Such assertiveness has been possible thanks to a great support network, says Ramsey. “My journey has been very cushioned. I have been fortunate to work with people who are fiercely protective of me. I hear horror stories of people in the industry. I’ve had some massive challenges and traumas, as everyone has, but for the most part I’ve felt very safe.” A trans-owned apparel brand founded by Finnegan Shepard, Both& designs garments for transmasculine / gender non-conforming and non-binary people. The brand places the community at the centre of their work with the motto: “Don’t try to fit into a world that wasn’t built with you in mind. Create your own world.” This is the first time I’ve been sent a script and asked if I want to do it without having to audition,” they say. “I find it very strange that they would just trust me like that.” It’s surprising that one of the most hailed young British actors of the decade would be so terrified after the years of praise they’ve received. “I absolutely do not feel more confident,” they explain. “I’m at the point where I can accept that I’m a good actor … But each part is completely different. There have been characters where I feel like they are already inside of me, but Kelsey was more external, which scared me.” While stating that ‘they/them’ “describe me most accurately” and feels the most “truthful”, the actor reiterated that it’s “impossible” for people to get it wrong. Clothing has been really important to me and I’ve only been realising that more recently. I need to feel comfortable in what I am wearing to be comfortable in the world. Sometimes if I wear an outfit and it is just not right, it has to be right. If it is not right and I am out and about walking around London, it really has an impact on how I feel. Finding stuff that fits right and how I want it to fit, stuff that is baggy but not too big, is a fine line. I naturally dress quite simply and androgynously. I feel my clothing isn’t really gendered, anyone could wear it. Not that clothing should ever be gendered. What have you found most enjoyable about this project?

I was mini!” they laugh. This certainly did not show on screen – the small but mighty Lyanna Mormont totally commanded a room full of lords by calling each of them out for being weak, then shouting: “The North remembers!” and pledging her allegiance to Jon Snow. Every man in that room followed suit. How could they not? Still, Ramsey insists: “I had no idea what I was doing!”I found the actual shoot really fun. The idea for it was that we would use paint on the final look as a campaign and for it to just be a mess. The idea that I’ve been able to think of the concept and for it to come into fruition… To sit in a studio in London with my friends and paint each other and a wall and be messy is the coolest thing. That was very fun, it was a very joyful day. I would say the actual shoot, as it was a lot of work. I didn’t quite realise how much work goes into organising and preparing something like that. What do you hope people will take away from this collaboration? In this interview, Bella reflects on their experience with clothing in expressing their own gender identity, why “if Eliot Sumner was a gender identity, that’s how [they] would identify.” And, if there is one takeaway, it’s the importance of recognising the current shift and “having more spaces where transmasculine and non-binary people who don’t fit into regular clothes can go and find stuff that fits their body.” What a great campaign to be a part of, how did the collaboration between you and Both& Apparel come about?

So, while many in the world of The Last of Us may have looked at that shirt and saw a silly relic of the past that was probably too flimsy and too bright, Ellie likely looked at it and said “cool shirt.” Those who know about Ellie’s arc in The Last of Us games may also look at her in this shirt and feel a little nostalgic for what weirdly now seem like simpler times. And what of entering this humongous new decade? “Being in my 20s feels disgusting,” they guffaw. “I never wanted to grow up because I thought you lose privileges when you do. But now I realise you gain them – you can vote and drive and be independent. I’m excited about the future, actually. Time was the first show I’ve done on my own. My mum didn’t come on set with me. It was a big experience in many ways. I was ready to move on my own. That’s why Ellie’s “sunset on the beach” graphic tee is so fascinating. Not only is it one of the brightest and most distinctive articles of clothing we see any of the major characters in The Last of Us wear, but it ends up revealing quite a lot about Ellie’s character. After all, she’s a young person who never got to see the world as it was before the Cordyceps brain infection ravaged humanity. As we’ve seen throughout The Last of Us (most notable the Left Behind DLC) that means she’s much more fascinated with the world as it was than other people are.But right now, Ramsey is settling into their new London life. First up, the fair-weather football fan (“Me and my dad joke about supporting Leicester Rovers”) is keen to find a local team to join. Preferring to participate than watch is very on-brand, they say, also confessing to barely watching any TV. They also love writing music in their downtime, particularly rap. “I used to write raps about the darkest things,” they say, “like about child abuse and sexual assault – I didn’t know about any of that! I was 10! And grew up in a very loving family!” But I read an article about how neuroscientists say you don’t become an adult before 30 – we’re just kids always, I think. It’s just our bodies that age.”
