The Last of Us HBO show's Bella Ramsey was asked♏ not to play the game before joining the show.

That's according to an interview with , in which Ramsey was asked if she'd played any of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog's acclaimed post-apocalyptic shoote🐎r The Last of🧸 Us before she joined the cast as Ellie.

"I was actually encour🦋aged not to," Ramsey said. "After my first audi😼tion, they asked me, 'Have you played it?' And I said 'nope', and they said, 'Keep it that way'!"

Ramsey didn't come without any knowledge of the story, though. 

"I did watch some of the gameplay on YouTube just to get a sense of it," she admitted. 

Ramsey said that dedicating a full year to the project when she was just 19 was a big deal, and shared a lovely exchange she'd had with co-star Pedro Pascal, who plays the embittered Joel alo🐈ngside her on the show.

"I'm so excited for it to come out – it was such a big part of mꦕy life. I shot for a whole year, which iܫs quite a long time when you've only lived for 19 years. 

"Pedro wrote a little card to m𝔍e at the end, saying, 'How interesting that something so huge and life-changing should happen so early in your life and so late in mine'. I thought it was a really sweet observati﷽on and I just had the best time." 

A synopsis previously released by HBO reads: "The story takes place 20 years after modern civilization has b🦂een destroyed. Joel, a hardene🍸d survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival."
