That was my last day of being a child.”It was a fitting milestone for the British actor, thrust into the spotlight with their star turn in the series after breaking through in a small yet iconic role as the young, resolute Lyanna Mormont in “Game of Thrones.” In “The Last of Us,” Ramsey plays Ellie, a teenager immune to the rampant fungal infection that wiped out most of the world’s population, turning the diseased into zombie-esque creatures with a penchant for destruction.This sudden scrutiny of stardom has, unsurprisingly, taken some adjustment for the now 19-year- old. “There’s definitely a pressure and I felt that massively, especially when my casting got announced and there was a very mixed reaction,” Ramsey said. “Most of the stuff I saw wasn’t great and I was already reckoning with, ‘Did they pick the wrong person?’ I felt that pressure all the way through shooting.
