Jensen Ackles has revealed he 'pushed hard' for the role of Joel in TheLastOfUs series.
The countdown has begun for HBO’s highly-anticipated series, The Last of Us. The series adaptation of PlayStation's popular video game of the same name will debut in January with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie respectively. By the looks of the images and trailers released so far, the two actors seem to have embodied their characters and fans are already loving them. However, there was another fan-favorite actor who had Joel’s role “high up” on his radar.
A new clip shared on social media sees Ackles sharing an anecdote about wanting the role at a fan event for Supernatural. In the short clip, the actor admitted “I was kind of really pushing hard for Pedro Pascal’s role in The Last of Us.” Though he quickly clarified "I don't think I was really in the mix or even had a shot at it." Adding “I was like, oh, that was high up on my radar.
Ackles shot to fame with his role as Dean Winchester in Supernatural which ran for 15 Seasons. He recently reprised the role for the prequel spin-off series, The Winchesters which he also produced. He also played Soldier Boy on Prime Video’s hit superhero series, The Boys, with his character immediately becoming a fan favorite.
The Last of Us premieres on HBO on January 15, 2023, and will be available to stream on HBO Max. You can check out Ackles’ comments below:
