Actor Bella Ramsey encounters her Madame Tussauds wax figure, crafted over a period of ten months, that closely resembles her character from The Last of Us, during its unveiling.
Bella Ramsey, the acclaimed actor known for their roles in Game of Thrones and The Last of Us, recently visited Madame Tussauds London to meet their wax figure. The figure, which took 10 months to create, will join the likes of Harry Styles and Timotheé Chalamet in the Awards Party zone of the tourist attraction.
Ramsey, who opened up about their struggle with a debilitating anxiety disorder, expressed excitement about having their 21-year-old self "frozen in time." The specific anxiety disorder Bella Ramsey discussed is emetophobia, a fear of vomiting or seeing others vomit.
The actor described their emetophobia as an 'all-encompassing' fear that made them unable to leave their home. The condition caused distressing symptoms of anxiety and obsessive behavior, and in extreme cases, led to complete isolation.
Ramsey was conscious about what food they would eat on set and worried about illness or bugs. In some instances, their anxiety led to panic attacks. Despite these challenges, Ramsey's career has flourished, with their performances in Game of Thrones and The Last of Us earning them critical acclaim.
Steve Blackburn, the manager of Madame Tussauds London, paid tribute to Ramsey ahead of the figure's debut. Bella Ramsey officially approved the wax figure, and their four-legged companion Skipper was present for the unveiling. Pictures show Ramsey inspecting the wax figure and taking a selfie with it.
Emetophobia often coincides with other anxiety conditions, including OCD and panic disorder. The condition can cause physical symptoms of anxiety such as increased heart rate, changes in breathing, feelings of nausea, and lightheadedness.
Ramsey's wax figure wears a green suit and black boots, inspired by Bella's outfit from the world premiere of The Last of Us series two in Los Angeles. The figure is a testament to Ramsey's impact on the entertainment industry and their bravery in opening up about their struggles with emetophobia.
In a world where anxiety disorders are often stigmatized, Ramsey's honesty and resilience serve as a beacon of hope for those who may be struggling with similar issues. By sharing their story, Ramsey encourages others to seek help and support, and reminds us all that it's okay to not be okay.
