10 TV Show Scenes Actors Refused To Shoot

Keeping in the vein of actors not being able to co-exist on the same set, a show famed for its ever-twisting relationship drama and venomous stares from a distance did its level best to avoid the real thing in the case of Lena Headey and Jerome Flynn over the course of shooting Game of Thrones.

For those unaware, before the pair took up the reins of Cersei Lannister and Bronn, Headey and Flynn were involved in a relationship together. But with their romance ending on a particularly sour note, it was said that Headey wasn't overly keen on filming scenes with her ex, despite the two being involved in a decent amount of storylines together.

However, Flynn has since gone on record to admit that he did actually share a scene with his former partner down the road, with the two being on speaking terms before declaring, "I wouldn’t believe everything you read..."

Though the two look to have patched things up over time, the lack of scenes between them earlier in the series, despite being largely in the same King's Landing locale for a time, does suggest that things weren't always rosy between them whilst shooting in Westeros.
