Game of Thrones star Lena Headey shared the details behind her choice to use a body double during her nude “Walk of Atonement” scene in Season 5.

Headey, who earned five Emmy nominations for playing the ruthless Cersei Lannister in the hit HBO series, received blowback from fans in 2017 when her use of a body double became public.

The actress was stunned at the idea that she’d “duped the audience” and said she had the confidence to set boundaries for herself on set.

She had become so well-known at that point that “it was insane simply going anywhere, and I was with 3000 extras,” Headey said in a https://www.telegraph.co.uk/radio/what-to-listen-to/lena-headey-interview/" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/radio/what-to-listen-to/lena-headey-interview/">new interview with The Telegraph. “Acting is a joy, but it requires a lot of you.

I wouldn’t have been able to do the emotional part of the job; I’d have been in full-on defensive mode.”
