Bella Ramsey And Isabela Merced Reveal The ‘Sweet’ Moment After Filming Their 'The Last Of Us' Kiss

After that heartbreaking episode two death, there's no doubt that The Last Of Us is now a show much changed, but it's going from strength-to-strength in season two. At the forefront of that cast is Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced - the two best friends Ellie and Dina who are figuring out what their relationship really means... against the backdrop of multiple daily threats of death after a mushroom-zombie apocalypse.

While the pair did have an intimacy co-ordinator on set and worked with them on the scene, they shared that they didn't rehearse the kiss as such.

'We did it the first time on the first take - rehearsing kisses is always so weird,' said Bella. 'Yeah, It feels like spin the bottle,’ added Isabela.

‘But that was a really beautiful scene and it was so nice for people to be happy for 10 minutes in the world of The Last Of Us,' says Bella.

But it wasn't just a special moment on screen for fans, the pair shared that they had a lovely moment before the series aired.

'It was very magical filming it and then when we had playback with a bunch of gay women it was so so sweet everyone had tears in their eyes,' said Isabela.

'It was really special,' added Bella.

And while on the other end of the scale, Bella does enjoy the many fight scenes the show is known for she did note, 'the amount of fight scenes I had to do this season was exhausting’ and that they were mostly powered by mint and Yorkshire tea.
