LONDON -- Everyone's favourite Game of Thrones badass proved she's just as fearless in real life -- by taking part in a 15,000ft skydive to raise money for charity this weekend.

Williams jumped out of a plane at the maximum height possible to raise money for both Mencap -- which supports people with learning disabilities -- and the Dolphin Project, which aims to protect dolphins from exploitation.

"I will be jumping out of a perfectly good, working airplane at 15,000ft to raise awareness for @Dolphin_Project," Williams wrote on her crowdrise page. "Seriously debating whether I should just quite this acting thing and become a skydiver."
