Bella Ramsey said that they think the "daddy" jokes about Pedro Pascal may have gone too far, and needed to check in to see if Pascal was still into the bit.
Ramsey, 19, spoke with Vanity Fair about their career, from their breakout role as Lyanna Mormont on "Game of Thrones" to starring alongside Pascal in HBO's "The Last of Us." In both "The Last of Us" and "The Mandalorian," Pascal plays gruff father figures to Ellie (Ramsey) in the former and Grogu (i.e. Baby Yoda) in the latter.
Those roles — and a significant amount of internet thirst for Pascal — have earned him a "daddy" title Ramsey worries may have overstayed its welcome.
"I very much played into it at the beginning, but now I'm worried it's gone too far," Ramsey told Vanity Fair. "I don't know whether he's still loving it; I need to ask him. He's a global phenomenon as he should be, because he's pretty spectacular."
Ramsey and Pascal famously shared a close bond on the set of "The Last of Us," especially given the emotional journey that their characters embark on together. Ramsey has joked that they won't watch Pascal's gruesome death scene as Oberyn Martell in "Game of Thrones" because they're "unhealthily attached" to him, and Pascal called Ramsey his "blessing."
After a red carpet interview clip from "The Mandalorian" premiere showing him refusing to read "thirst tweets" about him went viral, some fans started questioning if the Pascal "daddy" thirst had crossed the line.
"I am having fun with it," Pascal most recently told The Hollywood Reporter in an actors roundtable published in May.
