“She came around and sat next to me, she squeezed my nipple and went, ‘shame,'” said Lena Headey. That’s putting the cart before the horse, but whatever. It got your attention.
According to the story that she told James Corden back in 2016, Headey was in the hospital following the birth of her second child after the airing of the “Game of Thrones” episode “Mother’s Mercy.” The “shame” scene had already made waves, and the actress’s night nurse was, apparently, a pretty big fan of the series.

Contrition came hard and fast for the healthcare worker — “She was like, ‘I can’t believe I said that!'” Headey recalled. Still, you have to wonder how often this sort of conflation of “Game of Thrones” and reality happens, and whether or not Emilia Clarke is going to get set on fire by the guy at the crematorium at Jason Mamoa’s funeral.
