Pedro Pascal has vowed to protect his The Last of Us co-star Bella Ramsey, who has been in Scotland filming for the second series of Celebrity Traitors.

In an interview with Kiss on 20 May ahead of the release of his new film, The Mandalorian and Grogu, Pascal was asked about non-binary actor Ramsey’s participation in the hit social deduction series.

“Am I going to have to roll in there and mess some people up? Are they going to be messing with them?” Pascal said.

“That’s what I’m saying,” said interviewer Tyler West.

 “That’s my person,” replied Pascal.

The actor appears to have total faith in Ramsey’s gameplay on the show. “They’re so smart,” he said. “Bella’s the smartest person I know. I think Bella’s going to slay that castle.”

When asked if he had any advice for Ramsey in terms of Traitors strategy, Pascal admitted that he would probably “just mess it up for Bella”.

“They’re way smarter than me so I have all the trust in the world,” he said. “They’ve also got the best heart out of anyone I know so maybe it’s: kill them with kindness.

“Those little suckers,” he continued, referring to their fellow celebrity competitors. “They dare mess with them!”
