Before gaining public recognition thanks to the series The Last of Us by playing Ellie, Bella Ramsay had begun her career in Game of Thrones. She played Lyanna Mormont, a character close to Jon Snow, sharing the screen with Kit Harington. In a recent conversation between the two actors, the latter reflected on their relationship by recounting a rather humiliating filming experience for him.
The Connection Between Game of Thrones and The Last of Us
Game of Thrones and The Last of Us have two major points in common. The first is obvious: they are both HBO series. The second follows almost naturally from the first, since they share actors. Indeed, the two protagonists of the series adapted from the famous Naughty Dog video game are Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, two actors who played in the adaptation of George R. R. Martin's novels, and who almost followed the same path.
Before being cast in Game of Thrones in 2014, Pedro Pascal's career was up and down. At almost 40 years old, the actor had a string of small roles in various series, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was only when he landed the role of Oberyn Martell that the actor began to make a name for himself. A few years later, it was the turn of Bella Ramsey, his future sidekick, to do the same thanks to Game of Thrones. While still a child, the actress made a name for herself by playing Lyanna Mormont, a role that left its mark on fans, but also his colleagues, as evidenced by Kit Harington's recent comments.
Kit Harington's awkward experience with Bella Ramsey
In Game of Thrones, Lyanna Mormont is a valuable support for Jon Snow in his quest to retake Winterfell. This allowed Bella Ramsey and Kit Harington to cross paths on set. In a conversation conducted by Interview Magazine, the two actors looked back on the filming of the series. Kit Harrington notably mentioned an awkward moment when, during their first meeting, Bella Ramsey, then 11 years old, corrected him because he was having trouble delivering his lines.
Bella Ramsey: I don't know if you remember this, but I remember it very well and I have some remorse for it, but during that scene I recited your lines to you.
Kit Harington: Yes!
B.R.: Now I'm like, "Oh my God, that's awful!" But at the time, it was very innocent of me, "Kit's struggling with his lines and I know it, so let me tell him."
K.H.: I remember you helping me, and it was very humbling. [Laughs] But yeah, thank you for that. I probably chose to forget it.
Although it was "humiliating" for him, Kit Harington said he had shown arrogance and that Bella Ramsey had "erased" him from the screen, while she, on the other hand, showed "unusual confidence and clarity for a young actor." Since being cast in The Last of Us, the actress has often been criticized for her looks, but also for her acting. She's an excellent actress, and the fact that Kit Harington, then an experienced actor on Game of Thrones, was impressed The fact that she's been working on this is proof of this. At 21, Bella Ramsey is living up to the expectations she had at 11 and has every intention of continuing on this path. We can't wait to see what she'll offer in the next episodes of The Last of Us, as well as in her screenwriting career, as she's currently writing a film.
