Pedro Pascal reveals the hilarious reason he forgot he was cast in ‘The Last Of Us’

This story is anything but a nap.

Pedro Pascal admitted to Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight ShowThursday that he completely forgot he landed the lead role of Joel in HBO’s adaptation of the popular video game “The Last of Us.”

The former “Game of Thrones” star explained to Fallon that he was working in London when he was asked to have a video call with series showrunner Craig Mazin and video game creator Nei Druckmann, both in Los Angeles, California.

Pascal said the call went well, but he wasn’t sure if he had booked the role.

“And by then, it’s too late. I have to get up in the morning [so] I have an Ambien,” Pascal said coyly, explaining that his “adrenaline” was pumping after the promising phone call.

“Yeah, take a sleeping pill so you don’t have to think about anything,” Fallon said.

– Yes exactly! Pascal said. “But I get a call and they say I got the job after taking Ambien. So I was excited, I guess, but I didn’t remember.”

Pascal said he woke up this morning thinking he was still waiting for an answer on whether or not he got the gig.

“The first thing that came to mind was, ‘Oh man, I really want the job. I’m in London. I’m in Los Angeles. I’ll be on the phone all day. It hasn’t happened in a while. I will miss you. I’ll think about it all day.”

But the “Mandalorian” star said that all changed when she checked her phone and noticed a pile of congratulatory messages.

“When I looked at my phone … I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I got the job!'” Pascal said.

Bella Ramsey, Pascal’s “The Last of Us” co-star, told HBO that when it was cast in the show, it was also a “surreal” experience, but for an entirely different reason.

From left: Pascal and Bella Ramsey in episode 3 of “The Last of Us.”

The Hollywood Reporter explained in a January profile of the show that Ramsey was cast relatively quickly over an actor who wasn’t a household name, giving him a severe case of impostor syndrome.

“What am I doing here?” he remembered thinking about the socket. “‘You chose the wrong person’ – everything that goes through your head.”

Well, if that anxiety kept her up at night, at least we know what Pascal would have driven her to do.
