Bella Ramsey Opens Up About ‘Freeing’ Autism Diagnosis

The British actor has previously disclosed that they were told that they were neurodivergent while working on the first season of The Last Of Us.

“I’ve spoken a bit about neurodivergence before, but I always for some reason didn’t want to… I felt like I didn’t want to say what it was,” they said, before sharing: “I got diagnosed with autism when I was filming season one of The Last Of Us.”

Describing the diagnosis as “freeing”, Bella continued: “It enables me to walk through the world with more grace towards myself about not being able to do the easy everyday tasks that everyone else seems to be able to do.”

The former Game Of Thrones star told British Vogue they first pursued an autism diagnosis after a crew member on The Last Of Us who had a child with autism “assumed” that Bella did too.

According to the magazine, this diagnosis confirmed something Bella had “always wondered” about themself, having grown up feeling out of place and often experienced sensory issues and what Vogue described as a “painful hyperawareness of other people’s micro-expressions and body language”, which are often associated with people within the autism community.

Bella is currently gearing up for the return of The Last Of Us, in which they reprise their acclaimed performance as Ellie from the first series.

The White Lotus Star Aimee Lou Wood Embraced Her Teeth Thanks To This Iconic Pop Culture Moment

Aimee Lou Wood has revealed that a certain beauty campaign helped her embrace her distinctive teeth.

In a recent Instagram collaboration with the makeup brand Merit, the Bafta winner reflected on her own changing relationship with beauty.

“Playing loads of different characters has really helped with my self-confidence surrounding beauty, because it’s meant I’ve had to surrender control a lot,” the White Lotus star explained.

She continued: “A big thing for me growing up was my mouth, because it was the thing that everyone pointed out, and it was the thing that made me different. And I’d never seen an actress on TV with teeth like mine.

“When [Georgia May Jagger] did [her] ‘get the London look’ [for Rimmel], and she had the gap teeth, that was a huge moment. And I thought, ‘no, I am going to put red lipstick on, and I am going to draw attention to it’.”

In a full-circle moment, Georgia May Jagger then popped up in Aimee’s comments, telling her: “Your teeth are gorgeous.”

Aimee recently brushed off negative comments about her teeth during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

She claimed: ”All I ever do is take the piss out of myself. Even the way [White Lotus fans] are talking about me and my teeth — that I don’t have veneers or Botox — it feels a bit rebellious.”

Aimee can currently be seen in action in the third season of The White Lotus, playing Chelsea, a character who – like herself – originally hails from Manchester.

In the lead-up to the new season, Aimee revealed that in her original audition, she tried out both American and British accents, before producers decided to stick with her natural twang.

She told On Demand Entertainment: “I just don’t think I look very American at all. It’s the teeth. No Americans have my teeth…They just don’t.”
