In 2023, the eyes of the world were on Pedro Pascal, thanks to his incredible portrayal of Joel in the series “The Last of Us”. Despite his enormous popularity, so far the actor has had to do well when it comes to film awards. Another HBO series, “Succession,” triumphed at this year’s Emmy Awards. Although Pascal was nominated in the “Best Actor in a Drama Series” category, the statuette ultimately went to Kieran Culkin.
Pedro Pascal wanted to drink away his sorrows because he didn’t expect a reward? Quite possible!
However, last Saturday, a good thing came for the Chilean-American actor, something he probably didn’t expect at all. It turned out that it was Pascal who received the Actors Guild Award statuette in the “Best Actor in a Drama Series” category. Then the actor appeared on stage in… a shirt unbuttoned to the waist and disheveled hair.
Before he could utter a word, the actor needed a moment to gather his thoughts. He thanked HBO for producing the series and admitted that he was under the influence of alcohol. – I’m a little drunk and I thought I might get drunk. (…) I’m making a fool of myself, but thank you very much, it’s an incredible fucking honor for me – he said from the stage.
Later, Pascal wanted to thank the other nominees, but he probably couldn’t remember the other names. That’s why he mentioned his family and then started crying. “I’m going to have a panic attack and leave,” he admitted at the end of his speech. When later backstage he was asked what he thought of his speech, he replied:
I don’t really remember what I said. I was just really surprised, so maybe let’s talk later
– He admitted.
