Mac started gaining attention when she began posting photos of herself as the Queen of the Dragons from the set of the fantasy drama based on George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels.

According to Metro UK, Mac had been standing in on the show's fifth season. Currently 18 years old, Mac moved to Marbella, Spain when she was 10 years old.

Although some reports refer to Mac as a stand-in and double for Clarke, an HBO Representative told Business Insider that she was only a stand-in.

What's the difference? A stand-in is typically used to set cameras and lighting while the actor is away, while a double is used on-camera for stunts, sex scenes and other scenes actors are unable to do or won't do.

Also, despite what Mac's boss and star of Dublin's "Real Housewives" series Virginia Macari told Ireland's Sunday World, don't hold your breath waiting to see Mac in her own role on "Game of Thrones." An individual close to the show told Business Insider that producers may have discussed an extra role for Mac, but it never came to be.
