Pedro Pascal Explains Why ‘The Last of Us’ Role Puts Him In “Unhealthy Mindset”


Although 'The Last of Us' drags viewers through the emotional depths of the human experience, none go through it as much as star Pedro Pascal.

The Golden Globe nominee recently explained why the series, which returns to Max for Season 2 on April 13, puts him in “an unhealthy mindset” as he reprises his role as post-apocalyptic smuggler Joel Miller. After the Season 1 finale saw Joel riding off with an unconscious Ellie (Bella Ramsey), saving her from scientists that planned to experiment on her to find a cure for the Cordyceps infection, Pascal noted it’s the “fiercely protective” nature of the character that he relates to most. At this weekend’s Deadline Contenders TV event, Ramsey noted that there’s “definitely some doubt” between Ellie and Joel this season, “so I think that plays a big part in the shift in the relationship.”
