Lena Headey Gets A Lot Of "Game Of Thrones" Hate | CONAN on TBS

[@whatabouttheearth]

Who knew the evil queen was a shy British introvert...she is a great enough actress to fool us all and make it believable.

[@emin777]

She is a great actress indeed. I saw her first time in Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles playing Sarah Connor - such an amazing portrayal of an iconic character.

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

[@thunderlyrics232]

How is she shy? She did the walk of shame in front of hundreds

[@LSHSrandomness]

@@thunderlyrics232 she's said it was incredibly hard and nerve-wracking to do and they used a nude body double cause she was literally too scared to do it all herself

[@RebeccaHepworthPovey]

Vicente Garcia actually she was pregnant at the time and has lots of tattoos so that’s why they used a body double, was a lot easier for filming 🙂

[@bangjoeofficial]

How has she not won an Emmy. She is absolutely incredible as Cersei. I spent the first 5 seasons HATING her character and then by the end of season 6 she is one of my favorites. She is so good.

[@renx81]

It's because Dumb & Dumber keep pushing their favorites, Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke for Emmys each year. They keep writing scenes for that sole purpose, not caring about the plot of the show pretty much. They don't seem to realize the potential gold mine they have in Lena Headey.

[@renx81]

@Intelligence Injection Yes, it's an american TV programming awards show, and HBO is an american network.

[@muskanbansal121]

She is really not well appreciated for her work as much as she deserves

[@georgebrantley776]

@Nuby29 It's true it takes a ton of skill to convincingly playing a complex chracter, but Lena does well in Cersei in her own right. Her subtle expressiveness and how naturally she projects that role onto the screen takes impressive skill too.

[@kiri7678]

I’ve been in a few stage plays myself (more as a hobby/for fun, not for anything serious) and people often comment that ‘I’m so shy in real life’. So I really relate to this. On a stage, it’s like I’m playing a character and I’m confident playing this character because it’s not me. If the character is confident then I become confident. Whereas in real life I’m just playing myself, and as ‘myself’ is not confident, makes me hella shy haha

[@davidvondoom2853]

Acting is a great way for shy people to come out of their shells.

[@Mohadam17]

If you completely hate a character to a point when you cant stand them, the actor has done a amazing job. Being the good guy is easier. Lena and the guy who played Joffrey was arguably some of the best roles of any TV series. Tremendous

[@StefanConstantinDumitrache]

Ell3m3nta1 if you think Cersei has zero claim to the throne you don't understand power. The best claim to power is simply having it. The simple fact that Cersei sits on that damn throne means she's the rightful owner of it at the moment, regardless what others' claims are. It's a "come get it, motherfuckers!" kind of situation. If she can hold onto power against all odds, then she deserves it fully, no matter what any customs and traditions and rules might say. Those can be changed.

She is such a lovely woman.

[@vith26]

"Why you terrified? We're idiots!" HAHA LMAO

[@kiannahom]

The fact that she managed to evoke such strong reactions from viewers is a testimony to her acting ability. Queen Cersei literally came to life due to Lena Headey's great portrayal of the role.

[@mattalley5064]

Wow, it boggles my mind that people really cant differentiate between a character that an actor plays and the actor. It always amazes me when people cant believe that someone playing a notable antagonist is a nice person outside of that role, which she certainly seems to be, or when someone known as playing protagonists isnt a nice person away from the camera.

[@rainstorm193]

How is Cersei the antagonist? She's just playing the game of thrones like everyone else.

[@touxiong765]

i couldn't agree more. people see the characters actors play and assume that's how they really are. it's just a job.

[@DarkAngel7717]

Ya the poor kid that plays joffery gets dished on a lot but everyone from the cast talks about how nice he actually is.

[@MrZangetsu468]

Matt Alley People don't realise that those are actually good characters. Then again, most people can't experience life outside of their own ego.

[@eagann92]

People are stupid

[@Noodles_321]

Lena Headley reminds me of Keira Knightley, if u know what i mean.

[@TheAlex5079]

They have similar voices

[@MrTheenDx]

They have the same look of jaw and teeth.

[@JotaP1n]

Although Lena is a great actress...

[@jojocool1932]

TheSmilingSun No, I don't...

[@seoshicreese6678]

NuSh the way she speaks is same with Keira

[@velveetaslingshot]

Its so weird how she doesn't look anything like the character on the show. Total transformation.

[@paijaja9046]

I love the way Conan makes her comfortable to be on the show. Good job Conan!

[@nasra1996ne]

Cersei FREAKING Lannister has "..a crush on Ron Swanson" - Ergo - Loves Parks and Recreation!!!! A Brit ...loves Park and Recreation!! I'm so happy right now!!!;-)

[@nasra1996ne]

I love you!

[@nasra1996ne]

What about??

[@nasra1996ne]

Guys..I got this. I just meant Im happy Parks is well known in the UK. That's all. I don't know anyone who has heard of(before I told them) about Parks let alone watches it.

[@AnnBoylen]

Nasra Elmi He's cute but looks like an animatronic character lol

[@nasra1996ne]

Ann Boylen Who Ron???

[@connorharperadams]

Does anyone else think she looks ten times hotter as a brunette?

[@connorharperadams]

Gellvos Yeah, that kinda sucked :/

[@runmonsta]

She's ugly

[@jocelynfray.5685]

Chaynez N Fayme pls go have ur eyes check nobody cares about your opinion -_- dont call my bae ugly.

[@runmonsta]

I care about my opinion, my eyes are 20/20 and she's a dog.

[@connorharperadams]

Chaynez N Fayme Sshhhhh

[@Mmaz13]

At least it means she act very well! If you dislike the character THAT much then she has portrayed her character perfectly :) People do still realise that herself is not the same as the character, but it's just what comes to mind when you see her.

[@LaughingOwlKiller]

yea Like the Kid that plays Joffery..I can't stand that little &*%#..but that means that kid is an awesome actor...

[@Flamurtheamazing]

LaughingOwlKiller he's 20 lol he's not a kid

[@LaughingOwlKiller]

Falrok Lakro so he is, one he still looks like a kid and two I still have a bit of trouble thinking that someone born while I was in 3rd grade is over 20 now.

[@Fitness4ver]

Watch an interview of Jack Gleeson(Geoffery) he's really cool.

[@lollipopfop9965]

Falrok Lakro Actually when I see Joffrey I think he is a kid of 16 or younger…when I see Jack the actor, I realize I am looking at a college aged person in their early twenties. He is a great actor.

[@blackbriderhaena]

She is my favourite in cast, amazing actress... Her mimics, her emotions, her facial expressions, her tone when she is speaking. She is so talented...

[@dovestones]

She's also really good in Dredd

[@guyincognito2512]

+dovestones Just watched it today. A very decent movie, was pleasantly surprised. I think it might have done better if not for the original.

[@whocares6139]

[@longlivelife3173]

+I Review lol not lol

[@whocares6139]

Victor Raphals-Kath K

[@longlivelife3173]

I Review lol tho

[@yodeiu4u]

"Man, he's smooth" LOL

[@Tracer_Krieg]

"Thank you. I'm also a little nervous to be seated next to the House of Lannister." Gets me every time.

[@jcuttyfoe]

Crazy to know how confident cersei is and then to see lena here actually be nervous as hell. Gave me a new found love and respect for her as a person and actress

[@andyabdullah3324]

She is an amazing actress. Her acting is always so great and convincing, making you hate the character and intrigue by her actions. I am still really amazed that some people still can differentiate real life and fiction. Damn.

[@mathenis]

Book Cersei is much much much worse than Show Cersei, so dont hate the actress, she is amazing

[@OmarMohamed-ze7jy]

+Legend71377 did you read it?

[@Raz337]

Omar Mohamed No... thats why im asking?

[@OmarMohamed-ze7jy]

Legend71377 don't act like im the dumb one here you're comment was stupid so i thought you were being sarcastic

[@Raz337]

Omar Mohamed wtf?

[@Raz337]

Omar Mohamed I am acting like you're being the weird one because I'm NOT provoking anyone. I just signed onto youtube to apparently be apart of a youtube argument I didn't even instigate or wish to have.

[@Tulipstarful]

loved her as Ma-Ma in Judge Dredd too.

[@poleag]

Tulip Star Yeah. Don't fuck with the Ma-Ma clan.

[@davethepak]

She is an amazing actress - so cute, shy and adorable here - but able to brilliantly act incredible characters (300, purge, GOT, etc.).

[@alternativejasper3937]

Is it bad that I really like her character?

[@deerlord2363]

No.

[@JerryMetal]

Yes.

[@KpopComplex]

Maybe.

[@yay2dmax]

Some people are turned on by Ramsay Bolton so you're good

[@sreliet605]

i like her too...she is smart and sneaky and she knows what she wants. she is passionate about her family...

[@123Jokkmokk123]

Nick Offerman wold be brilliant i Game of Thrones! He would just stare his enemies to death!

[@DRGIZMO29]

he's ser davos' stunt double

[@notdaveschannel9843]

Ron of House Swanson, first of his name.

[@js-wz7sd]

Bend the knee. No.

[@paigesilva827]

She plays a character and she does it well, it is called acting lol ! It never ceases to amaze me how out of touch with reality some people are.. People who can not differentiate between fact and fantasy should be on some serious medication. JS..

[@poodzdie2078]

Seeing Cersei laugh like a normal human is so strange lol

[@potato-whiz]

Who knew she was so shy? She's an amazing actress!

[@anneneville6255]

them men next to Lena looks like Davos

[@OtaconAlonsus]

That is Sir Ronald Swanson.

[@DiggingPlotHoles]

OtaconAlonsus Ronald of House Swanson. The sigil is a glorious large mustache against an amber cloth. "All your bacon. All your eggs."

[@marinop.245]

ADOGSNIPER95 Long live Lord Ronald of House Swanson!

[@shaileshjoshi7912]

Maureen Kitty My exact thought....! :D

[@SherAFG]

Maureen Kitty more like Ron Mopatis

[@jothugs]

Queen of westeros and sparta.....

[@paulkellerman2603]

and Camelot

[@Zsupernova]

Paul Kellerman i am not sure but she is also the queen of the Jungle. Moglis Gf or something, lol

[@MariusThePaladin]

And also mother of the world saviour...

[@Pouk3D]

And an ultimate drug lord of the Peach Trees complex.

[@internziko]

Pouk 3D YES!!

[@Original-Juice]

She's so silky smooth. I could listen to her for days on end.

[@kanameow]

Lena is an amazing actress, it kind of bothers me that people can't compliment her on her acting rather than channel their hatred for Cersei at her... can't imagine how that must just get to you after a while.

[@UyenTheTiger]

Your name though xD

[@kanameow]

UyenTheTiger Will always wield this identity so fans #nevarforget

[@behunt93]

yeah everyone loves jofferys acting so why not cerseis

[@ComicWriter232]

Whenever someone hates an actor/actress for the characters they play, all I can think is, "You do know this is fiction, right??" Like in Breaking Bad with the woman who played Skylar, who btw I hate too, apparently fans legit hated her (meaning the actress) and I'm just like........................................I'm done. People are so stupid. I doubt it's like that for Lena Headey, but still, what the fuck people.

[@OperaSpider]

I couldn't believe when I first heard of such scenarios that there are actually people in the world who don't know that A. The characters are fictional and the actors are PAID to say those lines, and B. The actors DON'T WRITE the lines and usually have nothing to do with the writing. Sadly, people apparently are that dumb. Even in a local play I was in where I was the lead role (who was also the villain/murderess), I had a few people come up to me afterwards and call me a bitch. Granted most of them did it in an endearing way (complimenting my portrayal of the character), but a couple of them seriously lectured me about my 'cruelty'. I was like, "Um, you know I didn't write my character, right? And the guys who died in the play are standing right here next to me..."

[@ComicWriter232]

OperaSpider Yeah, people are stupid.

[@IronHarper]

If you cause people to hate you through your character, you're doing that shit right.

[@ComicWriter232]

IronHarper You're goddamn right! :D

[@BlackWolf18C]

IronHarper Absolutely, I hated the character of Joffrey and I give total respect to Jack Gleeson for bringing out all the anger inducing qualities that character portrays in the books. Everything from his demeanor in scenes to the sincerity in how he delivers his lines makes that character really come alive on-screen. I love it.

[@Nr4747]

Never imagined the actross playing Cercei to have such a "Rock n Roll" attitude about her. When I googled Lena, I wasn't surprised that she married a musician.

[@tadhggoreyoneill13666]

I love how she laughs when he says "I find some redeeming qualities in her"

[@damaliamarsi2006]

The fact that people confuse Lena with Cersei proves how incredible of an actress Lena really is. Much respect!

[@daCubanaqt]

That and how dumb people are! She’s an actor doing her job. People who cannot separate the the person from the actor is why we have stalkers, tabloids, and constant intrusion into the lives of famous people.

[@DaveMiller2]

@@daCubanaqt Exactly. She is good, but people are idiots.

[@elbagrau]

She talkes and articulates like Her character "MaMa" in "Dredd" (a very interesting movie).

[@addilouis1337]

No way, that was her?? Damn!

[@elbagrau]

Addi Louis Yup, that's MaMa in person :)

[@The_Real_Frisbee]

Addi Louis It took me about an hour into that movie to realize that it was her playing MaMa.

[@TitanFind]

Dredd is great.

[@Abbzeyxo]

Wut that was her

[@Nate9-9]

Yes, Cersei is a villian, but she is a great villian, I don't hate anyone in this show or book series (even Joffrey), all of the characters are amazing in their own way

[@Spartansoldier217]

I hate Joffrey, love his character and love the actor who portrays him.

[@lollipopfop9965]

ALAN BROWN I don't think that would stop her….but why are we talking about Cirsei here…isn't this about Lena?

[@Nate9-9]

in my original comment here I was talking about the character of Cersei, but yeah the acting on Lena Headey's part is spot-on

[@gazpacho7432]

Guys i've found awesome GoT rpg :o look it up - po.st/uayNaM

[@MickLeadham]

Let's not confuse this gorgeous lady with her character ❤she is amazing , love her ❤
