“It just made me…”- &#8216;The Last of Us&#8217; Actress Nico Parker Reveals How Billie Eilish Influenced Her Performance in the Show

Nico Parker seems to have gotten some inspiration from Billie Eilish. The
English actress was most recently cast as Sarah for the tv show adaptation of
the famed game The Last of Us. She also worked in the movie Dumbo, making it her
first big role. But every role is a new challenge, and for the teen, playing a
serious role required some extra nudge.



Billie Eilish is an icon and inspiration for many. The singer is known for her
delicate angelic voice and alternative pop style of music. And just like million
other fans, Nico Parker also listens to the Grammy award winner. So when she had
to prepare for her role in Last of Us, she listened to a song by Eilish that
inspired her.


HOW DID BILLIE EILISH HELP INSPIRE NICO PARKER FOR HER ROLE IN THE LAST OF US?

The Last of Us. has released on the 15th of January, 2023. Like many other
adaptations, the series is already making rounds for its impressive creation and
cast. Nico Parker who played the role of Sarah in the series recently gave an
interview for TVLine. As per TVLine’s
[https://twitter.com/TVLine/status/1614829658725560320] Twitter post, the
actress spoke of her big premiere, and how Billie Eilish’s music inspired her to
prepare for her role. The actress mentioned the singer’s song named Eight, and
said “It just made me think like Sarah being very young and in the moment”



The song opens up with a baby voice with the lyrics, “wait a minute, let me
finish“. The lyrics felt very relevant for Parker when connecting to her
character. The song Eight was released back in March of 2019 and was well
received like many in her last, mostly because fans are able to relate the music
to their life.
