Known for her role as the relentless Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thronesactress Bella Ramsey has returned home, the platform HBO Maxto play the protagonist of The Last of Us, Ellie, the new series that adapts Neil Druckmann’s video game of the same name. However, although she plays a woman, the actress says she does not feel identified with this genre.

“If someone calls me by the pronoun ‘she’, I don’t even care, but I know that if someone called me “he”, it seemed a little exciting to me“Ramsey said in an interview with The New York Times in which he explained that he did not feel identified with having to put pronouns, and that he considers himself only a “person”.

“I really feel like a person. Having a gender is not something I particularly like, but when it comes to pronouns, the truth is that I couldn’t care less”, explained the actress, who later acknowledged that the negative reaction on networks had hurt her after it was announced that she was going to play Ellie,

“There are times when I find it funny. So I’m scrolling on my mobile for 10 minutes and when I stop I realize that it was a bad idea. It’s only recently that I’ve accepted myself as Ellie, that I know I can do it, that I’m a good actress. But that only lasts a few weeks, then everything is horrible again,” says the protagonist of The Last of Us.
