Snoop Dogg tells Emilia Clarke he’d ‘protect her eggs any day’ as they meet for first time

'Snoop is trying to unite House Dogg and Targaryen'

And he's got a real pedigree as a dad, as he's none other than Tha Doggfather.

Snoop Dogg was performing at London's 02 when he came face-to-face with Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones.

A TikTok of the meet-and-greet has gone viral, with 4.7m views.

The 51-year-old rapper lavished praise on Clarke saying she is an "amazing actress", has a "beautiful spirit" and is "so believable", before adding the killer line: "I'd would protect your eggs any day of the week."

Fans loved the unlikely duo.

One joked: "Snoop is trying to unite House Dogg and Targaryen if know what I'm saying."

Another added: "Mother of the dragons with the lord of high garden."

The uplifting exchange is probably just what Clarke needed as she 36-year-old has recently been targeted by trolls after posting a make-up-free selfie.

The pic, taken in her kitchen, featured a mug given to Clarke by her mother which read: "You're doing f**king great”.

While is has gained almost 3 million likes since being posted on Instagram on February 22, it also attracted a host of mean comments about the star's appearance.

The interaction comes after Snoop was seen partying backstage at the Rod Laver Arena, in Melbourne, Australia, with Ed Sheeran and Russell Crowe earlier this month.

Snoop gifting both Ed and Russel a chunky logo chain from his Death Row Records jewellery line, which is worth £5,300. Snoop has made a habit of gifting celebrities this chain when he meets them.
