Cersei and Tyrion Are Actually BFF
Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey must be pretty darn good actors because although Cersei and Tyrion Lannister seem to hate each other on screen, in real life, they are actually good friends. In fact, Dinklage even helped get Headey the role – he recommended her to the producers. They often end angry and tense scenes together with jokes and laughs after the cameras stop rolling.
Sometimes Life Imitates Westeros
As the only known Targaryen in Westeros, Maester Aemon performed his role as Maester at Castle Black. His advanced age robbed him of his eyesight before the show began, but he retained capacity of his wits. Similarly, the actor who played him, Peter Vaughn, also endured partial blindness. Like Aemon, Vaugn died peacefully at age 93 in 2016.
