The Last of Us: Joel actor didn’t play the titles and that’s for 2 good reasons
Pedro Pascal never finished The Last of Us but still wants to play Joel on the HBO series.
The Last of Us is being turned into a series by HBO. In it, Pedro Pascal plays the lead role of Joel. However, the actor now explains in a GQ interview that he didn’t even play through The Last of Us. But at least he has two good reasons to justify himself, which we want to accept as valid – for once.
The Last of Us: Series star Pedro Pascal explains why he didn’t play through TLOU
That’s what it’s about: HBO is doing a The Last of Us series and so far everything looks like a series highlight is coming our way. However, the statement by Joel actor Pedro Pascal may not sound so promising to some fans. He probably didn’t play the two parts of The Last of Us at all.

Pedro Pascal never played TLOU: Or at least he never played through the two titles. In a GQ interview, the Joel actor says he at least tried. But then he handed the controller over to his nephew and spent most of the first game watching as a backseat gamer. But at some point he stopped doing that.
These are the reasons: On the one hand, according to Pedro Pascal, it should have been because he was simply over too little skill dispose He simply wasn’t able to play through The Last of Us. There you can see how much accessibility matters and how important games that are as accessible as possible are for everyone.
On the other hand, Pedro Pascal didn’t want to get too caught up in the game. This is because he feared he would be tempted by Troy Baker’s performance in the games too much to imitate.
“I found Joel so impressive – I found the whole thing to be such a visually stunning experience. And then I started to worry that I would want to imitate too much, which could be good in the right circumstances but a flaw in others. So I just wanted to create a healthy distance.”

What Pedro Pascal otherwise says about working on The Last of Us as an HBO series also sounds promising. According to him, those responsible would take care to ensure that the cult aspects of the video games were transferred to the series in a “very, very creative way”. Even with things that we would not necessarily expect. We remain curious. Here you can see a set picture from the shooting.
What do you say to that? Do you wish he would play the games and why?
