She caused unimaginable misery in Game of Thrones but now Cersei Lannister is feeling the wrath of Star Trek: Discovery star Michelle Yeoh.
Lena Headey and the Hollywood powerhouse have teamed up for a new movie Gunpowder Milkshake, and the two leading icons of the small screen are giving us life behind-the-scenes.
Clearly a huge fan of Michelle, Lena shared a video of herself charging up to the Crazy Rich Asians actress’ trailer to wish her an unnervingly excitable hello.
Sadly for Lena, Michelle wasn’t quite as enthusiastic, urging the 45 year old to ‘f**k off’.
‘She’s just funny,’ Lena anxiously cackled. ‘I LOVE HER SO MUCH IT’S ANNOYING.’
Game of Thrones may have come to an end two months ago but there’s absolutely no sign of slowing down for Lena. As well as her new flick, she’s also starring in Netflix’s highly-anticipated animated series, Dark Crystal, alongside Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nathalie Emmanuel, Caitriona Balfe, Helena Bonham Carter, Natalie Dormer, Eddie Izzard, Toby Jones, Theo James, Mark Hamill, Jason Isaacs, Simon Pegg, and Andy Samberg.
That. Is. Wild.
And then she’ll also be starring in upcoming dramedy Rita because why stop there?
According to TVLine, Lena will be facing off against authority while juggling life as a single mum.
In a statement released by Showtime, where the series will set up home in the US, network president Jana Winograde said: ‘Rita is a deliciously subversive character who will make you laugh and cry as she continuously challenges the hypocrisy around her.
‘It goes without saying that Lena Headey is a force whose essence is ideal to take on this wonderfully dynamic lead role.’
Just last month, Lena joined the Game of Thrones fandom to slam Cersei’s dreary death as King’s Landing collapsed around her while she perished in the arms of her lover, Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).
