They added, “I get paralysed because I just see everything – it takes me four hours to get round Tesco’s.”

Earlier in an interview with ELLE, Ramsey shard that they were neurodivergent at the age of 18, while filming The Last of Us in Canada.

“I’ve been thinking for years that maybe I was, and then to find that out whilst filming this show was super special,” they stated.
