Lena headey thrones nude scene

Lena Headey's nude body double has described the shocking 'Walk of Shame' in the Game of Thrones season five finale as "the hardest but best experience of her life". Rebecca Van Cleave stepped in to play Cersei Lannister as she walks through Kings Landing in her birthday suit, being pelted with everything from rotting fruits to bodily fluids. Her head was then replaced with Headey's by the special effects team and she now has "naked Cersei" listed on her IMDB page. Sounds horrific right? Fortunately, the year-old actress and model found the gruelling three days of filming "wonderful".

Washington D.

Expressing sadness over the end of the much-awaited series, Headey said she will miss the show but would be eager to strip herself off the "the itchy turnip," the cropped wig.
