Pedro Pascal Reportedly Paid Nearly 10 Times More Than Bella Ramsey Per Episode Of 'The Last Of Us', Sparking Outrage
Variety reported that Pedro Pascal received $600,000 per episode. Meanwhile, his co-star Bella Ramsey is rumored to have received only $70,000 per episode – despite both being protagonists in "The Last of Us." Here are the facts.
Does Pedro Pascal make more than Bella Ramsey? Users are outraged after discovering Pascal reportedly made nearly 10 times more than his young co-star. In one viral tweet, @ThePopTingz wrote: "There is reportedly a huge pay gap between the actors in HBO’ 'The Last of Us'. According to Variety, Pedro Pascal received $600,000 per episode, while Bella Ramsey received $70,000, despite both being the protagonists of the hit series. The post has angered many users in the comments, citing concerns of "misogyny" and "ageism."
Others defended Pascal, stating he's a veteran actor while Ramsey is relatively new.
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey's Pay for The Last of Us
Back in 2021, Variety made a report on actors and their incredible salaries. According to their article, Pedro Pascal made $600,000 per episode of The Last of Us – about $5,400,000 for the whole series (9 episodes). However, it didn't list Bella Ramsey's pay.
As stated on several websites, Ramsey is apparently getting paid $70,000 per episode, but it's not clear where they got this information from. There weren't exactly too many credible sources that discussed her pay, so for now, it seems unknown. It wouldn't be surprising if Pedro was getting paid more since he has been in the acting game since the '90s – but a salary of nearly 10 times more would be ludicrous, so let's hope there's no truth to these rumors.
