Game Of Thrones' Lena Headey Channels Cersei On Jimmy Kimmel Live!

  • 17 June 2014

"You have such a way with words, I wonder if you'll be so clever when I have your tongue ripped from your throat," are not the sort of sentiments one would expect when tuning in to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live! Unless you're Lena Headey and happen to play one of the most evil female characters on television, Game Of Thrones' Cersei Lannister.

Kimmel's round of verbal punches continued when he asked Headey: "You know you're so good on the show, is it a challenge to play Cersei or do you naturally suck the life out of every room you enter?" Unfortunately, Cersei/Headey had the last laugh as she not only threatened to rip out Kimmel's tongue but also implied his wife was less than impressed with his skills in the bedroom. Responding to Kimmel's "It's a pity this will be the last time [you're on the show]", Headey said "The last time... I believe your wife must say that to you every night."

The last episode of season four of Game Of Thrones aired in the US on Sunday (15th June) and in the UK yesterday (16th). Warning - Spoilers! The body count was, as with all of the show's finales, extremely high with Tywin Lanister (Charles Dance), Jojen Reed (Thomas Brodie-Langster), Shae (Sibel Kekilli) and The Hound (Rory McCann) all meeting violent ends. We also saw Cersei and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) reunited after Cersei revealed to their father the truth about their relationship and the paternity of King Tommen (Dean Charles Chapman).
