Bella Ramsey hates looking back at her Game of Thrones performance

Game of Thrones star Bella Ramsey won millions of hearts playing the young and brave Lyanna Mormont on the HBO fantasy epic, even though her role was short-lived. She accurately portrayed the proud and quirky young warrior as she stabbed a giant wight during her last battle at Winterfell. However, she does not like looking back at her breakout role.

Why does Bella Ramsey avoid looking at her Game of Thrones scenes?

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, she explained why she doesn’t like watching her own performance in Game of Thrones, “What I do mind is watching myself and then realizing that everyone else is seeing it, too. That’s when it’s weird. I liken it to looking back at your Instagram posts and captions when you’re 18. You’re not that person anymore. You’re not posting inspirational quotes anymore.” 

How does Bella Ramsey feel when someone is watching her Game of Thrones scenes with her?

She recalled when her mom put on her Game of Thrones scenes while watching TV with her, “I can’t do it anymore. Sometimes my mom will just pull it up and watch it and I’m like, “Stop it. Cut it out.” Yeah. No, that’s not fun. I used to be a lot worse with it. I really used to not be able to stand it. But now I think enough time has passed. That was eight years ago now for me. I feel like I’m officially entering middle age.”

Will Bella Ramsey return as Ellie in The Last of Us Season 2?

Yes, she definitely will. In a recent press conference, the game’s creator and co-showrunner Neil Druckmann assured the fans that Bella Ramsey will continue playing Ellie in The Last of Us season 2. He said, “We are extremely lucky to have Bella…and the only way we would ever consider recasting Bella is if she said, ‘I don’t want to work with you guys anymore,’ And even then we’re not sure we would grant her that. We might force her to come back this season.”
