'The Last of Us' star Ashley Johnson reveals how she reacted to playing Ellie's mother.
HBO’s The Last of Us has aired its final episode – for its first season, at least. The journey across the continental United States for Joel and Ellie has been an arduous journey fraught with danger, peril, loss, and hurt all the way. As this season ends and fans begin to look forward to what’s next, we dissect that final episode with a focus on a newly introduced character, Anna.
Anna is a character that did not appear in the games upon which this adaptation is based. However, the individual who plays the character, Ashley Johnson, is no stranger to the post-apocalyptic world, having voiced Ellie in The Last of Us video games. This time around, Johnson portrays Ellie’s mother who is seen during the episode, close to term and under attack from an Infected.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Johnson goes on to draw parallels between her in-game character and the newly created one. The actress is in the rare position of going from voicing a character who undergoes some pretty harrowing experiences aided by those around her to playing the mother of the said character, and being the first line of defense in the infant’s life.
