The Last of Us Cast Vibing to Old-School Music

We also got BTS action from the cast of The Last of Us, including Pedro Pascal, Gabriel Luna, who plays Tommy and Nico Parker, who plays Sarah, along with the show’s cinematographer Ksenia Sereda, as they vibe to an old school classic, Digable Planets.

The video was posted to Gabriel Luna’s official twitter account, with the caption stating that they were sharing the love of the old-school with the kids. Pascal and Luna think they are “cool” but are unsure whether Parker and Sereda feel the same way. Check out the video below:
