Pedro Pascal found himself in a surprising situation at the Screen Actors Guild awards in Los Angeles, California. The actor, known for his role in “The Mandalorian,” was admittedly a little drunk as he took the stage to accept an award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series for “The Last of Us.”
As his name was called, Pascal appeared shocked and immediately made his way to the stage at the Shrine Auditorium. Accepting the award from presenters Storm Reid and Phil Dunster, Pascal expressed his gratitude, albeit in a slightly inebriated state.
“This is wrong for a number of reasons,” Pascal said, acknowledging his tipsy condition. “Um, I’m a little drunk. I thought I could get drunk and, uh, thank you HBO. Jeez Louise, I’m making a fool of myself, but thank you so much for this.”
In a heartfelt and humorous speech, Pascal went on to thank his colleagues at HBO and expressed his deep appreciation for the honor. He also humorously mentioned his inability to remember all the nominees’ names, highlighting the surreal nature of the moment for him.
Reflecting on his journey as a member of the union since 1999, Pascal shared his amazement at receiving the prestigious award. Despite his humorous demeanor, Pascal’s gratitude and humility shone through as he acknowledged the impact of his colleagues and mentors on his career.
After his emotional and slightly chaotic acceptance speech, Pascal confessed to feeling overwhelmed and stated that he might have a panic attack before leaving the stage. However, his candid and endearing moments endeared him even more to the audience and his fans.
In a post-award interview with Access Hollywood, Pascal revealed that he was taken by surprise by his win and had indulged in a few drinks before the ceremony. He mentioned tequila as his drink of choice and jokingly noted his unexpected victory amidst strong competition in his category.
Overall, Pascal’s genuine and unfiltered reaction to winning the award added a refreshing and authentic touch to the glamorous event. His blend of humor, humility, and gratitude resonated with viewers and fans, showcasing the down-to-earth persona behind the successful actor.
