Lady Godiva? No, it’s 'Game of Thrones' Lena Headey

A nude scene in the upcoming season cost a reported $200,000

When Cersei walked nude through King's Landing, she was surrounded by the Kingsguard and townspeople were forced to avert their eyes.

Except this was Lena Headey, the actress who plays perhaps the most dangerous Lannister on Game of Thrones. But the precautions were pretty elaborate anyway.

The show shelled out $50,000 a day, according to TMZ, to shoot Headey's scene. More than 200 private security guards were hired to lock down the Croatian set and local shopkeepers in Dubrovnik were paid to keep their establishments shuttered.

For the full nude scene, there were reportedly only four crew members present, all required to sign confidentiality agreements, with hefty fines.

If the fifth season follows George R.R. Martin's book, A Dance of Dragons, this is not a sexy stroll by any means. We'll have to wait until April to find out for sure
