Viewers of the Golden Globes over the weekend may have noticed that Pedro Pascal, star of The Last of Us, had his left arm in a sling. It has now been revealed that Pascal broke his arm after falling down the stairs at his family's home. He is scheduled for surgery this month, but has stated that he will be ready for The Last of Us Season 2, which is set to begin production in mid-February. Despite his injury, it appears that the show's schedule will not be affected.
The exact nature of Pascal's injury is unknown, but that sure sounds like a speedy recovery time. In any event, Pascal appeared to be in good spirits during the awards show.
The Last of Us is a show filled with action. In Season 1, Pascal made great use of his stunt double, Denton Edge, saying, "I would want him to step in at every possible opportunity." Edge took on various physically demanding sequences, including fights, throwing people against walls, and falling off horses.
Pascal was nominated for Best Actor in a TV Drama and was up against Kieran Culkin from Succession. Although Culkin won, he jokingly taunted Pascal in his acceptance speech with "Suck it, Pedro." The camera then cut to Pascal, who appeared to recreate his famous laugh/cry meme.
Editor's P/S
As a dedicated fan of "The Last of Us" and Pedro Pascal, I was initially concerned upon hearing about his arm injury. However, I am relieved to know that despite the unfortunate accident, the production of Season 2 remains on track. Pascal's dedication to the show and his commitment to be ready for filming in mid-February demonstrate his professionalism and passion for the project. I am confident that he will make a speedy recovery and continue to deliver an exceptional performance in the upcoming season.
Pascal's positive attitude and sense of humor during the Golden Globes, despite his injury, are truly admirable. His ability to laugh at himself and playfully engage with Kieran Culkin's joke highlights his charismatic personality. This only reinforces my admiration for him as an actor and as a person. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing Pascal back in action as Joel in Season 2 of "The Last of Us," and I have no doubt that he will continue to captivate audiences with his talent and dedication.
