'Game of Thrones' Actor Jerome Flynn Reacts to Those Rumors He Doesn't Get Along With Lena Headey

You can't make a show as impactful as Game of Thrones without a few rumors flying around regarding its cast. One such rumor that has surfaced a few times, both during the seasons and now the series is over, is the idea that co-stars Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey can't stand each other.

The rumors began after fans noticed that Headey, who played Cersei, and Flynn, who played Bronn, were in very few scenes together. Reports also claimed that because the two actors dated in real life, they would not film together.

But Flynn, as charming and in real life as his character in the show, answered fan questions at Con of Thrones in a panel moderated by Kim Renfro from Insider, and finally got to the bottom of the rumors.

According to Huffington Post, a fan asked, “As we know that apparently you and Lena Headey couldn’t be in the same scene together, I wonder how did you guys manage this logistically? Was it the source of any troubles on the set or production?”

The audience literally groaned at the question, according to the source, but Flynn answered, “We were actually in the same scene together. And the last
time I saw Lena we were speaking, so I wouldn’t believe everything you read, and like I said, [the media] can get pretty desperate for stories.”

Flynn added, “Lena’s a wonderful person and a wonderful actress.”

The 56-year-old actor reportedly answered more questions after, but none squashed any rumors like this one. Good to know the cast from Thrones still gets along, even if a couple of them have a romantic history.
