The Last of Us has introduced yet another character to appear in one episode yet generating tons of buzz. This time around, as Ellie takes Joel to safety and attempts to patch him up and desperately keep him alive, the series flashes back to her past in the Boston QZ. It’s during this that we finally see the tragic tale of her friendship with Riley, played by Storm Reid in The Last of Us on HBO. But for those who enjoyed her heartbreaking performance, you might be wondering what other projects she’s working on.

How Old is Storm Reid?
Storm Reid was born on July 1, 2003, and is 19 years old as of this writing. She is only a little bit younger than series star Bella Ramsey, both playing 2 young survivors of the worst plague to happen to the world. Reid’s performance brings a morose element to Ellie’s past, a dear friend on the same wavelength who showed Ellie a lot about the old world.
Riley, played by Storm Reid, formed a deeper connection than either of them expected. This bond will have ripple effects on how Ellie sees Joel, another person for whom she cares, and as long as he lives without turning, she’ll do anything to stop anybody else she cares about from dying.
