Bella Ramsey Talks 'Game of Thrones,' Katniss Everdeen, and Working With Pedro Pascal
The Last of Us actor has become one of Hollywood's biggest It stars of the year, and they're just getting started.
At 19 years old, Bella Ramsey has already established quite the career. From the brave Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones to the witty Lady Catherine in Catherine Called Birdy to their leading role as Ellie in The Last of Us, Ramsey knows how to put on a performance. And yet, their natural talent for acting wasn't a passion they always knew they had. "I didn't really grow up watching many movies or TV shows to be honest," the actor tells L'OFFICIEL. "I never knew I wanted to be an actor either. But I'd say when I saw Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games — I didn't know if I really processed this like 'I want to be an actor,' but I remember watching Jennifer Lawrence and being like 'I want to do that.'"
Below, the actor speaks to L'OFFICIEL for their cover shoot about meeting Kit Harington (Jon Snow), working with Pedro Pascal, and having never played "The Last of Us" game before getting the part for the show.
