Lena Headey and her children “don’t really talk about” her Game of Thrones career

Game of Thrones star Lena Headey is an amazing performer. When she played Cersei Lannister on the show, her evil queen persona was so powerful, that some fans began to despise her in real life. It might be one of the several reasons why she doesn’t really talk to her young children about her Game of Thrones days.

Lena Headey avoids talking to her children about Game of Thrones

In her recent interview with People Magazine, Headey talked about how she manages her career while having two kids. She said, “If someone says, ‘Oh, you’re in Game of Thrones’, my youngest now says things like, ‘What is Game of Thrones?'” Headey says. “In fact, the other day she went, ‘My mommy is in…’ And I was like, ‘You don’t tell people!'”

She recalled, “I just get love,” she says. “It’s weird when you’re on holiday with your kids and you’re in the midst of a sandcastle and someone’s like, ‘Hey!’ And you’re like, ‘Have you seen me?’ Those moments still happen, which are bizarre, but people are generally lovely.”

Lena Headey says Game of Thrones hype was ‘weird’

In an exclusive interview with Newsweek, Headey admitted, “Yes, it’s died down, thank God, because it was weird. And, not in any s***** way. You kind of go, ‘OK, that was amazing and unexpected,’ and then you’re like, ‘What’s next?’”
