Game Of Thrones actress Lena Headey, 45, who plays Julia in the movie, told her 1.8 million followers to “sit your a****s down and watch the movie”. Appearing make-up free with glasses placed on her forehead, she excitedly said: “Hello everyone on Instagram and the world. “Fighting with My Family is out today init… so get your tickets, sit your a****s down and have a laugh.” She concluded the video by giving a wink to the camera.
Many of her fans flocked to her page to comment on the announcement.
One user commented: “It’s so good! If I see a funnier film this year, I’ll be blessed.”
A second wrote: “Can’t wait — as soon as it’s out in Italy I’m going.”
A third added: “Can’t wait to see it sounds great.”
Lena stars in the film alongside a star-studded cast including Florence Pugh, Dwayne Johnson and Stephen Merchant.
Earlier this week, the actress appeared on This Morning to speak about the movie and also discussed Game Of Thrones’ ending.
The actress has been playing Cersei Lannister in the fantasy show since 2011 and will feature in the upcoming final series.
The cast of the show’s season eight have so far remained tight-lipped about what happens in its final ever series, but Lena admitted she couldn’t resist telling her family what happens.
Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, she said: “I mean when we got the scripts, you would just flip straight through to the end and say ‘yes, I’m still alive, I’m still employed’, but now its over. It’s done.
She added: “I don’t have to wear that wig any more.”
Earlier this month, Lena spoke out about being a mum while being one of the show’s most familiar faces.
The actress is a mother two son Wylie, eight, and daughter Teddy, three.
She told the Times: “I have two children and my actual life is my kids.
“This getting out of a cab and there are people there? It doesn’t happen much.
“Sometimes someone will go ‘Oh, are you Cersei?’ in Tesco, but my life hasn’t really changed.
“I get more [work] opportunities, but my escape is my reality, which is my kids — the sofa, games, making dinner they’ll never eat.”
