'Game of Thrones' star Jerome Flynn plays down his supposed feud with Lena Headey

Since Jerome Flynn first appeared in Game of Thrones in season two, as the silver-tongued sell-sword Bronn, two and two has been put together with regards his relationship with Lena Headey.

The two were an item for a while, in what was described as 'a turbulent relationship' in the tabloids around 2002, but have reportedly known each other since they met on the set of Solider Solider in 1993.

But a story which emerged in 2014 in the Daily Telegraph, citing a crew-member on the show as the source, claimed that such was their hatred for each other, they could film any scenes together.

“Jerome and Lena aren't on speaking terms any more and they are never in the same room at the same time,” the insider reckoned.

As such, this has entered into the series' off-camera folklore, but Flynn shot down the rumours during an appearance at the Con of Thrones in Nashville over the weekend.

During a Q&A session, one fan asked Flynn: “As we know that apparently you and Lena Headey couldn’t be in the same scene together, I wonder how did you guys manage this logistically? Was it the source of any troubles on the set or production?”

The question ushered in a groan from the crowd but Flynn addressed it nonetheless.

“We were actually in the same scene together,” he said.

“And the last time I saw Lena we were speaking, so I wouldn’t believe everything you read, and like I said, [the media] can get pretty desperate for stories.

“Lena’s a wonderful person and a wonderful actress.”

So there we have it.

Indeed, as Flynn says, the pair did appear in a scene together, during the season three premiere Valar Dohaeris, though it's a rather icy moment, Headey walking past the newly anointed knight Ser Bronn of the Blackwater without saying a word.
