The Last Of Us Season 2 Star Discusses Her “Unhealthy Obsession” With Video Games
Isabela Merced joins the cast of HBO’s The Last of Us for its upcoming second season, and the actress has now commented on how she has an “unhealthy obsession” with video games.
Merced told The Hollywood Reporter that when she was in a relationship with her now-ex, she would play video games until 4 AM every night. “So I have a very unhealthy obsession with video games, and I told myself I wouldn’t get a PS5,” she said.
However, when Merced got the call about playing Dina in The Last of Us, she called a friend who had a PS5 and played The Last of Us: Part II in just a couple days. “I had already watched the show, and so I went to my friend’s house and I played it all in one weekend on the PS5,” she said. “It was amazing. I did 25 hours of gameplay. It was wild, but so much fun. So I really liked the second game, but I haven’t played the first game yet. Only the second.”
