Acting as a job has a lot of perks and one of them is forming bonds on-screen that last even off-screen. And that was something that was recently experienced by the cast of The Last of Us series that is going to release on HBO Max next year, especially between lead actor Pedro Pascal and the star of the show Bella Ramsey.
This was also the reason that they shared the experience on the set which made them invested in the show so much. As Pedro plays the role of Joel from the game, and Bella the role of Ellie, they said that they had an “immediate bond” between them that will be reflected in the show as well.
