Bella Ramsey’s experience of working with Pedro Pascal.
Having shot for nearly an entire year, Ramsey has developed a good friendship with her co-star Pedro Pascal. She had a positive experience and described her co-star as funny and generous. She further said that they had a lot of conversations and he’s probably one of the funniest people she has ever known. Read Ramsey’s full quote below:
“It was the longest show I’ve ever been on. It was 11 months shooting for me, and the rest of the team were there for over a year, I think. I feel like when you’re with a group of people for that long, the connections that you formulate and the friendships are so solid and special. It was really hard to say goodbye to everybody at the end. It was such a good experience.
And working with Pedro was so fun. He’s hilarious. He’s probably one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. He’s also incredibly generous. That’s the word that comes to mind when I think of Pedro. He’s so generous with his words, with his time, and with his actions. He’s just a super cool person to be around, and he definitely made the set a fun place to be. We had a lot of great conversations.”
Other than Ramsey and Pascal, Gabriel Luna will be playing Tommy and Dandridge will reprise her role as Marlene(same as the video game). Jeffery Pierce as Perry(a quarantine rebel) and Anna Trov as Tess(Joel’s smuggle partner) are proficient casting. Putting it simply, The Last of Us will have a remarkable cast, with Ramsey and Pascal being the perfect leads.
The Last of Us is set to release in early 2023.
