Revealing that the Game Of Thrones actor was 'really worried' about filming the toughest scene which had her crying on set. She called it 'virtually impossible' for her because she 'only cried in front of very limited people' in her life.
“That was the toughest one for me to shoot. I’ve tried [before in crying scenes] to think about something really sad in my own life and try and evoke emotions that way,” they continued.
Before concluding, Ramsey shared, “That doesn’t really work for me because it takes me out of the truth of the situation for Ellie. So I was remembering the happiest of memories that I have with Pedro.”
