Pedro Pascal was so shocked after winning at the SAG Awards for his role in The Last of Us that he admitted to the audience that he was drunk – and he’s truly never been so precious.
During last night’s awards ceremony, the actor was nominated in the category for male actor in a drama series alongside Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen for Succession, and Billy Crudup for The Morning Show.
Fellow star of The Last of Us Storm Reid was on stage to present the award with Ted Lasso’s Phil Dunster… and she couldn’t hide her glee as she announced that Pedro was the winner.
The 48-year-old was in a state of astonishment over his name being called out, covering his mouth with his hands before making his way to the stage as the rest of the guests in the auditorium and his fellow nominees applauded him.
After taking his statuette, he admitted into the microphone that the turn of events felt ‘wrong’ to him.
‘This is wrong for a number of reasons,’ he said shakily, before adding: ‘I’m a little drunk, I thought I could get drunk.’
Wearing a loose white shirt and black trousers, he expressed his gratitude towards HBO, the network that makes his critically-acclaimed TV series The Last of Us, in which he plays hardened survivor Joel in a post-apocalyptic world.
Pedro looked as if he was on the verge of tears as he said: ‘Geez Louise… I’m making a fool of myself. But thank you so much for this!’
The actor outlined how he had been a part of the actors’ union since 1999, so it was an especially large honour to win at the ceremony.
He then turned to the other actors who were nominated in his category, saying: ‘To the nominees, all of you, I can’t remember any of your names right now.’
As everyone laughed, Pedro paid homage to the creators of the TV adaptation of The Last of Us, as well as people at HBO.
‘It’s very appropriate you’ve given me a job because I grew up watching your network. I have no skills. I have no other interests. So the least you could do is give me a job,’ he stated candidly.
He pointed towards his agents to pay tribute to them, before also acknowledging his family.
‘My family is maybe watching, I’m not sure,’ he said, as he began to choke up with emotion.
‘I’m going to have a panic attack and I’m going to leave,’ he then concluded, as the camera panned to Barbie star Margot Robbie, who could be seen saying: ‘I love him,’ as she clapped.
Several fans absolutely loved Pedro’s acceptance speech, with one called Yulia writing on YouTube: ‘The way my ribs cracked laughing at the chaos unleashed by him during and post his SAG win. They were the funniest things to happen on the night.
‘Pedrotonine received successful!’
‘I love how sincere this speech is, he was genuinely surprised. I love him so much,’ said a user going by the handle @bruh-ch3hb.’
‘Even if he was drunk but l love his speech so much. It’s genuinely form his heart. Yess my man!! You deserved it all,’ added @pockyk645.
Meanwhile, Nelly fully related to Margot’s reaction, writing: ‘Margot Robbie saying, “I love him” like GIRL SAME.’
