When Bella Ramsey said that they eat their bowl of cereal with orange juice instead of milk, the news quickly spread across the Internet.
Social media is no stranger to viral debates. Just in the last few years, the internet has been divided over everything from whether you should wash your legs in the shower to how often you should change your pajamas. Zara Larsson recently caused a big stir when she said that people should be able to talk to each other during movies.
Now, Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie in “The Last of Us,” is making waves because of how she eats her cereal.
Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal made an appearance in a video for The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year. In the interview, both of them tell what they ate for their last meal, and Bella Ramsey lets slip:
Mine was cornflakes and bran with dried strawberries in…with orange juice on top instead of milk.
Then, Bella Ramsey is asked by Pedro, who is shocked:
Orange juice?
When asked about her eating habits, Bella says:
So good. There once wasn’t milk I could drink, there wasn’t oat milk or almond milk, so I just tried orange juice on it. Years ago! And I loved it. And it’s been a thing ever since.
Pedro then asks:
How’s it on your tummy?
and Bella says:
Actually fine!
This week, a fan posted the interview clip on Twitter with the words:
Still not over the fact that Bella Ramsey eats their cereal with ORANGE JUICE. (also don’t try it.)
Since then, more than 200,000 people have watched the video.
Some people were surprised and angry. One person tweeted:
Cereal with orange juice … bella I can’t defend you.
Another wrote:
No matter how much I love bella ramsey, I am NEVER eating cereal and orange juice.
Some people were interested. A fan added:
This is so embarrassing. I tried the cereal and orange juice. It’s good…

When Bella saw the online conversation going viral, they jumped into the comments to stand up and defend themselves. Bella wrote this in response to the first tweet:
I had it for breakfast this morning.
If that wasn’t enough, Bella also showed pictures of the cereal and orange juice mixture that was in question.
Bella also liked a tweet with a picture of them sitting at a table with a bowl of cereal and a bottle of orange juice. The picture was edited by a fan.
I had it for breakfast this morning.

At the moment, it’s not clear if Bella likes their cereal with orange juice with juicy bits or without them.
