Bella Ramsey, the British actor who gained fame for their role as Lyanna Mormont in 'Game of Thrones,' reflects on their journey in the film industry. Having begun acting at the age of 11, Ramsey never anticipated achieving such success in acclaimed shows.

Ramsey, who identifies as non-binary, recently revealed the insights they've gained on their acting journey, especially through their role as Ellie in HBO's 'The Last of Us.' Despite early self-criticism, Ramsey has become more self-assured, understanding that one imperfect scene doesn't define their work.

'The Last of Us,' a narrative rich in post-apocalyptic themes, offered Ramsey the chance to showcase Ellie's evolution, from being protected to becoming a fierce protector. Ramsey shared that filming during the COVID-19 pandemic amplified the show's realism, drawing parallels between fiction and reality.
