Lena Headey was prepared to play fighter

Actress Lena Headey was well-prepared for her role as Queen Gorgo in "300: Rise of an Empire" because she used to fight a lot when she was younger.

Headey plays the role of Spartan Queen Gorgo in the film.

"I did a lot of training, which I love. I'm a tomboy. I used to get into a lot of fights. Don't know why, self-expression I guess. I got into boxing," contactmusic.com quoted Headey as saying.
