HAVING A BLAST: Who says you can only fly dragons?

Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke turned 34 last Friday and chose a memorable way to mark the occasion. "What could match the profound existential terror of another birthday," she wrote on her Instagram account over the weekend. "Jumping out of a g***** plane is what."

Her post, which has garnered more than 3.3 million likes, showed pictures of Clarke looking petrified while holding a skydiving brochure and looking all psyched up after finishing her jump.

She wrote: "Thank you Hinton Sky Diving for the most exhilarating experience of my life!"

The English actress shares the same birthday of Oct 23 as Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, who jokingly declared on social media that he is moving her birthday to Feb 29.

The 44-year-old wrote: "It was feeling a little crowded for me. Excited to announce February 29th as Emilia's new birthday. Congratulations!"
