Pedro Pascal Has Two Conditions To Collaborate With Kieran Culkin
Pedro Pascal has forged a reputation as a huge star in the last decade, appearing in several significant roles. Following his career boost, the actor also claimed several accolades for most of his recent roles. For fans, it’s a delight to watch the actor on screen. Also, the actor has been an everlasting apparel of joy off the screen. Pascal’s most recent Max show The Last of Us hit both mass and the critics’ appeal while shining for gold in award ceremonies.
However, all great things come with astounding rivalry, another Max show Succession has shined even brighter since 2018 and Pascal lost his chance to hold the 2024 Golden Globes and Emmy to Kieran Culkin for his astonishing performance in Succession. And that led to the apparent feud between the stars.
Still, Pascal is open to working with Culkin. “I would love that. I hope so,” Pascal told Deadline when he was asked if he would consider collaborating with Culkin. “If he’ll have me and if he is nice to me,” Pascal added. Regardless, it is hard to deny the fact that the duo would create a great buzz if they collaborated on a project.

A Brief History of The Fake Feud Between Pedro Pascal and Kieran Culkin
It all started at the 81st Golden Globe Awards ceremony as Kieran Culkin triumphed over his fellow nominee Pascal to win the Actor in a Television Drama Series award. “I was nominated for a Golden Globe like 20 years ago,” Culkin said, accepting the award referring to his nomination for Igby Goes Down. “And when that moment passed, I sort of remember thinking I’m never gonna be back in this room again,” he continued.
“And, which was fine, whatever, but thanks to Succession I’ve been in here a couple times, it’s nice—but I sort of accepted I was never going to be on this stage, so this is a nice moment. Suck it, Pedro, sorry. Mine”
Pascal took a jibe at the Succession star while presenting the award for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. The Mandalorian star was seen with his arm in a sling, indicating an injury.
“A lot of people have been asking about my arm, it’s actually my shoulder,” Pascal said while presenting the award. “And I think tonight is a perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin beat the s*it out of me.”
Funny enough, Culkin with a straight face with wide eyes stayed serious for a few seconds only to burst into laughter afterward. Later, both the stars were seen posing for photographs and hanging out during a post-Emmys reception, which was an indicator of the fact that there was no bad blood between them.
