The body double for Lena Headey, who plays Cersei Lannister on HBO's Game of Thrones, talked to EW about what it was like to spend days filming that disturbing Walk of Shame from the season finale. The one where she walked naked through a raging mob that pelted her with garbage.

She loved it.

Rebecca Van Cleave, whose naked body was combined with Headey's head through special effects, called the three day experience "gratifying."

There were reportedly 1,000 actresses who applied for the body double job, but Van Cleave was lucky enough to get the gig of walking nude through a crowd of screaming extras as they repeatedly shouted "whore" at her.

As for Headey, who performed the scene by walking alongside Van Cleave while wearing a flesh-colored bodysuit, Van Cleave said people shouldn't discount her performance now that they know she had a body double.
