LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pedro Pascal isn't holding himself back at the Emmys 2024.

'The Last of Us' star made a sarcastic comment about Kieran Culkin while presenting the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category.

While announcing the name of the winner, Pascal joked around and blamed Culkin for his arm injury.

Pascal said, “A lot of people have been asking about my arm. 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."

Soon after, Pedro added, “Here are the nominees for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.”

During the award show, Pascal's remarks were bleeped out. 

The camera cut to Kieran, who was stone-faced in the audience as his wife laughed.

The injury Pascal sustained was not caused by a fight against zombies, intergalactic beings, or Culkin. He simply had a fall.

Soon after, the netizens began sharing their stance on the whole matter.

An X user said, "Oh my god that thing Pedro Pascal just said about Kieran Culkin was so funny. It was so funny that I couldn’t hear any of it bc the United States is too scared of curse words on live TV."



 

Another user went on to say, "Kieran culkin and pedro pascal beef is one of the best things to come out of award season."



 

Another wrote, "Adoring the mock rivalry between pedro pascal and kieran culkin."



 

A user quipped, "THE PEDRO PASCAL KIERAN CULKIN JOKE HEHEHEHSHHFHEHE."



 

Another user shared, "Does anyone else also exist in the delusion that they are somehow apart of pedro pascal and kieran culkin’s friendship."
