" Gordon said White's protagonist "is a character that people feel so protective over, and it's been kind of controversial to bring a romantic element into the show." "That's been at times annoying, fascinating and interesting — just to be a part of something that people have opinions on," she added.

Did you know Kaitlyn Dever faced personal tragedy just days before her powerful scene in 'The Last of Us'
Kaitlyn Dever 's haunting debut as Abby in 'The Last of Us' Season 2 was already emotionally charged — but few knew that the actress was quietly carrying her own devastating grief behind the scenes. In a recent interview with GQ, the rising star revealed that she filmed her first intense scene — discovering her character's father's dead body after he's shot by Pedro Pascal 's Joel — just days after burying her own mother, who had been battling cancer for 14 years. 'Even though death is part of the human experience, we are not meant to be used to grief,' Dever reflected. 'Watching your best friend die… I had just experienced that.' Shooting the emotionally gut-wrenching scene so soon after her real-life loss was, in her words, 'gut-wrenching.' The actress admitted that repeating the lines in a scene that eerily mirrored her own trauma made it all the more painful. 'That was a crazy line to repeat over and over again because I had just seen her. She wasn't alive anymore, and I saw her body in the hospital.' To navigate the overwhelming pain, Dever turned to words that brought her comfort — a heartfelt speech by Andrew Garfield after the loss of his mother. She shared how watching Garfield open up about grief gave her strength. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo 'I would Google it and watch it often… because I always felt like the worst thing in my life that could happen was losing my best friend.

Despite the emotional toll, Dever channeled her grief into a performance that has already struck a chord with audiences.

Andrew Garfield's outspoken grief helped with loss of my mother
The Last Of Us actress Kaitlyn Dever has said that Andrew Garfield being so outspoken about his grief after his mother's death helped her with her own loss. Dever revealed last year that her mother died after a breast cancer diagnosis, weeks before she filmed a scene for the post-apocalyptic HBO drama in which her character speaks about a brutal death. The 28-year-old, also known for Netflix dramas Unbelievable and Apple Cider Vinegar as well as the comedy film Booksmart, told GQ Hype that she has repeatedly watched Spider-Man star Garfield's Stephen Colbert interview in order to learn how to cope. She said: 'I would Google it and watch it often, because I always felt like… the worst thing in my life that could happen was losing my best friend. 'And I always thought that I wouldn't be able to go on. 'But then I'd look at Andrew and think, 'well, his life seems to be moving forwards'.' She also spoke to the online magazine about filming The Last of Us days after her mother's funeral. Dever, who attended London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (Rada), said: 'I had just experienced (my loss). 'Even though death is part of the human experience, we are not meant to be used to grief and watching your best friend die. So that was a crazy line to repeat over and over again because I had just seen her. 'She wasn't alive any more and I saw her body in the hospital. And that experience is so gut-wrenching. Nothing will ever be as bad as that.' Her character Abby tells Joel Miller, played by Pedro Pascal, she found her dead father's body shortly after he was shot, as she tries to get revenge against the protagonist. The second series of The Last Of Us was released in April and stars English actress Bella Ramsey as Ellie, who is kept safe across the post-apocalyptic world by Joel. Garfield, who was born in the US and later moved to the UK, began filming Netflix's biography Tick, Tick… Boom!, for which he was nominated for an Oscar, just after his mother Lynn died from pancreatic cancer in 2019. He recalled in 2021 to Colbert that he hopes 'this grief stays with me because it's all of the unexpressed love that I didn't get to tell her, and I told her every day, she was the best of us', while promoting the film.
