This is one Lannister who cannot pay her debts.
Lena Headey, who plays the opulent and evil Queen Cersei in “Game of Thrones,” claims to be royally broke in real life.
Despite starring in the hit HBO series, the 39-year-old actress claims to TMZ she has “less than $5 in my bank account” and in desperate need of her $46,000 tax refund from 2011.
Headey split with her husband, Peter Loughran, last year and is reportedly in a nasty divorce and fighting over custody of their 2-year-old son.
The gossip site reports that Headey filed legal documents in response to Loughran’s demand for half of their tax refund.
The report further says the actress claims to need an emergency $6,000 up front to pay for her daily expenses and to take care of her son because she is currently living off credit.
Headey wants the remaining $34,000 kept in a blocked bank account so they can’t touch the money until they reach an agreement on how they want it split.
Also in the documents, a judge has reportedly denied both Loughran and Headey’s requests.
It’s unclear why Headey, who’s also starred in “300” and as Sarah Connor in the “Terminator” TV series, is in such financial straits.
