At just 11 years old, young actress Bella Ramsey surprised Jon Snow actor Kit Harington with an unexpected gesture on the Game of Thrones set.
Kit Harington found himself caught off guard by an unexpected line. This story reveals a charming behind-the-scenes moment from Westeros.

Bella Ramsey recalled a moment from Season 6 of Game of Thrones when she quietly mouthed Kit Harington’s lines during a scene.
“I have some remorse for it now,” she said, “but it came from an innocent place.” Despite feeling sorry, she remembers it as a supportive gesture on set.

In a recent conversation with Interview, Bella Ramsey shared these details about her earliest memories of playing Lyanna Mormont opposite Kit Harington’s Jon Snow in Game of Thrones Season 6. She spoke about their time on set and how they supported each other.
The chat gave fans a rare behind-the-scenes look. It highlighted their close working bond during filming.

The Interview magazine conversation took place on April 28, 2025. This timing is significant because it happened years after Game of Thrones ended.
Reflecting back, the actors shared fresh insights and memories about their time on the show. It highlights how the series continues to impact their careers long after its finale.

Kit Harington shared his side of the story, recalling how Bella Ramsey helped him with his lines. “It was quite humiliating,” he said, but thanked her for the support.
He admitted he wasn’t comfortable with his lines and underestimated her. “That child actor wiped me off the screen,” he joked, saying it motivated him to improve.

Bella Ramsey shared her first experience acting on Game of Thrones. “I would’ve been 11 when we first met,” she said.
“It was my first job ever, so I had no reference point for what it would be like. I wasn’t nervous at all because I didn’t have expectations—I was coming in very much blind.”

Bella Ramsey’s Game of Thrones experience had a major impact on her acting career. It gave her the foundation and confidence to pursue more roles.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Bella said, “I don’t think I’d be an actor if it wasn’t for Game of Thrones.” She added that the show prepared her for The Last of Us and many other projects.

Kit Harington praised Bella Ramsey’s acting, saying she felt different from typical child actors. He said, “You brought a confidence and clarity that was quite unusual for a young actor.”
He added that working with her didn’t feel like working with a child, but with a very experienced actor. Harington clearly admired her talent and professionalism.

Bella Ramsey said, “I remember not feeling like a child, but now I see 11-year-olds and realize how tiny they are.” Looking back, she finds it strange to think she was that young and small while filming.
Despite this, Bella recalled making a major mistake during her first scene with Kit Harington. The memory adds a humorous touch to her experience.

Lyanna Mormont was the Lady of Bear Island and the head of House Mormont. She was known for her fierce loyalty and commanding presence.
Her unforgettable line: “I don’t plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me.” Lyanna quickly became a fan favourite on Game of Thrones.

In 2019, Bella Ramsey told The Cut they didn’t expect fans to love Lyanna Mormont so much. At 15, they hadn’t watched much of the show but admired Arya and Brienne.
Their favorite part was “standing up in front of grown men and shaming them.” Playing confident characters, Ramsey said, helps boost their own confidence.

Kit Harington was once linked to a possible Jon Snow spin-off, though the project is no longer in active development. He has also appeared in films like Eternals and the TV series Modern Love.
Harington is exploring a variety of roles beyond Westeros. His career is expanding with several new projects in development.

Bella Ramsey currently stars in HBO’s The Last of Us alongside fellow Game of Thrones alum Pedro Pascal. Although Pascal’s character died before Ramsey joined GOT, they now share the screen again.
Besides these roles, Bella has appeared in On The Beaches, Three Minutes of Silence, and Catherine Called Birdy. Her career continues to grow with exciting new projects ahead.

Game of Thrones scripts are famously known for their dense and complex dialogues, requiring actors to memorize long, challenging speeches. Many actors needed extra time to prepare their lines.
Bella Ramsey, however, always came well-prepared and confident. Her dedication clearly showed on set, earning her respect from cast and crew alike.

Fans praised Bella Ramsey’s performance, with many calling her a scene-stealer and applauding her confident presence.
Another fan commented, highlighting their love for Bella, “She’s a great actress—love her.” Many appreciated seeing seasoned professionals being shown up by new stars and looked forward to Bella’s future work.
