Hollywood actor Pedro Pascal was honoured with the award for male actor i🥀n a drama series at the recently held 30th edition of the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
He waཧs feted for his role in the post-apocalyptic zombie series ‘The Last of Us’.
However, as he took the stage to give his acceptance speech, he was✱n’t exactly sober, reports ‘Variety’.
The actor admitted he thought he could get drunk, likely because he didn’t think he would win the SAG Award after Kieran Culkin won th🧸e same category for his work in ‘Succession’ at the Gold🔜en Globes and Emmy Awards earlier this year.
“This is wrong for so many reasonsꦫ,” Pascal told the audience.
“I’m a little drunk. I thought I could get drunk. I’m making a fool of myself but thank you so m𒐪uch for this! I’ve been in the union since 1999 so this is an incredible f****** honour. To the nominees, all of you, I can’t remember any of your names right now.”
As per ‘Variety’, the actor held back tears as he💙 expressed his gratitude to his family, as he immediately brought his drunken acceptance speech to an end by saying: “I’m going to have a pa⛄nic attack and I’m going to leave”.
This year’s other SAG Award nominees for male actor in a drama series were Culkin, Brian Cox, Billy Crudup and Matthew Macfadyen. Whether he’s won or not, Pascal has b🔯een creating one viral awards show moment after the next this season.
He memorably joked at the 2023 Emmy Awards while wearing a🎃n arm sling that💮 the recent shoulder injury was because “Keiran Culkan beat the shit out of me”.
