On April 4 it was reported that Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is broke and now some details of her financial problems have surfaced.

She filed for divorce from her husband last year and now he requests half of their 2011 tax refund ($23,000). In response to this demand Lena filed legal documents where she said: “At the present time, I have less than $5 in my bank account and have been using credit cards to pay for living expenses for myself and our son Wylie.”

The actress also explained that they faced money difficulties when she stopped working because she got pregnant. Lena and her husband got married in 2007 and in 2010 she gave birth to their son. After that she couldn’t work for a while and they “burned through their savings” and “incurred a substantial amount of consumer debt to pay for our living expense during marriage.”

All this sounds unbelievable given that Headey currently plays a lead role in an extremely popular TV show. However, she says that she will receive her acting income in the near future but she needs $6,000 immediately from the refund.
