TheLastofUs star Bella Ramsey has responded to the backlash to her being cast as Ellie.
HBO's The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey has responded to the backlash to her casting. The Last of Us is an immensely popular video game and that is largely because of the story and two lead characters. Ellie and Joel are at the center of an emotional, complex story where two totally opposite people grow to become really close, discover love, and find purity in the world around them.
Many have noted that Bella Ramsey doesn't really resemble Ellie and some have used this against her as a reason why she shouldn't have been cast. It's typical toxic internet users at work, but it really weighed on Ramsey. In a profile piece for the New York Times, it was noted that she was 17 when her casting was announced and Ramsey revealed it was the first time she had any kind of negative reaction to something she was apart of.
"It's only recently that I've accepted I am Ellie, and I can do it, and I am a good actor," she said."But this will last for a few weeks and then I'll think I'm terrible again. That's just the process." 0commentsThe Last of Us is receiving an immense amount of praise, garnering a Rotten Tomatoes score in the high 90s with many critics singling our Bella Ramsey's performance as Ellie as high point for the series. ComicBook gave the show a 4 out of 5 and praised the series for expanding upon the source material and having a premium feel.
