Recently, it was announced that Isabela Yolanda Moner, better known in the artistic world as Isabela Merced, would be the actress playing Dina in Season 2 of The Last of Us by HBO. Today, we learn that this celebrity has so much passion for this pastime that she had to distance herself from it.
Its not uncommon for actors involved in video game adaptations to try out the original work to get to know it and become familiar with its characters, and thats exactly what Isabela did. She shared how unhealthy video games are for her.
The American actress of Latin descent confessed that she loves video games but had to refrain from playing and even buying a PlayStation 5 because they are addictive.
"I was in a relationship where my ex had a console, and I played video games until 4:00 AM every night. So, I have a very sick obsession with video games, and I told myself I wouldnt buy a PS5," Isabela said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Actress of Dina in the live-action The Last of Us: Part II has already played the game
The actress did not reveal what type of games she used to play so much or on which console, although we can assume it was a PlayStation 5 based on her responses.
However, the actress has already played The Last of Us: Part II. In fact, she played the Naughty Dog title just after the producers of Season 2 contacted her to schedule a meeting to propose the role of Dina.
"Okay, first, I have to play the game," Isabela commented. "I had already watched the series, so I went to my friends house and played it all in one weekend on the PS5."
The actress recalled that it was around 25 hours of gameplay and that it was wild but fun, making it clear that she loved the sequel, although she hasnt had the chance to play the first part.
