Lux said, "I saw it and I have to say that being Pedro Pascal's sister, I knew how that episode would end. I knew what was going to happen. But even so, I saw it and I wanted to throw the iPad. I mean I burst into tears."
She went on to add, "This is not the first time he's done it to me. It's not the second time he's done it to me. I think it's the fourth time he's done it to me. Because how many deaths has he had? Game of Thrones, Equalizer 2, The Last of Us - each is more violent than the other... seeing my brother die that way, I didn't like it at all."
The Last of Us, created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO, is based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog. Set 20 years in the future, it shows a world ravaged by a fungal epidemic that turns the infected into zombie-like creatures.
Pedro was recently at the Cannes Film Festival with his new film Eddington, directed by Ari Aster. He and Lux posed on the red carpet together after the premiere. Pedro is also gearing up for the release of the romantic drama Materialists, which stars Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans. It is directed by Celine Song of Past Lives fame.
