LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Just a couple of days before the premiere of 'The Last of Us', star Bella Ramsey has broken all the shackles and revealed some really intimate information about her personal life that will surely encourage people to applaud her. The young star recently opened up about how she identifies and didn't shy away from telling the world that she is 'gender fluid'.

Ramsey took the world by storm when she was introduced as Lyanna Mormont in HBO's blockbuster series 'Game of Thrones'. Since then, we have seen the actor playing pivotal roles in several high-end ventures. However, there's no doubt that playing Ellie in 'The Last of Us' is the biggest role of her career so far and is leaving no stone unturned to let people know more about her.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, the 19-year-old star revealed how excited she always got when someone called the actor "he" and checked the column of 'non-binary' while filling up any form, if there's an option. She also says she doesn't put a lot of weight into pronouns, but doesn't like "being gendered."

"I guess my gender has always been very fluid. 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. I’m very much just a person. Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less," Ramsey said during the interview.
