Brunch with Lena Headey (Brunch with Bridget, Episode 59)

In this very special episode of Brunch, Bridget welcomes the star of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and 300Lena Headey. Lena, an outspoken Baby Bridget-hater, gives a gun-shooting tutorial, dishes on her first kiss with Imagine Me & You co-star Piper Perabo and talks about her passion for directing.  

The girls also fight over the nutritional value of gummy bears and reveal their upcoming horror film, Deadly Dress 4.

I wrote a transcript for this episode

I thought this eppy was awesome. If you're having trouble with the player, you can still read what happen! Check out the forum topic I made called:

BRUNCH TRANSCRIPT: Lena Headey

I combined the dialogue from the web version and the televised version. 

There are some quotable quotes in there! :)

girl.'s picture

YES.

I have been waiting for this for about a month now..

I love Lena Headey. :)

Soph's picture

Yeah

I know what you mean, I remember reading somewhere on here that Lena would be on the show and since then I've been so excited for this. Worth it! Lenas 'come on zombies!' was awesome.
Annie's picture

Uh...

a) I totally have those ninja socks.

b) There are not words to express my adoration for Lena Headey (Laid to Rest anyone? HILARIOUS. And also such satisfyingly gruesome death scenes)

c) Happiness.

OMG *THUD*

Wooo.... feeling a little woozy from the awesomeness. Also, I've never seen/heard an interview with her before and I hadn't realized that she sounds exactly like my family, which is slightly odd, wasn't expecting that. Plus the hat that appeared out of nowhere about halfway through was adorkable :)

 

Oh and most perfect ending to a video ever!

Could she possibly be any cuter?
limors's picture

Goddamn frakkin player.

I knew there was a reason I stoped watching things on this website, and I just rememberd what it was.

mmmariek's picture

me too

yep me too! I stopped watching videos as well because I need 5 hours to watch a video of 20 minutes... 

 

 

girl, 20, charming but insane...

limors's picture

Then I was lucky!

It only took me a bit more then 1 hour.

 

Funny episode, though! Worth all the anger and frustration over the player. But I'm not going to make it a habbit, I'll stick to watching TJO and thats it...

dutti2901's picture

ditto

i'm with you on that one! i used to watch pretty much every vid here, but since they have the new player it's a pain in the a** and takes forever... i hate it because i feel like i miss a lot but i'm just not patient enough to sit in front of my laptop for hours to watch a 25min video!

maybe they'll notice the complains and switch players again! (pun intended!)

softfurbear's picture

it only took me an hour to watch

actually no, it was more like 45 mins but it was so worth it. Ah Lena... Thank you for the interview Bridget!!! I would have loved to have seen her tatoos also especially since what I've seen of it, the one on her arm is beautiful. Now imagine an interview with her and Piper? (Swoons at the thought)
lenageek's picture

Lena on BWB = A horny, ahem, happy Lenageek!

Been waiting for this for a month and stayed up until 2:30am to see it on LOGO before it was posted on AE!

Lena hot under the covers...pant, pant, as I thud to the ground! So adorable in her pjs w/Bridget!

'From my cold dead hand, you get this banana!' Ahahahahaaa!

The acting lesson was full of win! And why does Lena hate poor Baby Bridget so? :0

'Haagen Dazs piss on Ben & Jerry's' - LOL!!! Those Brit expressions make me LMAO every time!
 
I couldn't breathe at the end since I was laughing so hard at the pillow fight! A peek at Lena's sexy back tats - WHOO HOO! And a perfect ending with Lena's head popping up from the floor right in front of the camera.
 
Genius, Miss Bridget and Miss Lena. Pure genius...

Off to watch.!!!

Best BwB ever!

Lena is awesome! I'm all "high" now because of this. Off to watch it again! ;)

 

Save TTSCC!!!

JaggyL's picture

Yay! As someone who lists

Yay!

As someone who lists her religion as "Lena Headey" on Facebook, I think it's safe you say I've been excited about this. And I thought Liz Feldman getting Emily Deschanel and Melanie Lynskey was huge!

Lena was hilarious as Bridget's creepy roommate too, I love how she's been getting involved with After Ellen projects. I think she's going for number 1 on AE hot 100 ;-)

Dug it madly

 

I just finished hackysackin' for an hour and this Ep. was a especially nice treat...followed by popcorn, toffee bars, and wine.  God, must exercise more. Goddamn it. It never ends. Look how wonderfully compact Lena is and strong too apparently.  Where are my weights?

Anyway, I totally dug that episode. Very fun interview. Lena and Bridget rock.  Especially because I can finally say Lena's last name correctly.  Extra points for that.

islandchick's picture

Best BWB Ever!!

Lena is hilarious!  Wish I had a spare two mil to fund what would surely be a smart and funny film. 

Nuff said ==================>

Clara's picture

excitement!!!!!! btw, AE

excitement!!!!!!a few mins in! born awesome! haha her reaction was awesome, = fitting. love her accent (i'm english but hers is just a really awesome version)

btw, AE is the reason I'm totally gonna fail my exams (i hope not!), just so you know. so i guess i won't be a supersmart Sarah-type... but at least there is such good entertainment free on the net... i can always just give up at life and just sit online all day.. (jk)

ah bk at uni, i forgot what fast internet was like!

also a film Lena is in (If Only) was on TV the other day! sorry thats probably really annoying for those outside the UK or who missed it.. but i recorded it! watched about 15 mins, to do with time travel? and kinda 'Sliding Doors' (released in same year) /'Butterfly Effect'-ish? sounds good! but its at homeeeeeeee, and i just got bk to uni.... can't watch it until summer :( my dad better not delete it! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138590/ - oh, apparently its mainly called 'The Man with Rain in His Shoes'.. but where? surely its a UK film? but its uk title isn't its main one. hmm. a decade old, should be interesting to see!

edit: and apprently its called "Twice upon a Yesterday" in the US.. how many names can a film have?! :p they're not even different due to language translation. its interesting, i wonder why the name changes. what they think will do well in each place?

Mara's picture

She's cute AND funny...

Thank you Bridget (and AE) for an interview with the yummie goodness that is Lena Headey. She's cute and funny - and finally someone who doesn't fall for Baby Bridget's charms ;)

Too bad the pillow fight was so short! I was hoping on more action. And, oh dear, that sneak peek of Lena's back tattoos *drool* that sealed the deal. If I weren't smitten already, I'm now smitten with Lena even more :p

I'm off to take a cold shower!

What I wouldn't give...

What I wouldn't give to be Bridget as I sit here this morning watching enviously this BWB episode with Lena Headey in Bridget's bed. 

Sunday could not have gotten off to a better start.

My only question is, after Lena Headey, where do you go next? Here's hoping for Crystal Chappell in BWB, but then I might keel over for good. Or how about Lena's partner in crime Piper Perabo?

Thank you Bridget, Karman and the whole gang at AfterEllen! 

There was only one thing missing... Bridget should have had Lena show us her tattoos. After glimpsing the one on her lower back, I was curious to see the rest.

oh she should have. Lena's

oh she should have. Lena's arm tattoo is SOOOOO pretty

If i'd get any tattoo it'd be that except i don't really want soeone's exact tattoo on me, also it wouldn't have a speicific meaning, but yeah. google it

Lena is beautiful and seems very down-to-earth.

Good work Bridget and AE.

Gummie Bears :)

Yummmm gummie bears!! I'm adddicted to...you can't help it they're addicting.

Great show as usual!! The pillow fight had me laughing a lot :)

SLAYERSRULE's picture

This looked like a good episode, can't wait to see it!

Bridget Mcmanus rocks!!!!! This looks like a really good episode. I was only able to see bits and pieces and not the whole thing yet. I have fallen so very very behind on a lot of stuff, and BWB episodes being one of them. I'll have to defintely get caught up when I can. Cannot wait to see this one. I thought Lena was really good in Imagine Me & You with Piper Perabo.
Di's picture

Ha, I just love Lena's

Ha, I just love Lena's wicked sense of humor. She is fantastic. Great interview Bridget. And her accent is beautiful.

Looking forward to Lena's film and of course 'Deadly Dress 4'...wherever that turns up. A dress that kills? Awesome. (is Stacie Ponder involved?)
Carolina87's picture

Pure Awesomeness!!!

Fantastic show!! Thank you for having so many wonderful guest on Brunch. Lena is amazing and omg is she beautiful!!

anyone else thinks she looked like a sexier version of shane with the hat and glasses on?? maybe its just me XD!!! 

 I loved it <3
