Bella Ramsey Reveals Single-Most Frustrating 'Last Of Us Question': 'No Offense'
HuffPost
"I’m going to get asked that question, probably, every day for the next few weeks," the 21-year-old actor vented.
Bella Ramsey is sick and tired of answering one particular “Last of Us” question.
The 21-year-old stars in the post-apocalyptic HBO series as Ellie, who was introduced in 2023’s first season as a teenager immune to a fungal infection that has ruined civilization. Season 2, which premiered last week, picked up the storyline five years after the Season 1 finale.
That means Ellie’s age has jumped from 14 to 19, which has apparently prompted reporters to ask the same question again and again.
Ramsey, who uses they/them pronouns, vented their frustration about it on Thursday.
“I’ve just been on a three-week press tour and one of the most common questions I get asked is ... ‘So, Bella, you played Ellie, [who] was 14 in Season 1, and now she’s 19 in Season 2. There’s a five-year age gap, how did you prepare to play an older Ellie in Season 2?’” Ramsey told iHeart Radio.
