Lena Headey Shares 'Game of Thrones' Final Day Details on 'Kimmel' - Watch Here!

Lena Headey stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night (January 24) and opened up about the upcoming eighth and final season of Game of Thrones!

The 45-year-old actress discussed everything from the script to which character she’s rooting for. “I’m gonna be honest, I’m not rooting for your character. I mean, are you rooting for her?,” host Jimmy asked.

“Someone has to,” Lena said. “Yeah, no, I’m hoping that in the end somebody is on the Iron Throne, but I don’t necessarily want it to be you. It’s nothing against you.”

Lena also talked about the show’s filming process and how each cast member is given all the scripts at once: “They usually give us all of them, and if anyone says they don’t flip to the end, they’re lying,” Lena said, referring to the show’s tendency to kill off main characters.

Lena Headey Details Encounters with Harvey Weinstein: 'I Felt Completely Powerless'

Lena Headey has released a lengthy statement on Twitter adding her name to the list of stars who have had encounters with Harvey Weinstein where they were subject to sexual misconduct.

“The first time I met Harvey Weinstein was at The Venice Film Festival. The Brothers Grimm was showing there, (during shooting I was subjected to endless bullying by the director Terry Gilliam). At one point Harvey asked me to take a walk down to the water, I walked down with him and he stopped and made some suggestive comment, a gesture, I just laughed it off, I was genuinely shocked. I remember thinking, ‘It’s got to be a joke.’ I said something like, ‘Oh come on mate?! It’d be like kissing my dad! Let’s go get a drink, get back to the others.’ I was never in any other Miramax film,” the 44-year-old Game of Thrones actress wrote on her Twitter account.

Lena Headey Reveals the 'Game of Thrones' Death That Left Her Heartbroken

Lena Headey is on the cover of Net-a-Porter’s The Edit, where she was interviewed by Game of Thrones co-star Maisie Williams!

Here’s what the 43-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On casting directors wanting her to flirt with them for jobs: “When I was in my twenties, and doing a lot of audition tapes in the States, a casting director told me: ‘The men take these tapes home and watch them and say, Who would you f***?’ I’ve never played the game of going in [to auditions] and flirting; I’ve never done it.”

On suffering postpartum depression while filming: “[Filming was] really horrendous – I was postnatally depressed but I didn’t know it. I saw a doctor for the medical check, and I just burst into tears. She said I was postnatally depressed and I went, ‘Am I? Why is that?’ I saw a great guy and he sorted me out, but I did the first year [on Game of Thrones] in that space, figuring out motherhood and going through a weird time personally. It was tricky.”

On the Game of Thrones death that left her heartbroken: “Last season I was doing [post-production] in LA and watched Hodor’s death. I was just weeping. The technician said, ‘Are you OK?’ and I went, ‘I didn’t know, I didn’t know he died.’ I was beside myself; genuinely heartbroken.”
