News culture “I was discouraged” This Stranger Things star wanted to give up everything after being rejected from the Game of Thrones series
This now very famous actress almost ended her career because she couldn’t play this character. Luckily, she didn’t end up making that decision!
Before she starred in Stranger Things, she could have starred in Game of Thrones
No need for presentation Stranger Things, because this Netflix series has been considered an icon since it first aired in 2016. The nostalgia of the 80s, its unique atmosphere and its captivating plot quickly won over the subscribers of the scarlet streaming platform. The young actors of this series have become real stars, such as Sadie Sink, who played in “The Whale”, Finn Wolfhard in “It”, but above all Millie Bobby Brown, who has had the right to play numerous roles, including Enola Holmes. The latter plays a central character in this series and became known worldwide for her exceptional performance.
However, the latter almost ended her acting career after a rejection. She applied for the role in “Game of Thrones” but didn’t get the role she so desperately wanted. She wanted to play Lyanna Mormont, the leader of House Mormont, who is only ten years old. If you’ve watched this series, you know that this role was given to Bella Ramsey.
Bella Ramsey got this role
Millie Bobby Brown was attached to this role and looked perfect, only it wasn’t she who was chosen, but Bella Ramsey. A refusal that she resented, as she thought it would end her career at that moment.
I think the rejections really discouraged me, and that’s something I tell everyone, which is that this industry is full of rejections 24/7. Then I auditioned for Game of Thrones and I got a no, and I thought, “Oh, this is really hard.” I think I really wanted this role…
She recovered well as she landed the lead role in the Netflix series Stranger Things just a few years later. Bella Ramsey, for her part, stars in the HBO adaptation “The Last of Us” alongside Pedro Pascal, who also had a role in “Game of Thrones”. Maybe these two actresses will come together in a production, but only time will tell.
