Pedro Pascal Opens Up About His Deep Emotional Connection to The Last of Us Character

Pedro Pascal has shared a deeply personal connection with his character in The Last of Us, revealing how his own life experiences align with his role as Joel in the hit series.

The 50-year-old actor, known for his iconic roles in Game of Thrones and The Mandalorian, portrays Joel, a protective father figure to Ellie, in the critically acclaimed adaptation. Pascal explained that his own protective nature is one of the key traits he shares with the character.

“I’m definitely very protective,” Pascal said during a press conference ahead of the release of The Last of Us Season 2, which premieres on April 13. “I’m protective of the people I love, and that’s probably the strongest trait I share with Joel.”

However, the emotional similarities between him and Joel also brought challenges for Pascal, especially when it came to the intense and emotionally charged scenes. Pascal admitted that the role had a profound impact on him, more so than any other character he’s portrayed.

“This experience has impacted me more than anything else I’ve done,” he said. “It’s difficult to separate myself from what the characters are going through, and that really takes a toll emotionally.”

He continued, sharing how the emotional weight of the role sometimes affected his personal well-being: “In some ways, it’s not the healthiest. I end up feeling their pain—I suppose I was in an unhealthy headspace.”
