‘Game Of Thrones’ Actor Shows A Softer Side On ‘Sesame Street’ [Video]
Lena Headey, best known as the villainous Cersei Lannister on HBO’s Game of Thrones, showed a softer side when she stopped by Sesame Street Thursday.
Headey was on-hand to help a panicked Muppet Murray introduce the Word of the Day which, un-coincidentally, was “relax.”
Though Murray clearly needed the Word of the Day more than Headey, the stunning 39-year-old actress proved to be far more down-to-earth on the program than she ever is as icy Queen Regent Cersei on the bloody HBO program that made her famous.
Aside from graphic violence, Game of Thrones is often, controversially, rife with nudity. In a recent interview with Vulture, Headey shared a bit about why she hasn’t gone nude for the show yet and what it’d take to get her to:
“I’ve said from day one that I’ve got no problem with nudity. I’ve done it throughout my career. But for this character, it’s been better for her regality and her feistiness to not bare her flesh until she has to. When it’s out of her control. And if that ever happens, it won’t be Cersei being seductive or sexy. She’ll be stripped. That kind of a scene will have more power if it’s not an everyday occurrence. I can’t wait for that.”
Fans of George R.R. Martin’s novel series know that Headey might actually be hinting at something there…
Anyway, watch Lena Headey as you’ve never seen her before acting all adorable and non-Cersei on Sesame Street below.
