Sure, Cersei blew up half of King's Landing, forced Ellaria Sand to watch her own daughter rot, tortured Tyrion well into adulthood, and committed a dozen other heinous crimes—but Lena Headey still has her back.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night, the Game of Thrones star confirmed that she remains firmly on Team Lannister heading into the series' final episodes.

"I'm gonna be honest, I'm not rooting for your character," Kimmel said. "Are you rooting for her?"

"Someone has to," Headey retorted.

Honestly? Fair. Check out the entire interview to catch up on details from Headey regarding the cast's final goodbyes, the fate of Cersei's "turnip" wig, Headey's next big project, and more.
