Bella Ramsey On Not Being ‘100 Percent Straight’

In a throwback interview with Vogue, the star labeled themselves “not 100% straight.” They said, “You never fully know who you are; it’s ever-evolving. But I certainly think people have gathered that I’m not 100 percent straight. I’m a little bit wavy, you know? That’s what I like to say.”
While they are constantly exploring her sexuality and how they truly feel, when asked about dating, they said, “I’m 19, so figuring that out is going to be a part of my life. Relationships are so complex anyway, and if you’re in the public eye, everyone having an opinion about them adds an extra layer of difficulty.”
