Pedro Pascal got back at Kieran Culkin at the Emmys after the Succession star took a playful jab at him at the week prior’s Golden Globes. Culkin playfully said during his acceptance speech at the 2024 Golden Globes last week on January 7, “Suck it, Pedro,” after winning the award for best actor in a drama series category over the Last of Us star.
That same evening, Pascal told Variety that he fell down some stairs at his family’s home and. He said that he is awaiting surgery later this month. He expects to be ready to go back to work by the time season two of The Last Of Us begins production in mid-February. He recently shared a selfie with co-star Bella Ramsey on set. In the caption he joked that the two of them “both hide chewing gum in our teeth. Don’t tell @sagaftra.” The dynamic duo, who play Joel and Ellie on the HBO show, reunited at last night’s Emmys, posing together for an adorable photo.
Pascal Gets Back At Culkin
During the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday night (January 15), Pascal, 48, was able to return the playful jab to Culkin, 41. Prior to presenting the award for best supporting actor in a drama series, Pascal, who has been photographed following the Globes in different colored arm slings, told the audience that he wanted to take a moment to “make this about me.” Pascal, who was nominated for outstanding lead actor in a drama series, brought up his injured shoulder and jokingly suggested Culkin was behind it. “I think tonight is a perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin beat the s— out of me,” Pascal said as the camera panned over to the stone-faced star, who stands at just five-foot-six. Pascal, who is five inches taller than Culkin, was all smiles as the crowd erupted in laughter. Finally, as Culkin broke into a smile, Pascal lost it and laughed even harder, noting that he got him back.
