Naughty Dog may have originally based Ellie on Ellen Page and subsequently changed her design around to resemble Ashley Johnson a little bit more, but it’s still pretty dang close. Poor Ellie can’t catch a break, huh?Įllie’s voice is actually played by Ashley Johnson, who you might remember as the cute blonde waitress from The Avengers - or, if you’re kinda pretentious, as Margaret from Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing.
Now she’s suggesting that they intentionally ripped off her likeness, which she really doesn’t appreciate. So I understand why Ellen Page is kinda annoyed already that everyone’s noticed what a striking resemblance she bears to the 14-year-old Ellie from The Last of Us. It must suck to be a celebrity who looks like a fictional character that wasn’t actually played by you - like, I bet at this point Nicolai Coster-Waldau wants to throttle everyone who’s ever asked him about being Prince Charming from Shrek.
