Bella Ramsey believes their sexual orientation is always changing.
“You never fully know who you are, it’s ever evolving,” the “Last of Us” star, 19, told Vogue for their July Pride Issue Tuesday.
“But I certainly think that people have gathered that I’m not 100 percent straight. I’m a little bit wavy, you know? That’s what I like to say.”
Ramsey, who uses they/them to describe themselves, added that they had “a lot of anxiety around pronouns.”
“When ‘The Last of Us’ first came out, I was like, ‘Everyone just call me “she” because I look like a “she” to you, so it’s fine,'” the actor explained.
“But now I’m able to vocalize it more, being called ‘they’ is the most truthful thing for me. That’s who I am the most.”
Ramsey said they explored their sexuality further while filming the HBO series in Canada from July 2021 to June 2022, particularly with the wardrobe department’s help.
“The costume supervisor would put several different undergarments in my room: a regular bra, a binder, a sports bra,” they shared.
“She’d say, ‘You just pick whatever is most comfortable for you today,’ and in the end it was just a binder. There was never anyone pressuring me.”
Ramsey also received support from their co-star Pedro Pascal, who played the role of Joel.
“I always felt like he had my back,” they said, noting that Pascal’s sister is transgender. “We take care of each other.”
Ramsey first disclosed publicly that they identify as non-binary in a New York Times article in January, stating that they loved being mistaken for a boy growing up.
“I guess my gender has always been very fluid,” they said at the time. “Someone would call me ‘she’ or ‘her’ and I wouldn’t think about it, but I knew that if someone called me ‘he’ it was a bit exciting.”
The “Game of Thrones” alum then noted, “I’m very much just a person.”
