Pedro Pascal can't scan the secret "Game of Thrones"

Pedro Pascal can't scan the secret "Game of Thrones"

Pedro Pascal can handle the heat from a hot arm, but the summer sun on the Game of Thrones set was a different story. Before the actor dodged mushroom zombies in The Last of Us, Pascal played Dornish heartthrob Oberyn Martell in Game Of Thrones season 4, a character whose eyes are infamously gouged out by Gregor "The Mountain." Clegane (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson).

As brutal as it was to watch, the "Mandalorian" star remembers it as the best part of the day in a new episode of the "Hot Ones" show. Pascal told Hot Ones host Sean Evans that he ended up falling "dead asleep" while filming the edge-of-the-seat moment. (“Game of Thrones” and “The Last of Us” are HBO shows. CNN and HBO are both part of the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)

"It was really hot when we were shooting that scene. He's on top of me and he sticks his thumbs in my eyes and they're all the way up his body on his forearms up to his thumbs pumping this blood of cute Björnsson was the sweetest guy ever."

Pascal said the fake blood was so cooling that when it was all over his face it was very cathartic and I fell into the deepest sleep I had ever been. One good thing that came out of this scene for Pascal is probably finding a sleeping pill.

"Now I see, because I'm not a very good sleeper, I have to cover myself with bits of flesh, gelatinous flesh, cold to the touch, and pooled blood, and maybe I'll finally get a good one."
