Bella Ramsey – who plays Ellie in HBO’s upcoming The Last of Us TV adaptation – was advised not to play the game ahead of joining the show.
During her audition for the part, Ramsey was asked if she’d played any of Naughty Dog’s critically-acclaimed game. When she answered honestly – “nope” – she was apparently “encouraged” not to.
“I was actually encouraged not to,” Ramsey told USA Today. “After my first audition, they asked me, ‘Have you played it?’ And I said ‘nope’, and they said, ‘Keep it that way’.
