Pedro Pascal jokingly blamed Kieran Culkin for his shoulder injury while presenting the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 2024 Emmys.
“A lot of people have been asking about my arm. It’s actually my shoulder,” the “Last Of Us” star, 48, said onstage while sporting the sling Monday night.
“And I think tonight is the perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin beat the s—t out of me.”
As the crowd erupted in laughter after the censored statement, the camera flashed to the “Succession” star, 41, playfully glaring at Pascal.
The “Narcos” actor first sported the massive arm sling on Jan. 7 while walking the Golden Globes red carpet.
At the time, the “Narcos” star avoided answering any questions about his injury, simply telling reporters that he “fell.”
“Be careful. Exactly, it can happen to anybody,” he told journalists in a video shared by the Associated Press.
However, he made light of the situation by rocking a manicure with the word “Ouch” on the injured arm.
The “Mandalorian” star’s jab at Culkin came after the latter beat Pascal for the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor on Television in a Drama Series.
“I was nominated for a Golden Globe like 20 years ago, and when that moment passed, I still remember thinking, ‘I’m never going to be back in this room again,’” Culkin said while accepting the award. “But thanks to ‘Succession,’ I’ve been in here a couple of times.”
He then enthusiastically made a crack at Pascal, saying, “So this is a nice moment. Suck it, Pedro. Sorry. Mine!”
As for the Emmys, Culkin and Pascal are both nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series for “Succession” and “The Last of Us” respectively.
