Pascal broke into laughter and then went on to make a sad face but it was simply Ramsey’s cheer for him that simply stole the show. The duo has shared a very close bond on and off screen since they started working on the show. Ramsey had revealed in an interview that their bond started to develop as the relationship between Joel and Ellie strengthened on the show.

The duo’s chemistry on-screen was one of the major things that the audience loved and pointed out that they were perfectly cast for their characters. In a segment of Variety’s Actors on Actors with Steven Yeun last year, Pascal said,

“I couldn’t have asked for a more anchoring, generous, thoughtful teenager. And I don’t mean to say that in a patronizing way. I relied on Bella for so much of the experience. We were both scared and shy about that, but Bella just inspired me to be mature about it.”

Pascal added that he has not met someone like Bella adding that they brought the best out of him as a person.
