Bella Ramsey, 19, has revealed in an interview with the New York Times that she is gender fluid. The Game of Thrones fame actor was speaking to NYT ahead of the release of the HBO adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game The Last Of Us, where she stars as Ellie alongside Pedro Pascal as Joel. 

“I guess my gender has always been very fluid,” Ramsey told the newspaper. “Someone would call me ‘she’ or ‘her’ and I wouldn’t think about it, but I knew that if someone called me ‘he’ it was a bit exciting.”
