new international poll by online men's magazine AskMen.com.

The brunette beauty was awarded the title after winning over the majority of one million voters, who were asked to select stars based on sex appeal, shared values, talent, overall desirability, and potential in the upcoming year.

Explaining the results at the time, the website said: "Emilia Clarke may be known mostly for her role as Daenerys Targaryen, but to viewers the other worldly beauty is everything. This will be her year."
