“Game of Thrones” star Lena Headey’s $1 million salary per episode has been revealed by her former husband British musician, Peter Loughran. Headey who is popularly known as Cersei Lannister is now facing a nasty custody battle against Loughran over their 6-year-old son Wylie.
According to TMZ, last week Loughran filed a petition in the courts to make Headey pay for his attorney’s fees amounting to $40,000. Peter’s strong defense was that he is not capable of paying for the fees since he is jobless and that his ex-wife is earning a huge pay cheque. With Lena’s salary, Peter strongly believes that she can afford to pay for spousal support.
As Loughran claimed, "Lena has a very large income from Game of Thrones and other film projects.” He added, "I have very little money and do not receive support. I cannot afford to pay my attorney, and require [Headey] pay those fees and costs in order to have equal footing in this matter."
Headey already complied with Loughran’s previous court wherein she was asked to pay him $20,000 for his legal fees as reported by E News. Loughran has been receiving $9,000 for child support and only lives in a $3,300 worth rented unit.
To add more injury to the situation, Loughran seems to imply that he sacrificed his former job as hairstylist because Lena wants him to tag along with her. Lena encouraged him to quit his job and to travel together as part of her job as an actress. He was also the one in charge of taking care of their son.
Meanwhile, Jobs & Hire shared that with the return of “Game of Thrones” season 7, fans will not only see Khaleesi or Jon Snow but also Irish UFC Champion, Connor 'The Notorious' McGregor will also make an appearance. “GOT” season 7 is scheduled to air in June 2017.
