Pedro Pascal’s celebration for Michael B. Jordan goes viral
Pedro Pascal wholeheartedly celebrates Michael B. Jordan’s Oscar win. An X account by the name Sunset Pascal posted, “I can’t get over how happy Pedro was when MBJ won, it’s the cutest thing ever.” Unsurprisingly, the post garnered 30K likes, 2K bookmarks, 1.4K retweets, and 85 comments, as of the time of writing.
In the video, Pascal was seated in the row right behind him, next to Delroy Lindo and his wife, Nashormeh. As soon as Jordan’s name was announced, Pascal vigorously patted him on the shoulder. In fact, one eagle-eyed fan also noticed how Lindo’s wife wanted to get up but couldn’t because Pascal had absent-mindedly blocked her path. Hence, she kept patting The Gladiator star’s arm, urging him to clear the path for her. (via Cinema Blend).
Lindo immediately got up to congratulate Jordan, along with writer/director Ryan Coogler. Emma Stone and her husband also got up excitedly to cheer for the Creed alum. However, fans are loving The Materialists star’s enthusiastic reaction to Jordan’s win. One fan commented, “He was really happy for him. So nice.”
A second fan wrote, “Pedro Pascal is the real deal. He, like Tom Cruise, was on the Sinners boat from day one. Much respect to Pedro. Congratulations to Mike B. Jordan.” A third fan penned, “Now I see why he’s friends with every celeb without knowing them, he is sooooo supportive and standing on biz!!”
A fourth fan remarked, “He’s so excited!!! lol, aww, Coogler came right to the front,” followed by two heart emojis. Finally, one fan shared, “Him clapping 2x faster than everyone else,” accompanied by a crying emoji.
Sinners bagged three other Academy Awards, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score. As per fans, the 39-year-old star feasted at an In-N-Out Burger joint. He also obliged fans with photos at the restaurant, posing with his coveted trophy in his hand.
