Fans rant to Bella Ramsey about GOT ending
Nearly 5 years since Game of Thrones ended, becoming of one the most hated seasons in television history. Bella Ramsey revealed on the show how she meets fans who still rant about the ending and how they hated it. Ramsey said,
“People like to ask me what I thought of the ending. And I ask them back, “What did you think of it?” I don’t know, I don’t have an opinion. I just let them either hate on it or talk about how great it was — mostly hate on the ending for like 10 minutes, and then I just sit there and listen and then say, “Goodbye, nice to meet you,” and then that’s it. Generally, the consensus is that it wasn’t great… It seemed fine to me.”
The show was once extremely renowned, however, season 8 looms like a dark cloud on all the accumulated fame. The show ran out of source material too, as George R.R. Martin himseld did not know how to end the story.
Bella Ramsey came out as Gender Fluid
The Last of Us actress came out as gender fluid in a recent interview with The New York Times. She talked about how she does not care what her pronouns are, but would be excited if someone called her ‘he/him’.
“I guess gender has always 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 actor also emphasized on how it is something she is exploring and not very sure of. When Ramsey was asked if she would identify as non-binary, the actor concluded that she is “very much just a person.” and also emphasized that she does not put a lot of weight on pronouns or gender as such.
“Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less.”
With this, Bella Ramsey also expressed how pleased she was that the Critics Choice Awards was in a gender neutral category, instead of Actress. She was nominated for best young actor/actress for the film Catherine Called Birdy.
Catherine Called Birdy is streaming on Amazon Prime, and The Last of Us airs weekly on HBO.
