300 actress Lena Headey was diagnosed with clinical depression as a teenager, and still suffers from the condition. Headey, whose school days were "really hard", blames her troubled childhood for triggering her continuing depression.

She says, "I was diagnosed when I was 15, and it comes and goes. I may suffer from it once or twice a year, but I now recognize it and deal with it. I don't use medication because I'm so worried about becoming dependent on it, but I can understand people who do, because you do go through the most horrendous feelings of isolation."

The 33-year-old star, who once ran away from home as a teen, occasionally has suicidal thoughts today. She says, "When the depression comes, it's very intense and you can't see beyond it."

Lena Headey, who plays Queen Gorgo in the new movie 300, may be a good reason to buy a ticket. You may be thinking, “But hey dude, I went to History class, I remember the battle of Thermopylae, don’t they all die?” The answer is yes. Yes they all die. And the “good guy”, King Leonidas is completely humiliated and beheaded and his head is kicked around the town for all to laugh at. GREAT FUCKING STORY. Right? Kinda that sheep’s stomach filled pie of haggis-y awesomeness known as Braveheart. Great flick. Except for the part about, EVERYBODY DYING. If I want to see reality, I’ll just turn on CNN and cry myself to sleep again. Where was I?

Oh yeah. Lena Headey is naked for most of the movie. Or at least she should be. Nothing smooths over a shitty ending like gratuitous nudity. In case you’re wondering, Lena is the actress who played Angelika the German chick with the Scottish accent, in the Brothers Grimm because that’s how accurate that movie was, more precisely…nudity!
