Lena Headey Gives 'Game of Thrones' Cersei Lannister Touch to 'The Bachelor'

Jimmy Kimmel apparently has the most fun of his life whenever Lena Headey visits his late night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live. This time around, the host asked the actress who plays Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones to read quotes from The Bachelor the way the Westeros queen mother would, and it's obviously the most amazing thing on television.

According to The Daily Mail, the Emmy-nominated actress appeared on Kimmel's show last Monday to promote her latest film, action-period-dramedy Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, so the host decided to keep with tradition and ask her to get into character. His goal? Getting the star to go full Queen Cersei on the reality show about dudes giving ladies roses.

Of course, Headey, who seems to be downright adorable in real life and therefore the complete opposite of her infinitely vicious HBO character, was gracious enough to read some quotes from The Bachelor while channeling Cersei. Obviously the result was amazing, even despite the fact that the 300 star has never actually seen the competition show.

Kimmel's logic for putting Headey up for this (besides the fact that it's just a hilarious idea) is that he admires the actress' way to "say the meanest things in a very cool way," comparing Cersei's drinking to that of the ladies from The Bachelor.

Back in 2014, Variety reported on the first time the actress visited Kimmel's show when the host asked her to Cersei things up. In that first segment, Kimmel had the lights dimmed and gave Headey a goblet of "wine" as prop, so she could get into the skin of the iconic fantasy character. After he asked her whether it was hard for her to play the TV queen or she was naturally that way, Headey's response was just becoming of a Lannister.

"You have such a way with words," she said. "I wonder if you'll be as clever when I have your tongue ripped from your throat."
