\"At Sundance, they kept asking me about it. I said, 'I go up some stairs. I go down some stairs,'\" she recalled laughing.
As Thrones approaches an inevitable end, Headey already has other exciting projects.

She stars as a female wrestler's mom in the British drama-dy \"Fighting With My Family.\"
\"I grew up with British wrestling, which was literally like giant overweight guys in unitards putting down pints of beer and their cigarettes and just sort of body-slamming each other,\" Headey said.
She said, \"You can't avoid WWE. It's huge. The fandom is rampant.\"
Duane \"The Rock\" Johnson also stars in the film, but Headey's only \"moment\" with him was off-screen.
\"I didn't meet him. We kind of high-fived at Sundance, that was my moment with the Rock.\"

\"Game of Thrones\" returns to HBO April 14, 2019.
