Lena Headey thought her life would be easier after Game of Thrones ended

Game of Thrones stars have been landing major roles in almost every big franchise ever since the show got hit. From Marvel to DC and other great production houses, the film industry has benefitted a lot from their immense talents, but there are times when an actor has to choose between projects and it’s not an easy choice. Actress Lena Headey who played Cersei thought that her life would change after the show ended, but it wasn’t so easy to move on.

Lena Headey wondered “what to do” after Game of Thrones

Lena Headey, in a recent interview with People Magazine, said, “Thrones was such a surprise. But there was no part of me that went, ‘Oh, it’s done now. Life’s going to be easy.’ It opened doors, it made certain things easier. It also made things feel harder because you think, ‘What do I do?'”

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?’”

What is Lena Headey doing now?

Lena Headey will star as Dorothy Hunt, the wife of E. Howard Hunt, a mother of four and an active CIA asset in the upcoming HBO drama The White House Plumbers. Dorothy tries to hold her family together while entangling herself in her husband’s catastrophic misadventures. The series is broadcasted weekly on HBO and HBO Max starting May 1, 2023.
