Game of Thrones star Lena Headey channels Cersei Lannister and bluntly explains why she won't watch HBO's prequel show House of the Dragon.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Game of Thrones star Lena Headey has given a short and decidedly blunt explanation about why she will not watch House of the Dragon. Considered one of the most complex and fascinating characters in HBO’s adaptation of George R.R.
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Headey was asked if she had an opportunity to watch the new prequel show House of the Dragon, which premiered in August last year. After indicating that she had not seen it, Headey was asked why she had not familiarized herself with the latest show. Her blunt and perfectly concise response was one worthy of Cersei Lannister herself.
Yet among the many assorted villains to grace viewers’ screens during Game of Thrones’ original run, none seemed to possess even a fraction of the complexity, enduring appeal, or sheer longevity of Headey’s Cersei Lannister. While House of the Dragon certainly has its own share of characters increasingly willing to forsake their own integrity in exchange for power and position, Headey’s commanding performance in the original show has set a nearly impossible bar for anyone else to follow.
Even House of the Dragon’s Alicent Hightower, whose own love for her children and fierce desire to protect their claim to the Iron Throne directly echoes Cersei’s own, does not seem to possess the same intense and single-minded sense purpose that eventually drove Cersei to claim Westeros for herself.
