Pedro Pascal jokes that he's drinking '12 espresso shots' at LA gym

Three weeks after, Hollywood ‘It’ boy Pedro Pascal joked that he had ’12’ shots of espresso in his cup following a workout at a private gym in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The Chilean silver fox – turning 48 next month – was dressed for action in a beige ‘Heartwood Construction’ sweatshirt over a black T-shirt, grey athletic shorts, and $129 Rothy’s ‘The RS01 Sneaker.’

<p claever since he starred in two binge-worthy, TV shows – Disney's The Mandalorian and HBO's The Last of Us.

The SAG Award nominee currently plays the violent protector Din Djarin in the eight-episode third season of The Mandalorian, which airs Wednesdays on Disney+.

And Pedro portrays the violent protector Joel Miller in Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann’s fungus-filled dystopian drama The Last of Us, which aired the first season finale last Sunday on HBO Max.

The post-apocalyptic series – set 20 years after a global pandemic – broke records for the cable network, and fans eagerly await season two.

The Last of Us has a ‘certified fresh’ 96% critic approval rating (out of 424 reviews) and an 89% audience score on .

It’s based on Naughty Dog’s best-selling 2013 motion-capture video game of the same name.

Pascal will next likely attend the world premiere of Pedro Almodóvar’s 30-minute short film Strange Way of Life at the 76th Cannes Film Festival sometime between May 16-27.

In the Brokeback Mountain-style western, the Hot Ones champ plays Silva, a man who rides a horse across a desert to visit his friend Sheriff Jake (Ethan Hawke) after a 25-year absence.

Pedro also has four other upcoming projects – Nadia Conners’ comedy The Uninvited, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s 1987-set drama Freaky Tales, Giada Colagrande’s thriller Tropico, and he’ll produce and star in the series My Dentist’s Murder Trial.
