Bella Ramsey Opens Up About Most Frustrating ‘Last Of Us’ Question
Bella Ramsey, known for their role as Ellie in the HBO series “The Last of Us,” has been fielding the same question time and time again lately. The 21-year-old actor portrays a character who ages from 14 to 19 between seasons, prompting reporters to inquire about how they prepared for the transition. Ramsey recently expressed their frustration with this line of questioning during a press tour, highlighting that growing up naturally played a significant role in their portrayal of an older Ellie in Season 2.
The post-apocalyptic series, adapted by writer-director Craig Mazin from a popular video game, follows the journey of Ellie, played by Ramsey, and Joel, portrayed by Pedro Pascal. Ramsey revealed that they underwent extensive training, including jiu jitsu, boxing, and combat training, to embody the older and more mature Ellie in the latest season.
Despite the repetitive questioning about their character’s aging process, Ramsey remains dedicated to their role and the series. As fans eagerly anticipate the continuation of “The Last of Us,” Ramsey’s portrayal of Ellie continues to captivate audiences with its depth and authenticity.
