Bella Ramsey, the star of The Last Of Us, has bravely spoken out in a new podcast about a condition that caused her to not leave the house for months.
Ramsey spoke about having emetophobia, a mental health condition in which they have a crippling fear of vomiting.
The actor, who also starred in Game of Thrones, spoke out on the debut episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast’s fifth season, speaking about their journey to discovering they are non-binary, their autism diagnosis, and emetophobia.
