Also, Flynn was in relationships with his Game of Thrones co-star Lena Headey. Though nothing is revealed about their affair (which probably occurred in early 2000s and didn’t last too long), it’s evident they are on bad terms after that. They never starred in the same scenes at Game of Thrones and were even kept apart at the show set.
