The Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey, 21, looks in good spirits as they get measured for iconic Madame Tussauds waxwork in London
The actor, 21, who is non-binary, had their facial features measured by staff and was seen having their limbs measured for the lifestyle figure.
Bella's model will feature in the Awards Party zone at the London attraction and will reportedly be on show later this year.
The Last Of Us star had their skin tone matched as well as their long brunette tresses and eye colour so it will be identical to them.
Bella flashed their gorgeous smile as they held up a box of eye balls while trying to find the perfect colour to match.
The Game Of Thrones star rocked a plain black T-shirt before changing into a smart green blazer, white shirt and a red tie.
Bella is known for their breakthrough role as young noblewoman Lyanna Mormont in the HBO fantasy TV series Game of Thrones and as Ellie in drama series The Last of Us.
It comes after Bella and co-star Pedro Pascal reacted to Sunday's episode of HBO 's The Last Of Us which brought the tragic death of a beloved lead character.
The show follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they navigate a post-apocalyptic environment following a global fungal infection that turns many into zombie-like creatures.
Season 2 - which debuted last week - takes place five years after the first season, and introduces fans to one of the most hated characters in the video games the show is based on - Abby (Kaitlyn Dever).
With the introduction of Abby and her group making it to Jackson Hole, Wyoming where Joel and Ellie have settled, many fans familiar with the games predicted that this second episode would mark the death of a main character.
Those who theorized that death would happen were proven correct, with Joel meeting a rather brutal death at the hands of Abby, right in front of Ellie who swore to kill Abby, setting up the driving force for the rest of the season.
After the episode aired, both Pedro and Bella reacted to the tragic death in new interviews with Entertainment Weekly.
Bella said that no one on the set wanted to talk about the death, adding, 'I think it was a hushed thing, like scary words that no one wants to utter.'

'It feels like too big of a thing to just speak about it,' Bella added, while series creator/showrunner Craig Mazin added how important the moment was.
'When it came time to discuss it with other people [outside of production], we were circumspect,' Mazin said.
'Everybody really cared about making sure that this felt like what it was, which was an event we all respected,' he added.
Pedro did not play the 2020 video game The Last of Us Part II - where his character Joel is killed off fairly early on - but he knew his fate right from the start.
Even though he didn't play The Last of Us Part II, the 2020 video game on which season 2 is based, Pedro knew this would be his character's fate from the moment he accepted the job.
'It's not like they said, "Hey, we kill you at the beginning of season 2," but it was always an understanding that it would stay true to the source material in a specific way and that the, let's say, practical and exclusive obligation would be for season 1. It was just a matter of how and when,' Pascal said.

Hollywood heartthrob starring in one of this summer's biggest blockbusters looks unrecognisable in throwback snaps - Can YOU spot who he is?
His role in The Last Of Us saw him become a household name in his 40s, despite a years-long career. The Chilean-American actor's big break came in 2014 when he landed a role in Games Of Thrones. Most recently he has been the focus of the big screen with appearances in the huge Gladiator sequel featuring Paul Mescal, as well as the summer's biggest blockbuster - The Fantastic Four. His fashion sense has also turned heads on the red carpet, thanks to his choice of tight-fitting vests and thigh-high boots. But the actor looked unrecognisable in an array of snaps from before his Hollywood fame. Posing with best friend Sarah Paulson, the star kept it casual in a bomber jacket and untucked pink shirt for a Broadway premiere in 2005 - but can YOU guess who it is? It's none other than Hollywood heartthrob and all-round icon Pedro Pascal. Most recently Pedro has a blockbuster on his hands with the release of his new superhero film. The Fantastic Four: First Steps launched with a bigger-than-expected opening weekend, raking in an estimated $118 million domestically and another $100 million overseas, for a global debut of around $220 million, according to Comscore. The 50-year-old Mandalorian star is among the Marvel Studios film's iconic quartet, and the new film led at the domestic box office for the past two weeks. Directed by WandaVision's Matt Shakman, the film stars Pedro, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the latest version of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing. But before his mega fame, Pedro had to claw his way past his own very harrowing real-world demons in order to achieve a lasting career. Pedro, who is originally from Santiago, Chile, has faced an incredibly rocky road on his path to stardom, both professionally and personally. He has previously detailed how his parents were forced into hiding when he was just four months old to evade capture during then-dictator Pinochet's crackdown against opposition. Pedro's world was rocked once again when his father became involved in a fertility scandal that saw him charged with mail fraud and income tax evasion - before fleeing the country ahead of the trial with his family in tow. And the star would face more tragedy when his mother, who he called 'the love of his life,' tragically took her own life. Nonetheless, Pedro continued working away at his career and would eventually get a big break in 2014 that put him on a whirlwind trajectory. He was born Jose Pedro Balmaceda Pascal in Santiago, Chile, on April 2, 1975, to a child psychologist named Veronica Pascal and a fertility doctor Jose Balmaceda. When he was just four months old his parents were forced to leave him and his sister with their aunt, so they could avoid capture during then-dictator Pinochet's crackdown against his opposition. Six months later, the couple were able to climb the walls of the Venezuelan embassy and claim asylum. The family were able to relocate to Denmark before arriving in the United States, where they first lived in San Antonio, Texas. But they would later move again to Orange County, California, when he was 11. From a young age, the star fell in love with movies, since he told Variety that his parents would often take him and his siblings to the cinema to 'soak up as much American culture as possible.' He initially dreamed of being a competitive swimmer, participating in state championships until the age of 11, but later stopped to instead focus on strengthening his skills as an actor. After finishing high school, he studied acting at University's Tisch School of the Arts in New York City, where he graduated from in 1997. While he was in college, his father became involved in a fertility scandal that saw him charged with mail fraud and income tax evasion. In the early years of his career, Pedro landed a slew of small guest appearances in shows like The Good Wife, Homeland, The Mentalist, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: SVU, and Graceland. But despite landing a series of bit-parts, his big break came in 2014, after he was cast as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of Game of Thrones. Following his success in Game of Thrones, Pedro was met with a flurry of offers. He went on to star in the Netflix show Narcos, the 2015 movie Bloodsucking Bastards, the spy comedy Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the monster movie The Great Wall, and The Equalizer 2 (opposite Denzel Washington).

Harry Potter fans only now spot 'major flaw' in one of series' biggest moments
Harry Potter fans believe they have discovered a "major flaw" in the series, with the rules of a game featured heavily in the early books from J.K. Rowling picked apart by Potterheads A "major flaw" has been found by fans of Harry Potter, who think one of the series' biggest moments is lacking. The Daniel Radcliffe -starring series spanned eight films and HBO are set to revive the J.K. Rowling book series with a remake, but fans are wondering whether a "huge error" will be rectified in the upcoming HBO remake. Harry Potter fans took to Reddit to discuss the issue, which can be traced all the way back to the books. An "unpopular opinion" was posted to the r/HarryPotter subreddit, where fans believe they have uncovered a huge problem with the fictional game, Quidditch. The game Quidditch appears in the Harry Potter series frequently, and features two teams of wizards attempting to score points by netting various balls in three hoops. But the Golden Snitch, a crucial plot element and part of the fictional game, has some detractors. One user wrote: "The rule/function of the golden snitch in Quidditch is stupid and completely ruins what would otherwise be an awesome sport to watch. "Imagine if in basketball each team had a player out in the parking lot trying to catch a frog for the win. You're watching a great gamer that's been neck and neck and then suddenly the buzzer sounds halfway through. 'The game is over, Ramirez has just got the parking lot frog.'" It's a sentiment shared by some of Harry Potter's biggest fans. One user wrote: "Not unpopular, just true, quidditch is designed as a mock sport." Another fumed: "It fit the early series much better, back when it was more of a fairy tale world and hadn't become too self-serious with its world building." A third shared: "Back when the books were aiming to be more whimsy than realistic, Quidditch was designed as a mockery of sports. Hence, how ridiculous it functions as a game." Despite the apparent mockery of sports, Quidditch initially proved popular with fans of the series. Other fans were keen to point out that, while catching the Golden Snitch would end the game, it was not necessarily an automatic win. One user wrote: "You don't win if you get the snitch. It's 150 points. It's to balance the game out if you are getting slaughtered. "The game ends when it's caught. It's strategy to hold off catching it in some cases." Another added: "Unpopular opinion: this is how basketball already feels. Two teams just take turns being in the lead and eventually the timer runs out and the team whose turn it was to be in the lead at that moment wins. It's like a two-hour game of eeny-meany-meiny-moe." A third wrote: "But overall you're correct, it was designed this way for story purposes; any other sport it would be silly to think a 6th grader could play a physical sport with high schoolers and contribute to wins."

Rhosllannerchrugog: Actor Mark Lewis Jones pays heartfelt tribute
Mark Lewis Jones' face is well known even if the name is not as familiar. His credits read like a list of recent iconic TV shows - The Crown, Game of Thrones, Keeping Faith, Man Up and Baby Reindeer. His film career is equally impressive ranging from his memorable role as First Order Captain Moden Canady in Star Wars: The Last Jedi to his role in the recent film, Sweetland. This week he is President of the National Eisteddfod which is being held in Wrexham, only a few miles from his home village. He noted his sincere thanks to the grandfather for insisting that the Eisteddfod be "by everyone and for everyone". In his speech he said: "My grandfather, Jonathan Dafis, sang in the pavilion many times as a loyal member of the Rhos Male Voice Choir, as well as helping to organise the festival when he came to the area in 1945, but somehow when I was growing up I didn't feel that the Eisteddfod was relevant to me. "I was, and continue to be, a proud Welshman, brought up in a community that was Welsh even though we were so close to the border, but even so I didn't think the Eisteddfod was for a Welshman like me. And it took me a while to understand that I was wrong." He added his wife, Gwenno, runs a clothes shop in Cardiff, and would regularly hire a stall on the Maes. "One of my favorite memories of coming to the Eisteddfod (with Gwenno), was meeting and chatting with people who had travelled from afar to be part of the festival. "It became clear to me how essential the Eisteddfod is, supporting and promoting the arts in our country. I now have four sons, each one appreciating the importance of the festival, and Jacob, the youngest, is working on the Maes this week. "I have come to understand what Taid understood from the beginning - that the Eisteddfod is for everyone, for everyone. And if he was still with us I know he would be here, in the front row, with a proud smile on his face when he finally saw his grandson on stage." Mark Lewis Jones also outlined how he chose to become an actor. "I have been fortunate to be able to stand on several famous stages over the years - the Globe and the National in London, the Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford - but I have never been on the stage of the National Eisteddfod before," he said. He went to Ysgol Morgan Llwyd in Wrexham and he had no idea what to do with his life. "But at school there was a teacher called Gwawr Mason. And one day, for some reason, she asked me to be in the next school show? And for some reason I said - yes, ok," he said. He came from a home without any connection with the arts, and a home where English was the main language. "After taking part in that school show, my life changed completely. I wanted to act. My parents were unsure of course, but supportive nonetheless. After all, I had nothing to lose - I have two brothers who are carpenters, but I think my mother and father realised after seeing me handle a saw that there was no future for me in that field. "So I went on to work with Clwyd Youth Theatre. I went to the College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, then to Theatr Clwyd and London. "But I can definitely tell you that that would never have happened if Gwawr Mason had not offered a helping hand to a young, lost boy. Very sadly we lost Gwawr during lockdown and although I have thanked her many times for her support I don't feel I will ever, ever, ever be able to thank her enough," he said. As President Mark Lewis Jones has a full schedule in the next few days but he is especially looking forward to taking part in the Stiwt theatre's centenary celebrations, an institution he has a very personal connection to, in his home village.
