Bella Ramsey Expresses Remorse for Humiliating Game of Thrones Co-Star
Bella Ramsey, known for her role as Lyanna Mormont in “Game of Thrones,” has shared a moment of remorse for what she describes as a humiliating experience on set involving her co-star Kit Harington. In a recent interview, Harington revealed that he felt deservedly humiliated by Ramsey for his arrogance while filming the fantasy series.
Ramsey, who now stars in HBO’s The Last of Us, began her acting career on Game of Thrones at just 11 years old. Playing the young and confident Lyanna Mormont, she quickly caught Harington off guard with her clarity and confidence on set. Harington admitted that he underestimated the young actor, thinking it would be easy to act opposite her, but was proven wrong by her talent and professionalism.
During a joint chat with Ramsey, Harington recalled how Ramsey once helped him out by mouthing his lines when he struggled to remember them, calling the experience quite humiliating. Ramsey expressed remorse for her actions, explaining that at the time, it came from an innocent place of wanting to help her co-star remember his lines.
Despite initially finding the experience embarrassing, Harington shared that it motivated him to up his game and improve as an actor. He acknowledged that he had become too comfortable in his “Jon Snow-ness” and needed the wake-up call that Ramsey provided.
This candid moment between the two actors showcases the mutual respect and camaraderie that can develop on set, even in the face of humbling experiences. It’s a reminder that even seasoned actors like Harington can learn valuable lessons from younger performers like Ramsey.
