On the set of the series Game of Thrones, actor Pedro Pascal was particularly fascinated by a certain colleague. He was not alone in this.
For some time now, Pedro Pascal has risen to the top and won the hearts of the audience. Not only did he play Joel in the series The Last of Us, but he was also the Mandalorian in the namesake Star Wars series and plays an important role in the upcoming Gladiator 2.
Previously, he was already part of the cast of Game of Thrones and appeared in a very memorable scene. His duel against the mighty “Mountain” impressed the fans – today Pascal describes himself as much less physically fit.
Right there, on the set of Game of Thrones, the actor met a colleague who immediately fascinated him. However, her character is anything but nice.
“One of my favorite people”
Which actress is it about? We’re talking about Lena Headey. In the series, she plays Cersei Lannister, a character that you probably don’t remember for her friendly demeanor.
On the contrary, she is one of the nastiest characters in the series. In reality, however, she seems to be a very kind person, which speaks even more for her acting skills.
Pedro Pascal talked about working with the actress during an Ask Me Anything on Reddit. When asked about his highlight on the set of Game of Thrones, he named Lena Headey. He described her as follows:
Lena (Headey) is one of my favorite people. And she is (in life) so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend, and a good mother, I believe everyone on set and everyone who comes into contact with her instantly falls in love with her. Whether man or woman, one quickly falls for her. And I was just lucky to be able to work with her and got along well with her, and we are still friends.

With his enthusiasm for Headey, Pascal is not alone. Another well-known actor from the series has also taken a liking to the actress.
Who else is enthusiastic? Peter Dinklage, who plays the series’ brother Tyrion Lannister, also got along well with Lena Headey. This is, of course, very good for collaboration on set and affected the thoroughly nasty end result. Pedro Pascal’s own role in the series was originally supposed to be played by someone else – but he quickly grabbed it himself.
