Pedro Pascal revealed how he broke his arm — sort of. The Last of Us actor, 48, took the stage at the 2023 Emmys on Monday, January 15, and jokingly accused award nominee Kieran Culkin of beating “the s**t” out of him. While the live broadcast censored the moment, a few lucky fans managed to capture the uncensored joke on camera.
“A lot of people have been asking about my arm,” Pedro began. “It’s actually my shoulder. And I think tonight is a perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin beat the s**t out of me.” The camera then panned to reveal Kieran’s completely blank, cold expression, which was seemingly planned with Pedro as part of the bit.
