Queen Cersei sides with Ewan McGregor, slams Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson out of contest for Conservative Party leadership - BBC News

LONDON If there"s one person you really don"t want to get on the wrong side of, it"s Cersei.

Boris Johnson who argued for the UK to leave the European Union, won, and then announced yesterday that he wouldn"t be running for prime minister after all no longer merely has the wrath of a nation to contend with.

Now, it appears he"s also upset the current ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.

Following Johnson"s announcement yesterday, Twitter went into a frenzy of memes. Plenty of celebrities also chipped in with their thoughts, including actor Ewan McGregor (who, judging by the tweet below, wasn"t exactly thrilled with Boris" recent decisions).

Late Thursday night, Lena Headey (a.k.a. Cersei "Burn them all" Lannister) took to Twitter to back him up.

Ouch.

She wasn"t the only Game of Thrones actor to support McGregor, either.

Daniel Portman who plays the mild-mannered Pod in the show and also retweeted McGreggor"s original post made his views pretty clear, too.
