Lena Headey plays Cersei Lannister, the ultimate villain on HBO’s Game of Thrones. So viewers watched with a bit of sadistic glee when the character was literally and figuratively dressed down to be paraded through the streets of King’s Landing in nothing but a short haircut and smears of filth.

The scene is intense and humiliating and drawn out so the audience can experience her awkward humiliation. The craziest part, however, is that we’re not even watching Headey in the scene. The entire walk is performed by a body double seamlessly merged with Headey’s facial expressions and body language to make one awkward, horrible walk to the Red Keep.
