“I’m not 100 percent straight”: Bella Ramsey opens up about their sexuality
After opening up about their gender identity earlier this year, Bella Ramsey has confirmed they’re not “100 percent straight”.
In an interview with British Vogue, the actor expanded on their comments about their preferred use of pronouns, saying “they/them” is the “most truthful thing” for them. “That’s who I am the most,” Ramsey explained, before adding of their sexuality: “You never fully know who you are, it’s ever-evolving.
But I certainly think that people have gathered that I’m not 100 percent straight. “I’m a little bit wavy, you know? That’s what I like to say.” Ramsey, who rose to fame as Lyanna Mormont on Game of Thrones, earned critical acclaim and worldwide recognition as Ellie in HBO’s post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us.
Ahead of the series’ debut earlier, Ramsey told The New York Times that their 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,” said the star, who opts for “non-binary” on a form when it’s an option. “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,” they said.
