HBO series ‘The Last of Us‘ has already become one of the most extravagant series in 2023. Taking inspiration from Naughty Dog’s video game title, the series takes the viewers on a ride into the post-apocalyptic world. Leading the role of Joel, Pedro Pascal has been a much-loved personality who, as it turns out, was quite emotional while filming the reunion scene.

‘The Last of Us’ story provides an emotional yet survivalist approach to an apocalypse and its following events.

Actors have commendably been doing their roles, which could also be seen in a confirmed second season.

The series has recently unfolded the sixth episode out of the nine-episode run. Just like any other episode, this latest episode filled the audience with heartfelt emotions and was engrossed by the impeccable projection of the story.

Talking of Pascal crying on the set to facilitate his co-actors to absorb the scene well, she commended him. She said, “I noticed that each time we repeated, Pedro was crying. He was not on camera, but he was crying because he was giving his partner everything so that he can act. It’s so generous of an actor to do this so deep.”

Žbanić also appreciated the interaction with actors to better the scene and acknowledge the changes that have evidently turned out successful. She said, “They also suggested some changes, so it was very deep for both of them in each scene. It was so beautiful, because it’s a very long scene in the shoe shop. It’s a very emotional scene for Pedro.”
