Game Of Thrones stars who play Oberyn Martell and Cersei Lannister on the hit HBO show were spotted shopping together at The Grove in Hollywood and showing adorable affection as Lena Headey laughed with Pedro Pascal’s arms wrapped around her, reported the Daily Mail.

Even though Chilean actor Pascal, who played a major character in the fourth season of the show, and English actor Headey, who plays the ambitious and cunning Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, share no love interest within the series, in real-life, the pair certainly seemed very affectionate towards each other.

While they have yet to confirm their relationship, Headey who is a mother of four-year-old son Wylie with ex-husband Peter Loughran, regularly posts pictures of her and Pascal on her Instagram page and  recently posted a picture of the duo’s faces together with a caption, ‘Sunshine love’.

During an interview on Reddit, Pascal revealed how he feels about Headey, “Lena is one of my favorite persons. And she (in real life) is so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend and a good mother. I think everyone on that set and anyone who comes in contact with her develops an instant crush,” he said. “Talk about male or female, you’re going to get a crush on her easy. And I was just lucky that I got to work with her and hit it off and continue being friends.”

Pascal starred in one of the more unforgettable episodes in the last season of Game Of Thrones, in which his character, Oberyn Martell, dies at the hands of Ser Gregor Clegane.

At the end of season four, Headey’s character Cersei and her daughter-in-law Margaery Tyrell played by Natalie Dormer made it clear that there was no love between them in their quest of power. Soon after the death of King Joffrey, played by Jack Gleeson, Margaery set her sights on her late husband’s younger brother, Tommen Baratheon (Dean-Charles Chapman), who has inherited the ‘Iron Throne’.

According to Game Of Thrones author George R R Martin’s books, the ambitious noblewoman faces the wrath of Cersei who plots to have her framed for adultery.

The 39-year-old Pascal has appeared in several television series, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Good Wife, Homeland, The Mentalist and Graceland, while 41-year-old Headey was seen in major films such as The Remains of the Day The Jungle Book Onegin and Aberdeen.

Season five of the Game Of Thrones will air in April 2015.
