Pedro Pascal is a beneficiant soul. He let fans give him an eye infection by letting them place their thumbs in his eyes to jokingly reenact his notorious “Recreation of Thrones” sendoff. He’s given us a 30-minute queer Western opposite Ethan Hawke and directed by Pedro Almodovar. He’s willingly hidden his face on three seasons of a TV present. Hell, the one time he’s refused anybody something it appears was when he refused to read sexy tweets about himself on a red carpet — a transfer broadly applauded.
So after all he gave a beneficiant, and enthusiastic response, to gamer Steven Yeun who breathlessly shared with “The Last of Us” actor his expertise of taking part in the beloved online game. It’s an expertise Yeun clearly cherishes — and says he was taking part in whereas contributing to zombie storytelling himself capturing “The Strolling Lifeless.”
In Variety’s Actors on Actors series, Yeun rhapsodized in regards to the ending of Neil Druckmann’s sport, which he notes is extraordinarily much like the ending of the TV present itself. The present has caught very intently to the beats of the sport.
“I don’t keep in mind what season it was, however when the sport got here out, I keep in mind I performed it 12 hours straight, all the way down to that final…the place you simply push the characters ahead as they’re having that final stunning scene you may have,” Yeun mentioned.
By no means having performed the sport himself, Pascal replied, “Are you severe?”
“Nothing occurs,” Yeun mentioned. “You simply stroll by the forest.”
“You’ve advised me extra in regards to the sport than the creator of the online game,” Pascal mentioned. “So that you’re saying that you simply get to a sure level however you continue to need to principally play however you’re not preventing something or on the lookout for something… it’s not a scene within the online game.”
“You must management the individual and simply stroll by the forest.”
Pascal’s thoughts is clearly blown right here. And one wonders if he might ever really play the sport himself as soon as his time on “The Final of Us” involves an finish. Contemplating how intently Season 1 adopted the beats of the primary sport, it appears probably that Season 2 won’t deviate removed from “The Final of Us Half II.”
