In a recent conversation with Vanity Fair, Pedro Pascal reminisced about an intensely moving day on set while filming The Last of Us alongside Bella Ramsey. As he watched a particular scene from the series, Pascal expressed his hesitation, saying, “I’d rather not watch it!” However, he quickly added, “But I could certainly discuss it.

Pascal shared, “Bella and I… it was incredibly emotionally charged.” He commended director Neil Druckmann for crafting an environment that enabled them to deeply immerse themselves in the scene’s emotional depth.

Today’s gaming session was a breeze, thanks to the meticulous guidance of Neil Druckmann, our director for the episode. Bella and I shared an incredible bond on that porch, a connection so profound it felt like our souls were intertwined. Together, we immersed ourselves in the emotion of each moment, nurturing and supporting one another throughout the day as scene partners. As we delved deep into the pain of our characters, the day seemed to stretch on forever.

Later on, Pascal elaborated, expressing that after wrapping up the filming, he was left emotionally depleted yet spiritually content. “Thinking about causing them pain, considering the possibility of their absence,” he said, “these thoughts simply shattered my heart.

Even though Pascal hadn’t watched the completed version of that particular scene, the recollection itself remained strikingly clear. Beyond discussing his final scene in The Last of Us, Pascal also shared some thoughts about his departure from Game of Thrones and other topics.
