Pedro Pascal says Kieran Culkin “beat the sh*t out” of him

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards took a hilarious turn when Pedro Pascal and Keiran Culkin exuded the rivalry of their respective shows at award ceremonies. Though both are HBO hits, the two are the biggest contenders in almost every award circuit.

The rivalry cleared showed off when Culkin jokingly mocked Pascal at The Golden Globes after winning the Best Performance by an Actor Award. Today at Emmys, Pascal reflected on that before giving away the Best Supporting Actor title.

Referring to his arm injury, he said, “I’d like to take just a second and make this about me. 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 sh*t out of me.”
