In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bella revealed that they were okay filming the scene with Pedro when he dies. It was the aftermath during the upcoming third episode that really got to them. After being rescued by Young Mazino's Jesse and taken back to Jackson, Ellie finally realises that Joel is gone.
Bella shared, “I really struggle with crying in scenes. I can get a tear out, but that’s different than crying. I remembered the happiest of memories that I’ve had with Pedro.
The thing that is always the saddest to me is remembering the happy things. I was remembering us the first few times we met and shooting season one. I was remembering all of that and through the lens of losing him.” On matching Ellie's look from the video game The second season of the series, co-created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, is based on the first-person video game The Last of Us Part II.
Initially, there were concerns by fans that Bella did not match up to Ellie from the video games. The actress acknowledged that physically she is smaller, but eventually, she worked on getting off social media and accepting the makers' vision for the show. She added, "I got quite fixated on the way that Ellie looks in the game and her physical stature and, to be specific, the muscle definition in her arms.
And I didn’t look like that. My body type isn’t that. I talked about this a lot with Craig, and he never put that expectation on me.
He wanted me to look strong and feel strong, and that was in how I carried myself, my posture and the confidence you have. It was a challenge for me to let myself off the hook for not looking computer-generated."
