Lena Dunham, who directed Ramsey in the excellent 2022 comedy Catherine Called Birdy, told me in an email interview, “I know every director who works with Bella never wants to let her go.” She added, “I consider Bella a true lifelong friend, and was amazed because I went in determined to be a force for good in her life as the older and ‘wiser’ one, and Bella quickly proved to me that her own wisdom was all-encompassing.” “They can do as many games as they like, as many series as they like, and I’ll be here, flying back out to Canada.” She’s already watched gameplay from Part II, which features an older, more violent version of the Ellie we meet in the original. “Forever,” she tells me, when I ask how long she’d be willing to commit to The Last of Us. Despite the genuine joys of self-discovery she experienced on the set of The Last of Us, Ramsey, who uses she/her and they/them pronouns interchangeably, is still hesitant to affix herself with labels. “All the fear goes away; all the panic goes away; all the stress goes away,” he says. (Today, she says her faith has transformed into something less church-directed and into “one that [is] totally my own,” though it is still “a fundamental part of my life.”) But she knew the time had come to stop denying herself. “It took a long time, actually, for me to accept that I was Ellie, and that I could be her and that I was the right fit. In interviews and at work, she exudes an energy that one of her Last of Us scene partners, Euphoria's Storm Reid, calls “cool, calm, and collected.” Mazin says it’s something of a vanishing act. It was during production in Canada that Ramsey turned 18—on a day off, much to her chagrin—and it was while making The Last Of Us that she underwent a diagnosis process to learn she’s neurodivergent. “I guess that’s the first time that I ever felt something was shifting in my life.” She started online homeschooling soon after, and continued to film two additional seasons of Thrones, far more screen time than showrunners David Benioff and D. “I never really was an anxious kid,” she says of her youth in Leicestershire, England, where she joined an amateur theater group at the age of 3. Mazin and Druckmann met with Ramsey over a Zoom callback, for which Ramsey says she prepared with a vicious treadmill walk, during which she repeatedly muttered one of Ellie’s beloved curse words—in this case, “Motherfucker.” From there, Ramsey officially clinched the role, and Mazin had his Ellie.
