While appearing on Heart Radio (via The Independent) Ramsey expressed frustration at constantly being asked about the time jump from one season to the next. "I've been on a three week press tour, and this is the most common question I get asked: 'So, Bella, Ellie was 14 in Season 1, she's now 19 in Season 2, there's a five year age gap, how did you prepare to play an older Ellie in Season 2?'" Ramsey said. There was simply no good answer to the question.
"I've grown up! Ellie's grown up!" Ramsey said. "There's nothing to tell! I've got nothing to say to you! I'm going to get asked that question, probably, every day for the next few weeks, so no offense to everyone asking that question, but that's the question I am a little bit sick of."
I've grown up!
The first episode had a lot of action sequences, and Ramsey had to prepare for those.
"I did two months of jujitsu and other martial arts; boxing, fighting, combat training, before we started shooting," they told the radio show. "I'm quite well equipped to take someone down if necessary." Indeed, Ellie does take someone down during the first episode of Season 2.
