Who is Storm Reid, the actress who accompanies Bella Ramsey in ‘The Last of Us’ 1×07 on HBO?

The public is clear about it, we are facing one of the best series on HBO Max, but the chapter that plunges us into ‘Left Behind’, the prequel to the original video game, has made fans ask themselves a new question: Who is Storm Reid, the actress who accompanies Bella Ramsey in ‘The Last of Us’ 1×07?

Bella Ramsey already had us in love. The actress, whom we knew from ‘Game of Thrones’ and who played Angelica in the second season of ‘The Dark Materials’, one of the best fantasy series of the moment, He has shown himself to be at the level of Pedro Pascal himself in every episode of ‘The Last of Us’but in the seventh he has had competition.

Storm Reid was born in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, on July 1, 2003. From a very young age it was clear to her that acting was her thing and, at only 9 years old, she moved with her family to Loa Ángeles to make that dream come true..

His first job was in the television series ‘A Cross to Bear’ in 2012, earning him a place in the title with which he would appear for the first time on the big screen, ’12 years a slave’ (Steve McQueen, 2013). Productions such as ‘Hand Games’ (JD Dillard, 2016) were interspersed with children’s titles such as ‘Lea to the Rescue’ (Nadia Tass, 2016) while Reid was sneaking into the agendas of all the industry’s casting departments.

Natural, charismatic and willing to earn a place for herself, the young woman did not take long to assert herself and, in 2018, became an international star thanks to ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ (Ava DuVernay) and the video clips ‘Family Feud’, by Jay-Z and Beyoncé, and ‘Warrior’, by Chloe x Halle.

Although the film did not do too well in theaters, and is now part of the Disney+ catalogue, his work did not go unnoticed. “Reid is one of the greatest assets of the film in general,” they pointed out in The Hollywood Reporter. “Meg’s arc, from being paralyzed by self-doubt to embracing her flaws and her dysfunctional family, is beautifully realized through her subtle and expressive work.”

Ava DuVernay remained convinced of the young woman’s talent and, when she was immersed in the making of one of the great Netflix series, she counted on her again. This is how she appeared in “This is how they see us” and, that same year, as the little sister of the protagonist of “Euphoria”, the great success of HBO Max.

Putting up with Zendaya was just training for her next mission: to do the same as Idris Elba’s daughter in the fantastic ‘The Suicide Squad’ (James Gunn, 2021), one of the best superhero movies.

Now, after surviving ‘The invisible man’ (Leigh Whannell, 2020), returns to horror movies with the recently released ‘Missing’ (Nicholas D. Johnson, Will Merrick, 2023) and, while preparing to scare us in ‘The Nun 2’ (Michael Chaves, 2023), he stars in one of the best chapters of ‘The Last of Us’. Storm Reid has come to stay.
