Bella Ramsey Has A Blunt Message For The Last Of Us Haters Who Criticised The Show

Bella Ramsey has a message for The Last Of Us haters who slammed the latest season of the hit US drama.

“You don’t have to watch,” the British actor said while appearing on the podcast The Awardist earlier this month.

“If you hate it that much, the game exists. You can just play the game again. If you do want to watch it, hope you enjoy it.”

Bella went on to explain that because the “show is [already] out”, they don’t stress over the critics and avoid “reading or looking at anything” negative about the series.

“There’s nothing I can do about it anyway,” they pointed out. “The show is out. There’s nothing that can be changed or altered. So I’m like, there’s not really any point in reading or looking at anything.”

Noting that “people are of course entitled to their opinions,” Bella added: “But it doesn’t affect the show, it doesn’t affect how the show continues or anything in any way. They’re very separate things to me. So no, I just don’t really engage.”

Some fans criticised The Last Of Us after Pedro Pascal’s character Joel was killed off in season two. Though some details of his death were altered in the show’s adaptation, his brutal death aligns with Joel’s fate in the video game The Last Of Us Part II.

Meanwhile, other fans have focused on the differences in physical appearance between Bella and their character, compared to how Ellie is depicted in the video game series.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in April, bella admitted that they became “quite fixated” on the differences in Ellie’s appearance and their own, but that the show’s co-creator Craig Mazin soothed their concerns.

“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,” Bella shared.

They continued: “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.”

A premiere date for the third season of the post-apocalyptic series, which first aired in 2023, has not yet been announced. The show was renewed for a third season in April.

Wednesday Actor Shocks Co-Stars By Using 1 Savage Word To Describe Jennifer Lopez

Luis Guzmán was not exactly channeling the smooth-talking Gomez Addams when asked about working with Jennifer Lopez.

The stars of the Netflix hit Wednesday appeared on Monday’s episode of Hot Ones Versus, in which each cast member takes turns asking their co-stars probing questions, and if they mess up, they have to consume an incredibly spicy chicken wing.

Nearly 10 minutes into the episode, Luis was asked to describe some of the A-list celebrities he’s worked with throughout his impressive 40-year acting career in just one word.

The first up was Adam Sandler, who worked with Luis in 2002’s Punch-Drunk Love and 2003’s Anger Management, and earned the moniker “amazing”.

Next up was Catherine Zeta-Jones, who currently plays Gomez’s wife, Morticia Addams, in Wednesday.

“Belíssima,” Luis said of the Welsh performer, with whom he previously appeared in Traffic.

Then, he was asked about Jennifer Lopez, who worked with him in 1998’s Out Of Sight.

“OK,” Luis smirked — causing many of his co-stars’ jaws to drop.

The same year Jen starred in Out Of Sight, she also shared her own unfiltered opinions about other celebrities in an interview with Movieline.

“I swear to God, I don’t remember anything she was in,” she said of Gwyneth Paltrow, who would go on to win Best Actress the next year at the Oscars.

In the same interview, J-Lo called Cameron Diaz a “lucky model”, claimed she was “never a big fan” of Winona Ryder, though she praised both women’s looks, and she said that she and Salma Hayek were “in two different realms”.

When Vanity Fair confronted Lopez in 2011 about trash-talking other actors to Movieline, the Hustlers star said she had been “misquoted”.

“I was so misquoted and so taken out of context, and it’s a sore subject for me,” she insisted. “I don’t like to hurt anybody. I don’t like to hurt their feelings. I like to joke, so I do that sometimes.

“What they wrote in that article hurt people. [After reading it,] I just sat down and cried for hours.”
