1000 BELLA RAMSEY FACTS

(1) Bella Ramsey was born on the 30th of September 2003 in the city of Nottingham.

(2) Bella's full name is Isabella May Ramsey.

(3) Bella's star sign is Libra.

(4) Bella started acting at Loughborough’s Stagecoach Theatre.

(5) As a kid, Bella enrolled in the Television Workshop in Nottingham. The Television Workshop is a BAFTA award winning drama group and TV casting resource.

(6) Bella is 5'1 in height.

(7) Bella has dark brown eyes

(8) In 2015, Bella was cast as as Lyanna Mormont in the sixth season of Game of Thrones.

(9) One of the other child actors vying with Bella for the Lyanna Mormont role was Millie Bobby Brown. It didn't turn out too bad for Millie though because she was cast as Eleven in Stranger Things that same year.

(10) After being cast in Game of Thrones, Bella had to keep it secret for an entire year.

(11) Bella (like many young actors it seems) was schooled at home. Bella studied through the King's InterHigh online school rather than go to a secondary school.

(12) Bella lives in Leicestershire.

(13) Lyanna Mormont was only supposed to be in a couple of scenes in Game of Thrones but the producers thought that Bella was so good they decided to keep the character around for longer.

(14) Bella is quite a private person and their family keep a low profile. We know that Bella has an older sister. Bella's dad runs a home business and was apparently a talented trumpet player! Bella's mother is a former teacher who is now Bella's chaperon. Bella said their parents have been very supportive.

(15) Bella's first-ever acting role was in an amateur production of The Music Man.

(16) Bella played Mildred Hubble in the children's show The Worst Witch from 2017 to 2020. The show follows the adventures of a young witch attending a magical school called Cackle's Academy. The Worst Witch was a series of books first published in the early 1970s. In the 1980s there was a TV film and then later a number of TV shows based on the books.

(17) Bella had to do four auditions to get the part of Mildred in The Worst Witch.

(18) Bella has met their 'celebrity crush' but won't divulge who it is.

(19) Bella's favourite food is an avocado, olive and tomato baguette.

(20) Bella played Mildred Hubble for three seasons in The Worst Witch before leaving the show.

(21) There are some unmistakable similarities between Harry Potter and The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy. io9.com wrote the following: 'In this precursor to the Potter books, a young girl from a Mugg – uh – non-magical family attends a boarding school for witches. Which is in an ancient castle surrounded by an enchanted forest. While Mildred Hubble is enrolled at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, where she attends Potions, Broomstick Flying, Chants and Charms classes, she must deal with conflicts with her classmates, a cursed broom, and an attempt to overthrow the school. Also, Mildred and her friends make an invisibility potion. Similarities, include the fact that there's a mean teacher who hates the main character, and a popular blond kid who gets off on the wrong foot with the hero on the very first day. The series of Worst Witch books skews younger and tends to the lighter side of magic than the Harry Potter books. Many of the similarities are of the superficial, non-copyrightable type, though Murphy got there first.'

(22) Bella posted the following message on Instagram after leaving The Worst Witch - "Forever grateful for my time as Mildred in The Worst Witch... but there is a time for everything under the sun. And I decided last year, before series four started filming, that it was my time to say goodbye to Mildred. Thank you fans for all your support, thank you to the crew over the three years, thank you to all the residents of Cackles Academy, thank you to Jill Murphy for this wonderful world you created. It was completely my decision to say goodbye for reasons I can't really go into but to everyone reading this, please prioritise your mental health and do what's right for you."

(23) Bella seems to be fond of Continental 80s trainers. Continental 80s are a vintage-style shoe by Adidas that were originally (as the name suggests) released in the 1980s.

(24) Bella once played the back end of a cow (their older sister played the front) in a production of Jack And The Beanstalk at her local Stagecoach Performing Arts School in Loughborough.

(25) A common online question, believe it or not, is whether or not Bella is related to the bad tempered television chef Gordon Ramsay. The answer is of course NO. Their surnames aren't even spelled the same way!

(26) The Worst Witch adaptations seem to have a knack of finding future stars. The late 1990s ITV version featured a very young Felicity Jones as Ethel Hallow.

(27) Bella was in the 2019 sci-fi short film Zero. Zero is about a girl named Alice trapped in a house in a world where an electro-magnetic pulse has destroyed technology. Bella's charisma is plain to see in this mostly non-verbal role and the special effects shot at the end is amazing for a low-budget short film.

(28) At the time of writing Bella has 3.6 million Instagram followers.

(29) Bella is a fan of granola. Granola is a breakfast food and snack that is typically made from rolled oats, nuts, honey or other sweeteners, and dried fruits.

(30) Bella was cast in the highly acclaimed HBO television adaptation of The Last of Us video game as Ellie. The Last of Us is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released for PlayStation 3 in 2013 and remastered for PlayStation 4 in 2014. The game takes place in a world ravaged by a fungal infection that turns humans into aggressive creatures. The story follows the journey of Joel and Ellie, two survivors who must cross the United States to find a group known as the Fireflies. Along the way, they face various challenges, including hostile human factions and dangerous infected monsters.

(31) Over 100 young actors auditioned for the part of Ellie in The Last of Us before Bella was chosen.

(32) Bella had a dialect coach to learn an American accent for The Last of Us. Bella said that learning to swear in an American accent was quite good fun!

(33) Bella auditioned for the part of Sophie in the Steven Spielberg film The BFG. The role was won by Ruby Barnhill in the end. This is actually another part that Millie Bobby Brown unsuccessfully auditioned for too. It can be a tough old world in the child acting business with so many talented kids in competition with one another.

(34) Bella's Last of Us co-star Pedro Pascal was in Game of Thrones too but he was killed off before Bella joined the show. Pedro and Bella only met for the first time when they started shooting The Last of Us.

(35) Bella played Lorna Loft in 'Judy' - a 2019 biographical drama film based on the life of the legendary entertainer Judy Garland. Lorna Luft is the daughter of Judy Garland.

(36) Bella is a fan of the Lazy Oaf fashion brand.

(37) The director on Bella's first Games of Thrones episode said they hardly needed to do any rehearsing because Bella was already word perfect and brilliant.

(38) Bella had to learn horseback riding for Game of Thrones.

(39) Bella (who isn't much of a gamer) decided not to play The Last of Us video game in preparation for playing Ellie in the television adaptation but did watch some gameplay on YouTube to get a 'feel' for the role.

(40) After appearing in a short film, Bella made their film debut in the 2018 film Two for Joy. Two for Joy is a 2018 British drama film directed by Tom Beard. The film stars Samantha Morton, Billie Piper, Daniel Mays, and (obviously!) Bella Ramsey. It tells the story of a troubled family dealing with a recent loss and the impact it has on their relationships. Two for Joy got very good reviews.

(41) Bella planned to launch a podcast in 2019 called "Not Bella Ramsey" but only got as far as doing the promo trailer!

(42) The earliest screen role for Bella was in the short film Elefthería. This film is about a girl who lives inside her imagination. Elefthería is about three minutes long and quite easy to find online. It is certainly worth watching.

(43) Bella has dark brown hair.

(44) Bella is vegan.

(45) Bella is a big fan of football (soccer) and took part in the #KickUpChallenge to raise money for @youngmindsuk.

(46) Bella played the lead in the 2022 film adaptation of Catherine Called Birdy. The film is based a historical fiction novel written by Karen Cushman. The story is set in 1290 and follows the life of Catherine, a quirky and rebellious 14-year-old girl living in England. Catherine is determined to live life on her own terms, despite the restrictions placed upon her by society. She resents the expectations of her noble birth and yearns for freedom. The film version of Catherine Called Birdy was directed by Lena Dunham and garnered positive reviews.

(47) Bella has confessed to being a huge fan of the Eurovision Song Contest.

(48) If you have 25 minutes to spare you should definitely watch Bella in the 2019 short film Requiem. Requiem is set during the witch trials of 1605 and is a love story (Bella's character Evelyn falls for a friend named Mary) with a rich period horror atmosphere. Bella's performance is superb.

(49) Bella describes home life in England as being like a 'little hermit'. Bella likes the quiet life away from the camera.

(50) Bella likes having strawberries on breakfast cereal.

(51) Bella said they had a lot in common with Mildred Hubble because both are quite clumsy and prone to accidents.

(52) The Financial Times wrote of the film Catherine Called Birdy - 'It’s Ramsay who owns or steals every scene, a petite combustible package bursting with fury, pleasure and potential. It may go down as one of the all-time great teen performances.'

(53) Bella was declared one of two winners for PETA’s ‘Most Beautiful Vegan Celebrities of 2023’ list. Bella shared the award with Halle Bailey.
