'The Last of Us' star Bella Ramsey 'in denial' about fame
Bella Ramsey is "in denial" about fame.
'The Last of Us' star - who is non-binary and uses gender-fluid pronouns - was propelled to stardom after landing a role in the hit TV show but Bella, 21, is adamant "day-to-day life hasn't changed" - insisting they still take public transport and wear scruffy clothes when out and about.
Speaking to the Guardian newspaper, Bella explained: "With the release of season two [of 'The Last of Us'], I've realised that there is a large element of it that's out of my control – but a large element of it also is.
"Yeah, I've been still getting the tube [the London Underground]. And just walking around. My day-to-day life hasn't changed. I go out in my joggers, I go out in my ripped T-shirt that needs a wash. I'm sort of in denial about it. Or can't comprehend it so just carry on as if nothing's happened."
Bella went on to insist fame is fleeting and the fuss will die down in a "few months" following the release of 'The Last of Us' series two.
They added: "What I've realised is that you reach that level of fame for a few months, then people move on to the next thing, the next show.
"Now going into season two, I'm aware that it's going to hype back up. I'm going to be more recognisable, people are going to want to talk to me a bit more for a couple of months. Then it'll just die down again ...
"Which is a really, really big relief."
Bella started out as a child star and won roles in 'Game of Thrones' and Lena Dunham's film 'Catherine Called Birdy' before scoring a part in 'The Last of Us' - and Bella feels as if they missed out on being a teenager.
They added: "There is now an element of me looking back and being like: 'Oh, I was never a teenager.' I do feel like I went from kid to adult. I had to show up on set every day and be responsible and have this very adult job."
Bella spent a long time hanging out with people who were older but they now have made a good group of friends the same age.
Bella said: "Now, living in London, I've got a small group of friends who are my age – for the first time, really. That's been a really, really positive thing."

Little Simz has 'forgiven' her absent father
Little Simz has "forgiven" her dad for not being present in her life. The 31-year-old rapper has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, and although she still doesn't have a relationship with her dad, Simz insists she doesn't harbour any bitterness towards him, either. Speaking to the Guardian newspaper, she shared: "It doesn't affect the memories I have growing up. "It just wasn't meant to be between them … but I think there's still a lot of love there, and I'm sure my dad respects my mum having raised his children, you know? "Now that I'm older, I definitely just understand that parents are flawed as well, and I get it. I've tried to not hold on to the anger, maybe that I once felt, or like this deep resentment … I'm just trying to let it go." Asked if it was tough to become so philosophical about his absence, Simz replied: "Definitely, 100 percent. Especially when you just internalise a lot of it. "Like, did you not love me? Like, did you not … I don't think it's any of that. I just think it is what it is, to be honest. But I've forgiven him." Simz was raised in London by her Nigerian mother, Tola, and their family home was always full of foster children. The Picture Perfect hitmaker - whose real name is Simbiatu Ajikawo - actually relished the experience of spending time with so many different types of people at an early age. She said: "I met so many different kids from all different walks of life who just became part of my family and who my mum nurtured and took care of. "It was really beautiful. I gained newfound respect and appreciation for my family, knowing that it's not given that everyone has loving support … I never went a day without love." Simz won the Brit Award for Best New Artist in 2022, and she took her mother on stage with her. The rapper recalled: "I thought, 'wow, you came to this country not knowing anyone, not knowing a word of English, and now your last born has just won a Brit' … it's kind of crazy."

Bella Hadid makes rare comments about romance: 'I like the simple things...'
Bella Hadid likes the "simple moments" of romance. The 28-year-old supermodel - who has been in a relationship with equestrian Adan Banuelos since 2023 - thinks of herself as the "most romantic person" in the world but joked that that can be to the "detriment" of the whole concept of love. Speaking on Chicken Shop Date, she told host Amelia Dimoldenberg: "I think I am the most romantic person on the planet to the detriment of romance. Yeah, I think simple moments are very sweet. I like kissing." But when asked what would be the on thing that would turn her off from a guy, Bella admitted that bad smells and bad shoes would mean "game over" for her as far as a relationship is concerned. "It's scent and shoes for me. I'm like 'Oh, let's take a beat down...'" Bella had an on/off relationship with The Weeknd from 2015 to 2019 and then dated Marc Kalman from 2020 until 2023 but when asked if she has ever been "ghosted" - which is where a prospective romantic partner suddenly stops all communication without any warning or explanation - by a man, she confirmed that she has not. She said: "No...I mean, no..." The former Real Housewives star then revealed that she has "boxes of" private journals, and she would much rather that someone go through her phone rather than read her scriblings from over the years. She said: "I'd [rather] someone went through my phone any day. I have boxes like this of just stacked journals. You will go to jail immediately, I will send you to jail. And call your mom!" Bella's comments on romance come just weeks after she admitted that she is feeling broody as she described her sister Gigi as a "superhero" after watching her become mother to four-year-old daughter Khai with her ex-partner Zayn Malik. She told the June issue of British Vogue: "Family is on my mind. I can't wait to be a mom. I think that I'm somebody for a lot of people. But in the real intimate way of being the person that somebody can count on consistently, that will change my life for me. And I cannot wait. Khai is the best thing since sliced bread. I want to be the best auntie to her. My sister is a superhero."
