Pedro Pascal was taken aback when he was announced the winner of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series during this year’s SAG Awards. Even though Pascal entered this award season as one of the favorites following his performance in HBO’s The Last of Us, the actor failed to bag a win on most occasions until 2024’s SAG Awards.
While delivering an emotional speech after the win, the actor hilariously dropped an F-bomb out of nowhere, as the actor later revealed that he was too drunk to remember anything he said.
Pedro Pascal Dropped an F-Bomb While Expressing Gratitude to the Union
Following the competition in the category, which involved Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Matthew Macfadyen, and Billy Crudup, Pedro Pascal was assured he wasn’t going to turn out victorious. But to his surprise, he was announced the winner at the 30th annual SAG Awards, and the actor was less than prepared to accept the Award, as Pascal revealed that he was a bit drunk. But despite not being completely himself, this didn’t stop the GOT Star from delivering a memorable acceptance speech.
And amidst his speech, the actor hilariously dropped an F-bomb while expressing his gratitude to the union, but subtly course-corrected things by stating, “We’re on Netflix”.
“This is wrong for so many reasons… I’m a little drunk. I thought I could get drunk. I’m making a fool of myself but thank you so much for this! I’ve been in the union since 1999 so this is an incredible f-cking honor. To the nominees, all of you, I can’t remember any of your names right now… I’m going to have a panic attack and I’m going to leave.”
While the audience present in that room seems to have missed out on it following the weight of Pascal’s speech, the F-bomb followed by Pascal crediting Netflix was indeed hilarious.
Pedro Pascal Reveals That the Filming for The Last of Us Season 2 Has Been Going Smoothly
Reflecting on the first two weeks of the production of season 2, Pedro Pascal revealed the filming has been going pretty great, stressing that the dedication of the crew members is awe-inspiring. He told Deadline:
“Filming is going amazing. It’s sort of awe-inspiring the kind of focus and dedication that everyone has going into Season 2.”
Speaking about his acceptance speech after receiving the accolade for his performance on The Last of US, Pedro Pascal revealed that he couldn’t recall anything he said on stage. The actor told Tan France that he’d have to YouTube it later to see what he said, and it’d be reasonable to assume that Pascal too would crack a giggle after witnessing his F-bomb out of nowhere.
The Last of US Season 1 is available to stream on Max.
