Pedro Pascal is not one to give an awards acceptance speech at a status quo awards show, and we couldn’t be happier about it.

True to form, when he won Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series for HBO “The last of us” in it SAG Awards On Saturday he revealed to the audience that he was a little drunk.

“This is wrong for several reasons. I’m a little drunk. I thought I might get drunk,” he stammered, then expressed his gratitude by shouting happily, “Thank you so much for this!”

Pascal made sure to thank his family and HBO executives, joking that he’s happy they gave him a job because “I have no skills, I have no other interests.” (HBO and CNN share the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)

He also joked that he couldn’t remember the names of any of his fellow nominees, a list that included “Succession” star Keiran Culkin, with whom he had a hilarious fake fight during this awards season.

“I’m going to have a panic attack and I’m going to leave,” Pascal said at the end of his speech with a smile, as he walked off stage clutching his statuette.

Backstage with Netflix SAG correspondent Tan France, Pascal admitted that he really wasn’t sure how he felt about how his speech went.

“I don’t remember what I said, I was just very surprised,” he said.

Pascal has made memorable appearances on stage throughout awards season, but none more memorable than with fellow nominee Culkin, with whom he exchanged witty banter during this year’s Emmys and Golden Globes.

The two are actually friends in real life, Pascal told France, and have known each other for years.

“It’s been amazing to see him on that show,” Pascal said of Culkin’s role on “Succession.”
