Pedro Pascal Admits being drunk in a goofy SAG Awards acceptance speech
Pascal, who played Joel Miller in the series adaptation of The Last of Us game franchise, had once admitted that his knowledge of the game was very limited when he first auditioned for the role.
Turns out, he had just enough knowledge to play the character that would help him bag the coveted SAG statuette. As Pascal took the stage to accept the honor tonight, he kicked off his acceptance speech by admitting that he was drunk. “This is wrong for a number of reasons. I'm a little drunk — I thought I could get drunk,” he said before going on to scream, “Thank you so much for this.” 
“I've been in the union since 1999 so this is an incredible fu—ing honor,” he added.
Before concluding his speech, Pascal also gave a nod to his fellow nominees in the category with a touch of humor. “I cannot remember any of your names right now,” he quipped.
Other nominees in the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series category
Pedro Pascal bested fellow nominees like Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Matthew Macfadyen for Succession, and Billy Crudup for The Morning Show to win the Best Actor in a Drama Series accolade.
SAG Awards 2024 can be streamed on Netflix and on the organization's official YouTube channel.
