Lena Headey is broke

Game Of Thrones star Lena Headey has filed legal documents stating she is flat broke and has "less than $5 in her bank account".

The actress, who has also appeared in movies such as 300 and St. Trinian's, is currently going through a divorce from her husband Peter Loughran, who has filed paperwork demanding a 50 per cent share of a $46,000 tax refund which is due to the couple from authorities.

Headey filed a response to his claim, revealing she has asked for a $6,000 advance on the tax return to cover her living expenses because her current financial situation is so dire.

In the papers, obtained by TMZ.com, Headey states she has "less than $5 in her bank account" and is living off a credit card as she is waiting on payment from her acting jobs.

A judge denied Loughran's request for half the money.
