The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey shares why they have some regrets about coming out as non-binary

Bella Ramsey, the star of The Last of Us, came out as non-binary in 2023 during the film’s promotion. Now, two years after revealing they are genderfluid, Ramsey has some regrets.

Back then, Ramsey told The New York Times that they loved being mistaken for a boy by strangers.

“I guess my gender has always been very fluid,” she said. “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.”

Asked by the Guardian how they feel of the way they shared the news with the public, Ramsey said, “Part of me looks back and I wish that I didn’t, because I didn’t want it to become a headline and a big thing.”

They added: “And obviously it was going to, and I didn’t really understand that at the time. And I wasn’t really prepared for that. But on the other hand, people have said to me that it’s been very helpful for them seeing some representation.

“So it’s been a mixed bag, but overall, I think it was a good thing, just for me living more freely, without feeling like I’m keeping a secret.”

The British actor explained they don’t want the topic of their gender to be in the focus.

“I guess I’m just quite chill with it. And I want everyone else to be as chill with it basically,” she said.

She said she didn’t really care of the pronouns people use when they refer to them. “I’m very much just a person,” she said. “Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less.”

The topic of Bella Ramsey declaring to be non-binary resurfaced when she decided to deactivate her Instagram account last week.

They said they found inspiration in Kit Harrington and Jesse Eisenberg.

“Those are the two actors who I just thought were the coolest people to ever walk the earth, and neither of them had social media,” Ramsey said.

“I remember them just being so normal and funny and interesting. They were famous because they were great at something, not because they were celebrities. They never pushed themselves out there and made themselves more famous.”
