been very fluid 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 the star said she takes non-binary if it is an option on a form before adding I'm very much just a person being gendered isn't something that I particularly like but in terms of pronouns I really couldn't care less she almost lost out on the Last of Us rolled a Game of Thrones co-star Ramsay almost lost out on her major new drama role in The Last of Us to a fellow Game of Thrones star The Last of Us tells the tale of 14 year old Ellie who is rescued from the end of the world by fellow Survivor Joel with the pair traveling across the U.S to safety before hitting screens producers had looked to adapt the much love The Last of Us video game into a film rather than a TV show with Ramsay nowhere on casting agent's radar at that point however someone close to the star could have bagged the role in her place in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Naughty Dog president Neil druckman revealed Macy Williams who played Arya Stark in Game of Thrones was the first choice they wanted the lead to appear both tough vulnerable and wise beyond their years he also believed the young star would need to have a darker side too something Williams had shown on screen as Arya but by the time the project turned to TV she was deemed too old for the role the process started again with Ramsey who had also starred in cbbc's the worst witch put forward for the role within a month of her audition she was cast some fans of The Last of Us series had been critical of Ramsay's casting but the leicestershire star says she felt a connection to Ellie and had ignored the dissenters she told The Hollywood Reporter I've seen everything I'm aware of all of it it was my first experience really with a lot of negative reactions she was encouraged not to play the game ahead of filming she has revealed that the show's producers requested that she not play the game before filming began in the spirit of Ellie herself though Ramsay didn't play entirely by the rules she told USA Today that she skirted the line by watching some of the game on YouTube I was actually encouraged not to after my first audition they asked me have you played it and I said nope and they said keep it that way I did watch some of the gameplay on YouTube just to get a sense of it she perfected her The Last of Us American accent by swearing British actress Bella Ramsey has an impeccable American accent and her latest HBO series she used curse words to master an American accent during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden she said I had a dialect coach which was helpful the first phrase I mastered was olive oil it's really hard like olive oil she joked that her most helpful accent prep was a laundry list of swear words yeah because the character that I play in this show The Last of Us Ellie curses every two seconds so that was definitely important there are so many she struggled mentally due to her anorexia nervosa diagnosis in October 2018 Bella Ramsey tweeted that doctors had diagnosed her with anorexia nervosa in 2017 but had struggled with the disease since 2016. she wrote that doctors couldn't identify the event that sparked the eating disorder there isn't always an answer but let me tell you this there's always a way out there's always light at the end of the tunnel no matter how dim it might seem I am fortunate to have reached that light at moments it felt non-existent but it was always there she said that she overcame anorexia nervosa through her religious faith and support from her family her experience inspired her to become a mental health advocate in December 2019 she announced that she'd become an ambassador for young minds a mental health charity for young people she is setting her sights on directing as well ambitious Bella Ramsey has previously said she would like to direct a film she has written speaking to the AV club she said I've written a film that I'm hoping to make and direct this year if it all goes to plan I've always been watching what other people do at their jobs especially the directors and sort of picking out things that I want to do if I was directing or things that I would do differently and so yeah I feel like I'm in a place where I would love to have the opportunity to be behind the camera as well however she will have to hold off for now on her directing career as The Last of Us is set to film season two later this year foreign
