The Untold Truth Of Hannah Waddingham

In the sixth season of "Game of Thrones," Cersei gets revenge on Septa Unella by waterboarding her, pouring wine into her mouth until all but drowning her. That scene is brutal to watch, and, according to Hannah Waddingham, was even worse to film. 

"And there I was strapped to a wooden table with proper big straps for 10 hours. And definitely, other than childbirth, it was the worst day of my life," she said in interview with Collider. By the end of the day, she "had no voice at all to barely whisper, bruises already coming up like I'd been attacked, and I was like, 'I've basically just been waterboarded for 10 hours.'" Her onscreen torturer Lena Headey concurred, telling Insider that Waddingham "had a really s**t time doing that scene."

However, Waddingham clarified in an appearance on "The Talk" (via Yahoo! Entertainment), there was another part of her statement that hadn't been featured in the original interview. "But what I said at the end of it that wasn't picked up on, was I would 100% do it again," she said. "Because being given the chance to be on something like 'Game Of Thrones,' you have to go there."
