As Game of Throne comes to an end and the entire cast behind the show return their costumes to their appropriate places, it is only natural to have a sense of attachment to the show where they worked for so long. As a result, a lot of the members in the cast have taken a souvenir of sorts from the set as a keepsake of their time at the filming of the epic show.
However, the case is simply not the same for the actress behind Cersei Lannister as Headey reveals that she took nothing but simple memories from the Game of Thrones set. She must either be really fond of it or perhaps she does not need a keepsake to remember all the times which she spent there. However, she did reveal in an interview about how she liked the moments with the rest of the characters that she had filmed.
“I liked the stuff I did with Charles Dance, who played my dad,” says Headey. “It’s all been glorious. The main thing was all the stairs all over King’s Landing are really slippery, so the outtakes are just full of all of us going ‘uughhyh’!”
In fact, she even mentioned that she was happiest about not having to take one particular thing around with her. As most fans of Lena might be able to guess, it was Cersei’s wig which she had to wear every morning before her scenes were shot. She was apparently so angry about having to wear the wig, that it helped her channel herself into the character of Cersei.
“I didn’t take anything…I just couldn’t wait to get the wig off,” says Headey about the wig. “I was like, ‘Yeeeesss!’ I never have to wear it again!”
She touched and covered a fair few other topics in the interview as well including who’s most likely to spill the beans about the new season, which is probably why Kit Harrington isn’t appearing on quite as many interviews these days. She also revealed how the last day of her shooting was not the last day of shooting for the show, but also reminded viewers that they don’t shoot in any specific order.
“To play the bad guy is just such good fun,” says Headey about Cersei. “I can do all the things I can’t really do in my life.”
In the end, she also revealed how she thought that Game of Thrones would never be a success when she initially started acting based solely off the pilot script. However, the show caught on rather virally and made sure she could never be more wrong again in her life. Right now, she enjoys the direction which the show took and remains rather excited about the very final season of the show. However, she did not reveal anything about the show herself till the end and avoided all questions rather cunningly. This means that everyone has to now wait for the final season of the show to be released.
