Lena Headey

Lena Headey is a British film actress. She gained popularity as Cersei Lannister in the television series Game of Thrones.

Lena Headey is a British actress who was born overseas. The celebrity was born in Bermuda, where her father, a Yorkshire police officer, served. For 5 years Lina lived in the archipelago, after which the girl's family went to Foggy Albion. The future actress spent her childhood and adolescence in Yorkshire.

However, at that time the girl did not make plans for the acting profession, she was more attracted to the world of fashion and style. Headey dreamed of becoming a hairdresser, becoming famous in the modeling business, but once a photo of 17-year-old Lina fell into the hands of an agent who was selecting the cast for the film "By the Water". After the casting, in which Headey took part out of banal curiosity, the girl was invited to shoot a film. Lina accepted the offer.

Headey's debut film was "By the Water". The actress carefully prepared for the filming of the picture. The girl took boxing and horse riding lessons. As a result, the first role turned out to be an excellent start in the creative biography of an aspiring actress. In the creation of Stephen Gyllenhaal, Lina appeared on the screen along with the already famous actors Jeremy Irons and Ethan Hawke.

The next 5 years after the release of the first film turned out to be very intense. Lina starred in 12 films. The filmography of the actress was replenished with tapes: "The Rest of the Day", "The Century", "Hunger", "The Gang of Gold", "Grotesque" and "The Great Merlin".

The film "Aberdeen", released in 2001, proved to be successful for Lena Headey's career ascent. This role allows the performer to win the Best Actress nomination at the Brussels European Film Festival. In the same period, two more films were released, which were positively assessed by critics and viewers - "Gossip" and "Onegin".

The subsequent roles turned out to be bright and memorable, although Lina did not receive any special awards. The situation was corrected by the film "300 Spartans", where Headey played the Queen Gorgo. This role brought the British woman 3 prestigious nominations. The popular peplum influenced the career of an actress, and Lina's photo appeared on the covers of the best newsreels on the planet.     

The British actress herself considers the most notable event in her career - the invitation to the role of Sarah Connor in the series "Terminator: Battle for the Future". For this work, Headey was nominated for a Saturn Award. The blockbuster "Judge Dredd 3D", the thriller "Reflection", as well as the action-packed films "Judgment Night" and "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" became significant in the career of the actress.

But all of these previous successes have been overshadowed by the popular Game of Thrones series, which has brought great fame to its participants.

The film "Game of Thrones" is the most ambitious project in which the British actress took part. In the cult television series Headey got the role of Cersei Lannister.

The fantasy series Game of Thrones has been broadcast on the American TV channel HBO since 2011. The film received 10 Emmy nominations, and a series of books by George Martin "A Song of Ice and Fire" became the literary basis for the creation of the cult tape.

Lina has been involved in the filming of the film for seven years, but the popular television series has already reached the home stretch, and fans of the film have begun to anticipate the events that are expected in the seventh part. Especially fans of the picture are watching the situation in King's Landing, where Cersei Lannister is sitting on the throne.

The actress is sure that her heroine will remain on the throne for a short time, and Cersei will be killed by Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams) or Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage). Such assumptions of the British woman are disappointing for fans, because fans who are familiar with Martin's epic fantasy novels do not agree with Headey.

The book says that Cersei will be killed by "valonkar", which is translated from Welsh as "younger brother". Tyrion falls under this definition, but many are sure that the queen will die at the hands of Jaime (Nikolai Coster-Waldau). Cersei was born a little earlier, which means that Jaime can be considered the youngest.

Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss do not hide their sympathy for Cersei. They remind that love for children is in the essence of the character, offering to reflect on what the heroine will be like now that her last child committed suicide.

The press has repeatedly reported that every bed scene with the participation of the actress is too expensive for HBO. Once the fans of the series even openly accused Headey of being dismissive of the audience. According to Game fans, they feel cheated as a stunt double replaced Lina in the spicy scene.      

The heroine Headey was imprisoned by religious fanatics for immoral behavior. To be free, Cersei had to cut off her hair and walk naked through the wilds of King's Landing, subject to the insults of the local population. The actress herself stated that she was not ready for such a test, so Rebecca Van Cleave (understudy) had to do the work of a British actress.

Nevertheless, Headey appeared in the streets in the nude. British publications reported that only the safety of such a video (The Path of Shame of Naked Cersei), which was filmed in Croatia, cost HBO $ 200,000, since additional security had to be hired to "clear" the perimeter from the crowd of onlookers. Nevertheless, the company tries not to comment on such messages.    

During the filming of the film "The Jungle Book" Lena Headey met with Jason Fleming. The romance that broke out between the actors lasted 9 years. The relationship was serious, and Lina even got a tattoo with the name of her lover in Thai. But this love was destined to fade away.

In 2006, Lina met musician Peter Paul Loughran. A year later, the couple legalized the relationship. In this marriage in 2010, the son of Wylie was born. But the very next year, Peter and Lina unexpectedly broke up.

In 2013, the British actress on the set of Game of Thrones met her Chilean colleague Pedro Pascal. The couple lived in a civil marriage, although for a long time they did not recognize their relationship in public.

In July 2015, it became known that Headey had a daughter, Tallulah Kiarra Headey. In 2018, the actress married director Dan Kadan. At the same time, the fans were sure that Lina gave birth to a child from Pascal.

Fans are often interested in the parameters (height - 166 cm, weight - 54 kg) of the idol, because it is known that in her free time Lina is engaged in yoga, which she became interested in while staying in India. She also loves boxing, which she takes lessons at the London Sports Center.

In 2019, Lina Headey reappeared as Cersei Lannister. The premiere of the eighth and final part of Game of Thrones took place in April 2019.

In addition, Lina played in the new film “Flood” a British immigration officer. The script of the picture is based on real memories of people who worked in the Home Office (British government agency for immigration control).

In an interview with reporters, the celebrity noted that there are security issues in the migration crisis, but the rules and norms need to be as close as possible to human ones. According to Headey, it is completely unfair that after the journey, refugees face large-scale difficulties, and the attitude of Europeans towards them is extremely negative, because, according to the actress, “the migration crisis has a large number of levels, but the main problem of the global disaster is people. ignoring the principles of morality. "

In April 2017, information appeared in the American media that the five actors who play the roles in "Game of Thrones" became the highest paid in the history of the series. In addition to Lina Headey, Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Nikolai Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow) are on the lucky list.

Surely in the future, viewers will see Lina in different images, because the actress understands that the roles of fantasy are not forever, and the realization and knowledge of other directions will help develop, comprehending new frontiers of the acting profession.
