It’s no secret that The Last of Us is one of the biggest TV shows right now. After a critically-acclaimed first season, the show is back and it’s adapting The Last of Us Part II game, aka one of the most heartbreaking and grief-driven games. Period. And at the center is Bella Ramsey as Ellie.
So, to celebrate The Last of Us Season 2, we had the absolutely delightful Bella Ramsey swing by BuzzFeed to do our Puppy Interview. And yes, it was as adorable as you might imagine.
For starters, Bella talked about playing the shift in Ellie and Joel’s dynamic with Pedro Pascal in Season 2, and how while their relationship is different on screen, offscreen they and Pedro were still best buddies.
They also discussed a scene in The Last of Us Season 1 that they could not get through without laughing, and it was when Joel, Tess (Anna Torv), and Ellie first meet up, and Ellie eats the chicken sandwich, and they ask why she’s so important to the Fireflies.
Looking at Season 2, Bella loved getting to play Dina (Isabela Merced) and Ellie’s relationship, and how they were able to build it with Isabela as the season went on.
And, they also revealed that they took a bar of Irish Spring soap from Bill and Frank’s house after filming the episode, and they would carry it around with them while filming the first season.
Of course, outside of The Last of Us, we also just got to know Bella a little better, too. Like how their first audition was for The BFG, and if they could guest star on any show right now, it would be The White Lotus.
In conclusion, the whole thing was just supremely wholesome, and it’s my new comfort video.
And be sure to catch Bella in The Last of Us Season 2, with new episodes airing Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and streaming on Max.
