The death of Pedro Pascal's character in the second season of The Last of Us came as a shock to many fans. The actor's sister, Lux Pascal, is now reacting to the tragic scene in the second episode of the hit HBO show.

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.

‘House of the Dragon' Season 3 teases a major fix for Aegon II's war arc: From brat to burdened king?
As House of the Dragon gears up for its third season, fans are buzzing over a new tease that suggests Aegon II Targaryen may finally move beyond his reckless, impulsive persona. Actor Tom Glynn-Carney, who portrays the troubled king, hinted at a deeper, more introspective arc that could correct one of Season 2's biggest criticisms—the lack of emotional complexity in Aegon's leadership during the Targaryen civil war . Aegon's Season 2 struggles: All fire, no depth In Season 2, Aegon's portrayal leaned heavily into chaos—his immaturity, insecurity, and rash decisions were on full display, but there was little room for variation or emotional nuance. While entertaining, this depiction left audiences questioning the depth of his character, especially in a war as morally grey as the Dance of the Dragons. A journey of self-discovery in Season 3 According to Glynn-Carney, Season 3 will explore Aegon's internal reckoning. 'It's a big journey of self-discovery,' he shared, suggesting that Aegon will begin to question his identity, motivations, and the darker corners of his psyche. This shift could offer a more layered portrayal—one that doesn't excuse his past actions but critically examines them. Read the full quote here: 'I think what we start to see in Aegon as we go through this story is this quest for an understanding of who he is, and why he is the way he is. And answering a lot of questions for himself that later might lend themselves to him kinda leveling up as a human being and taking responsibility and casting light on those areas that were otherwise very shadowed and hidden in dusty corners within himself. So it's a big journey of self-discovery... That's how his arc seems to be coming together as the tapestry keeps being woven.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Not a redemption arc—but a human one While Aegon's past deeds may be unforgivable, the goal isn't redemption—it's realism. Much like Jaime Lannister or Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones, Aegon's evolution could make him more compelling, if not entirely sympathetic. The show's creators seem poised to balance the scales between the Greens and the Blacks, giving both sides emotional weight rather than presenting them in black-and-white terms.

How does Joe Root unwind? Sketching on IPad and playing the guitar
An Apple pencil scribbling sketches on the IPad is how Joe Root will be found spending his time, around cricket but not quite playing it. Talking on UK Vitality's 'Day in the life of' show recently, Root spoke of why he digs drawing and sketches on his IPad whenever he finds a few hours to kill. 'When we are out on tours and in hotel rooms or I'm playing, sometimes I like to draw. I generally draw on my IPad now,' he told the show. 'It's something that if I didn't play cricket, I'd still have done at school and beyond. I just find it's a really nice way to switch off, take mind off stresses of touring or if it's time to fill before flying. It's a nice way to relax. And unwind really,' he said. A large part of it is a creativity outlet but the decorated batsman, looking to drop a bunch of records in coming days, also likened the sketching to cricket. 'There are some parallels for drawing – sketching with cricket really. As a batter you got to be, or I like to think you got to be a little bit of an artist. How you construct innings, how you decide shots you might have to play and how you manage different bowling types. There is a small crossover between the two,' he said. In the show he is seen dropping off his children to school, and asking them what they'd like to become when they grow up. 'Ninja, chef or an inventor,' is the answer, as he adds that a busy winter touring meant he had spent good time through the start of the summer at home with family. When quizzed on how he deals with pressure, Root said, 'If I feel pressure, I go back to, relate to when I started playing. That feeling of when you wake up in the morning and if it was raining outside we would still want to go outside and play cricket. Be it in garden, on the driveway, on the road. Me and my brother would have many Test matches. And we would think we are playing against Australia or South Africa. I remember that raw emotion that enjoyment I got from playing cricket,' he said adding he was keen to enjoy second half of my career, not burdened by captaincy anymore. Often spotted singing Oasis numbers, like Don't look back in anger, strumming an Ukulele, Root also carries a guitar on tours or to matches at home. 'I was very fortunate through a friend who's big supporter of cricket, I got a signed guitar. He basically said 'Good luck for Ashes, beat Australia.' Every now and again you take it on tour, and before long you have two hours and you figure out a song or a riff,' he said. When at home in his Sheffield village, Root has begun playing padel at the local club. 'They opened a padel centre in the village it's been about 4-5 weeks. One thing I love about it is spend time with friends, you get benefits of exercise as well. Not only does it scratch and itch of competitiveness but gets you active. One of the best things of sport is you make lifelong friends,' he said.

'She will forever be furious': Taylor Swift ends friendship with Blake Lively after lawsuit drama, leans on Travis Kelce for comfort
Taylor Swift has ditched Blake Lively with no way back for friendship (Getty Images) What was once one of Hollywood's most adored friendships has reportedly come to a dramatic end. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once inseparable on vacations, red carpets, and NFL game nights, are no longer on speaking terms. According to a revealing Page Six report, the collapse of their relationship stems from a $400 million lawsuit involving Blake's It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni — and Swift is now leaning on her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, for support during the fallout. Taylor Swift distances from Blake and It Ends With Us while finding peace with Travis Kelce The legal dispute exposed private texts where Blake Lively referred to Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds as her 'dragons,' comparing herself to Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. This comment — made in the context of her legal dispute — reportedly outraged Swift, who felt blindsided and misrepresented. 'She will forever be furious at how Blake quite clearly was using her for clout and leverage in her dealings with Justin,' a source close to Swift told Page Six. 'She really hates that Blake would even think like that, let alone write the things she did in that text.' While Swift had previously licensed her song My Tears Ricochet for the film's soundtrack, she never promoted the movie — even before the legal mess surfaced. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Sources say that wasn't by accident. Swift reportedly saw the friendship as casual and low-pressure, not one where she'd be expected to get involved in someone else's legal fight. 'The truth is, the text wasn't even accurate,' the insider said. 'That's not the kind of friendship they ever had—Taylor would never think of herself as Blake's 'dragon.'' Amid the public drama, insiders say Swift has found grounding and reassurance in her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The couple, who've become one of pop culture's most watched pairs, have been spending more time together during Swift's Eras Tour breaks. 'Travis has been a calming presence for Taylor,' one entertainment insider shared privately. 'She's leaned on him throughout this entire fallout with Blake. He gets the pressure she's under and doesn't ask anything from her except honesty and time.' 'They were baking pals, travel pals, home decor pals… and to be totally honest, billionaire pals,' the source added. 'It was nice to be with someone else who 'gets it'.' Now, with the friendship fractured and the legal dust settling, Swift is said to be moving forward with a smaller, tighter circle — one where trust isn't just assumed, but earned. 'Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them,' the source added, quoting Swift's lyric from End Game.
