Pedro Pascal has joked about the reason behind his arm sling at the Golden Globes and at the Emmys last night (January 15).
The Last of Us star, who attended the Emmys ceremony with his sister Lux, continued the playful beef with Succession's Kieran Culkin, joking that the Roman Roy actor was behind his shoulder injury.
Presenting the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (which went to Succession's Matthew Macfadyen), Pascal announced he would "like to take just a second and make this about me", proceeding to spill the beans about his accident.

"A lot of people have been asking about my arm," Pascal continued.
"It's actually my shoulder, and I think tonight is a perfect time to tell everyone that Kieran Culkin beat the shit out of me," he joked.

The "rivalry" between Pascal and Culkin, who were then seen hanging out at the HBO Max Emmys afterparty in posts on Twitter/X, has been one of the highlights of this awards season.
It was Culkin who kicked it off at the Golden Globes, which took place earlier in January. Accepting the award for Best Actor in a TV Drama, Culkin addressed his fellow nominee Pascal, jokingly telling him to "suck it".
"This is a nice moment for me," Culkin said on stage at the time.
"Thanks to Succession, I have been [in this room] a couple of times. It's nice but I accepted I was never going to be on the stage. So this is a nice moment. Suck it, Pedro! Sorry. Mine!"
Both Culkin and Pascal were nominated for an Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama Series, with Culkin ultimately winning the prize.
The Last of Us airs on HBO in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW in the UK. Succession aired on HBO in the US, and is available on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
