Game Of Thrones’ Battle Of Winterfell had a real MVP in youngster Lyanna Mormont – but the actress who plays her won’t even know how much butt she whooped anytime soon.
The 15-year-old actress, real name Bella Ramsey, has been banned from watching the bloody and brutal show by her parents until she’s a more appropriate age.
Speaking to LA Times, she explained: ‘I’ve been watching Season 8. And I’ve watched a bit of Season 7. I’ve not watched the rest of it. I’ll probably watch it all when I’m 18, maybe.
‘There’s a few bits where my mom and dad just stand in front of me.’
‘I was pretty excited. I think it’s a great death,’ she added. ‘If you’re going to die on Game of Thrones’ at least die well.
‘There’s been so many deaths over the series so I was very happy to be given the death that I did. It’s heroic, which I’m very grateful for.’
Bella has previously praised her amazing death – admitting in a backstage video interview she either wanted an epic death, or to end up on the throne.
In The Long Night’s Battle Of Winterfell, ruler Lyanna went charging after the undead giant that was laying waste to anyone and everyone around them.
Picking her up and crushing her bones into dust, Lyanna cemented her legacy as a fan favourite by making her last move on this earth and stabbing the giant in his shiny blue eye, killing him off too.
‘I think it’s very fitting for Lyanna to die doing something like that,’ Bella laughed. ‘Stabbing a giant in the eye.’
Now the battle is won, Daenerys, Jon and the remaining live soldiers of their joint army are making way for King’s Landing – where Cersei Lannister is waiting for them.
Game Of Thrones continues Sundays on HBO and Sky Atlantic.
