Game of Thrones fans furious at bad CGI effects in Lena Headey’s naked walk of shame LENA Headey is being tipped as a hot contender for an Emmy award since her powerful walk of shame in the Game of Thrones season finale — but she may want to consider sharing that glory with a faceless other. Headey’s Cersei was forced to atone for her sins by dramatically walking naked and bruised through a crowd yelling obscenities and throwing faeces. Fans were outraged — but not just because of the brutality. Sleuthing viewers were quick to notice that Cersei’s body didn’t quite match up with Headey’s. Double trouble ...

Much of that included discussions of her boobs and comparisons to her work in previous roles and photo shoots. “I thought the (breasts) were too good to be true,” one user commented. “When the boobs got bigger, it was the body double. Lena doesn’t have much assets,” wrote anothe Cruel punishment ... Cersei, right as she was stripped, shaved and forced to walk the str Cruel punishment ...

Some also pointed out she was likely pregnant at the time of filming — and there was certainly no sign of a baby bump in that taut bod. But Headey, 41, had already confirmed she used a body double for most of the humiliating scene. She told Black Juddy the sequence took three long days to shoot in which she and her double had to recreate each step of the walk. Still, that doesn’t mean fans can’t voice their disappointment that the show makers — who manage to make dragons look terrifyingly real — can’t seem to get their body double technology right. blackjuddy.blogspot.com
