Fans of The Last of Us could use a hug right now, just like Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey). Episode 8 of season 1 of The Last of Us was watched by an amazing 8.1 million people, making it the most-watched episode of the series so far.
As Joel, who had just woken up, raged to find Ellie while she was saving herself with cathartic blows, they became very far apart. Everything came to an end when Joel and Ellie got back together, which was a big relief.
The Last of Us Fans Devastated by Pedro Pascal’s Heartbreaking Instagram Post!
From July 2021 to June 2022, the movie The Last of Us was shot all over Alberta. It is the first HBO show based on a video game.
It was made by Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, Naughty Dog, the Mighty Mint, and Word Games. Druckmann, who wrote and helped direct the first game, helped Mazin write the scripts for the first season’s nine episodes.
It looks like this emotional return also had a big effect on Pedro. He even posted a tribute to them on his Instagram Stories. Pedro shared a picture that showed Joel finding Ellie.
He grabbed her from behind during the scene, and she fought him before she realized it was Joel. Ellie was shocked and upset, and she started crying as Joel tried to comfort her. He told her, “It’s OK, baby girl.” “I got you.”
Their sweet relationship exists outside of the screen, too. HBO Max took away some of the sadness by posting a clip from behind the scenes on TikTok. Pedro said that putting Joel and Ellie together was “a match made in heaven,” and he even told Bella what he calls her.
In the video, he said: “Bella Ramsey plays Ellie. I call her ‘Bellie.’ She is a blessing to me.” Seems like they both feel the same way, because Bella said, “Our relationship has definitely grown as Joel and Ellie’s has.”
The Last of Us fans couldn’t recover from it all. Under the post, someone wrote, “STOP. MAKING. ME. CRY.” “How do I get adopted by Pedro Pascal?” another added. Someone else said, “They really had to post this right after episode 8.”

If that wasn’t heartwarming enough, Bella also took to Twitter to reveal her own nickname for The Mandalorian actor. She used a tweet that had the snippet in it to write: “I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I really miss you a lot. My Bucket.”
Think of our hearts as having melted. As the season finale of The Last of Us draws near, there will be more moments with Joel and Ellie. Even better, the streamer has plans for a second season.
