| The Guardian | ‘I’VE ALWAYS FELT TOO OLD AND TOO YOUNG AT THE SAME TIME’: THE LAST OF US STAR BELLA RAMSEY ON SWAPPING CHILD STARDOM FOR CULT TELEVISION – AND CELEBRITY TRAITORS | 1 hr ago |
Bella Ramsey, 22, reflected on a decade‑long career that began with their first TV role as Lyanna Mormont in *Game of Thrones*, explaining how that early start has made the label ‘actor’ feel odd. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Ramsey discussed swapping child stardom for a more adult‑oriented cult television career and the challenges of being called a celebrity.
The interview was held in a London café that Ramsey described as a "creche for older people," filled with men and their dogs for morning tea. According to The Guardian, Ramsey said, ‘It feels like it belongs in the Midlands. It feels a bit, like, shit and familiar,’ noting that their East Midlands upbringing still comforts them. Ramsey, who uses they/them pronouns and identifies as non‑binary, has worked professionally since age 11 and now feels both younger and older than their stated age depending on the moment.
Ramsey’s early exposure to adult environments—working on a high‑profile series and interacting with adult cast and crew—has shaped their view of fame, making the transition to adult‑oriented cult TV feel both natural and challenging.
