In season two of 'The Last of Us,' audiences were shocked by the sudden death of Joel, played by Pedro Pascal, in episode two. Bella Ramsey, who portrays Ellie, revealed that the emotional weight of episode three was the hardest to film for her. The season adapts the controversial narrative from the 2020 game, highlighting the complex relationship between Joel and Ellie. As grief overtakes Ellie, the scene where she smells Joel's jacket proves particularly intense for Ramsey, who struggles with expressing emotion in front of others.
Oh God, in the closet, that was the hardest [scene]. So I really struggle with crying in scenes. I can get a tear out, but that's different to crying. And even getting the tear, it doesn't come easy for me.
I was remembering us the first few times that we met, and the whole of shooting season one together, and the funniest moments. I was remembering all of that and through the lens of losing him.
