On the set of the series Game of Thrones, actor Pedro Pascal was particularly fascinated by a certain colleague. But he was not alone in this.
Pedro Pascal has been at the top for some time now and has won the hearts of the audience. Not only did he play Joel in The Last of Us series, he was also the Mandalorian in the Star Wars series of the same name and plays an important role in the upcoming Gladiator 2.
He had previously been part of the cast of Game of Thrones and appeared in a very memorable scene. His duel against the mighty “Mountain” impressed fans – but today Pascal describes himself as being far less physically fit.
It was there, on the set of Game of Thrones, that the actor met a colleague who immediately fascinated him. 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 you probably don’t remember for her friendly nature.
On the contrary, she is one of the meanest characters in the series. In reality, however, she seems to be a very sweet person, which speaks even more for her acting skills.
Pedro Pascal talked about working with the actress in 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’s so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend and a good mother, I think everyone on set and everyone who comes into contact with her falls in love with her immediately. Whether you’re a man or a woman, you fall in love with her quickly. And I was just lucky that I got to work with her and got on well with her and we’re still friends.

But Pascal is not alone in his enthusiasm for Headey. Another well-known actor from the series also has a crush on the actress.
Who else is excited? Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister’s brother in the series, also got on well with Lena Headey. This is obviously very good for the collaboration on set and had an impact on 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 took it himself.
