Trivia

Tattoos: on her arm saying "Jason" in Thai; right upper arm; between shoulder blades; extensive tattoos on her back.

Ex-fiance of Johnny Cicco.

Born in Bermuda, her family moved to Huddersfield, Yorkshire, when she was five, and lived there until she was 17.

Her father, a police officer, was sent to train in Bermuda shortly before she was born.

Ranked #64 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2007 list.

Had to learn how to skin a rabbit for The Brothers Grimm .

As of January 2008 was living in the Laurel Canyon area of Los Angeles with her husband and their two dogs: Wizard and Angela Lansbury.

Was in a relationship with Jerome Flynn that ended on such bad terms that when both were cast on "Game of Thrones" , each had a clause inserted into their contracts that they would never share scenes and must remain apart on set.

Has 2 children - a son Wylie Elliot Loughran (b. March 31, 2010) with her ex-husband Peter Paul Loughran and a daughter Teddy Cadan (b. July 10, 2015) with her boyfriend Dan Cadan.

Has an extensive number of tattoos on her back.

Was pregnant with her son Wylie much of the shooting of "Game of Thrones" s Season 1. The production team was so enthusiastic about her performance that they didnt recast the role but instead worked around it. For example, directors kept the camera frame above her waist or had her sit at a table. For wide shots when Cersei was walking around, most of her costumes had large billowing sleeves which she carried in front of her to hide her pregnancy. At other times body doubles were shot from behind in quick cuts. She was in the early stages of pregnancy with her daughter Teddy when Season 5s filming ended and gave birth to Teddy the same month the season has premiered.
