An adaptation ofGeorge R.R. Martin‘sA Song of Ice and Fireseries,Game of Thronesis considered one of the highest-rated shows of all time. The story of the mythical land of Westeros featuring nine noble families garnered immense fan following, so much so that almost every needle-moving sequence in the series became a subject of intense internet debate.
Needless to say, the actors who featured in the series also rose to stardom overnight.Bella Ramsey, who portrayed Lady Lyanna Mormont, head of House Mormont, was no different.

Accordingly, Ramsey and their family decided to literally remain in the shadows by not doing any interviews and protecting personal information. Speaking toLAD Bible, they explained:
“I actually think that my journey through the industry has been done in a way that I’m really pleased about. Like, I think we chose the right route in terms of when ‘Game of Thrones,’ everything started coming out. We chose the route of doing absolutely nothing, do like no interviews, give no personal information. It was so terrifying.”
Ramsey insisted that they are proud and happy about the decision to keep everything private and remain fairly anonymous untilThe Last of Us.However, that luxury has gone after their starring role in the post-apocalyptic series, for which they have also earned a Primetime Emmy award nomination.
