Wanted better death for Cersei: ‘GoT’ star Lena Heady
“Game of Thrones” star Lena Heady says she has some complaints about the way her character Cersei Lannister met her death and she hopes to share her concerns with HBO showrunners David Benioff and Dan B Weiss over a drink soon.
Heady’s Cersei was crushed by falling masonry along with her brother-lover Jaime (played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in the penultimate episode of the show, which had its season finale on April 19. “I invested as a viewer and I have my favourite characters. And I’ve got a few of my own gripes. But I haven’t sat down drunkly with David and Dan yet,” the actor told The Observer in an interview.
Asked what she will say when she has that drink with writer duo, famously known as ‘D&D’, she said, “I will say I wanted a better death.” Heady said a character can be killed off in “any way” in the series, known for its uncertain plot twists. But she was “gutted” when she read how Cersei would die.
