English actor Bella Ramsey may be fairly new to the entertainment world, but they've been able to make quite an impression on audiences. The actor first gained major attention after appearing on Game of Thrones as Lyanna Mormont.
Bella later spread their wings in other feature films and series, from Catherine Called Birdy to The Last of Us. Now, fans are ready to learn more about the star.
It’s true that many young actors have been able to make their mark in the industry due to familial connections and influence. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case for the His Dark Materials star. So, who are Bella Ramsey’s parents? Here’s the full scoop.
Who are Bella Ramsey’s parents?
It looks like talent certainly runs in Bella's family. Per the Independent, their father, Alex, is a businessman who also plays trumpet, and Bella's sister has played in some amateur groups as well.
Bella also mentioned in a 2016 BBC interview that they and their older sister had been in a comedy theater group together for several years.
As for Bella's mother, there doesn't appear to be much information about her online, though Bella has certainly referenced her before.
In the 2016 BBC interview, when asked how their family and friends reacted to them landing the lead role in the British series The Worst Witch, Bella said: "They are all very proud and supportive. When we got the phone call I was with my mum, sister, cousin, and auntie, there was a lot of screaming and excited jumping, you could have filled a bathtub with the proud teardrops!"
It also looks as though Bella keeps their social media pages focused on their work and other pursuits, and doesn't post photos of their family. But in a post back from 2018, they shouted out "the help of [their] incredible family."
It's possible their family prefers the privacy. After all, in a 2020 Instagram post, Bella posted a photo of themself giving a thumbs-up with someone else, but you could only see the other person's thumb and not their face or body; Bella mentioned in the caption that it was their mom.
Bella Ramsey has a ton of impressive acting credits.
Bella may be young, but they're definitely making a name for themself in the entertainment world.
They appeared as a fan favorite on Game of Thrones between 2016 and 2019, and starred on the aforementioned television series The Worst Witch from 2017 to 2020.
Along the way, they've appeared in a slew of films including 2018's Holmes & Watson and 2019's Renée Zellweger–led Judy, and landed roles on shows like HBO's His Dark Materials and Starz's Becoming Elizabeth.
Their 2022 film Catherine Called Birdy scored positive reviews for the young actor, and their hit series The Last of Us premiered to great fanfare in 2023. It’s safe to say that the sky’s the limit for Bella’s career, and it seems like the English actor is just getting started.
