Bella Ramsey Shares Funny Behind-The-Scenes Prep For The Last Of Us’ Most Emotional Scene

Acting is truly a remarkable art form, isn’t it? The ability of actors to immerse themselves in emotional scenes is incredible. For shows like HBO Max’s The Last of Us, where every episode feels like a gut punch, the actors’ preparations must be intense. Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie, shared a surprising way they cope with the heavy scenes. In an interview with Variety, Ramsey mentioned listening to “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” to lighten the mood before filming a particularly dark scene. Can you imagine singing that song before a tear-jerking moment?

For those who have played the game, you might have an idea of which scene Ramsey is referring to. But for those who haven’t, get ready for an emotional surprise. Adaptations of books and games can be tricky, as viewers who are new to the story need to be considered. The creators of the show have mentioned making changes to the story, particularly focusing on key characters like Abby.

Speaking of Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever, she has faced some backlash from fans of the game. Dever has even had extra security on set due to the hate the character has received. It’s interesting to see how the actors navigate this kind of reception. Fans have grown attached to these characters, and the upcoming second season is sure to be as intense as ever. The show premieres on April 13th, and I, for one, am eagerly awaiting to see how it all unfolds. Let’s see where the story takes us next!
