As the premiere of Season Two of "The Last of Us" loomed on the horizon, Pedro Pascal sat down with Jimmy Kimmel to discuss the latest buzz surrounding him, which included a paparazzi snapshot capturing his coffee order. Jimmy pulled up the grainy photo and quipped, "The paparazzi not only got your coffee order but zoomed in on an absolutely wild one... So, is that six extra shots or six shots in total?" The original photo, obscured by the blurred details of the paparazzi lens, made it difficult to discern, prompting Pedro to present a different picture as testament to his coffee-loving persona. The label on Pedro's venti cup revealed an iced quad espresso, laden with extra ice and an astonishing six shots of espresso.
Reddit sleuths dived deep into the enigma, explaining the confusion for those puzzled by the espresso tally: "It often hinges on who's taking the order, but in this case, it seems they logged it as a quad and tacked on two more, totaling six shots," offered one insightful user. (To put it into perspective, a standard shot of espresso packs around 64 milligrams of caffeine, meaning Pedro was consuming a whopping 384 milligrams of caffeine each morning! However, according to the Mayo Clinic, as long as he stays under the 400-milligram threshold daily, he's in the clear—LOL!)
After a moment of wiping away a bead of sweat, Pedro chuckled, "I can't even begin to express how intrusive this feels." He added with a laugh, "There's a lot of background to why it escalated to six shots of espresso." "It was originally a quad," he confessed. "But then, I felt like the cups got bigger... and somehow, the shots seemed less potent. Somewhere along the line, it became six shots. It's an incredibly intimate morning ritual that I cherished remaining a secret."
"I assure you, I don't consume any more coffee for the rest of the day," he emphasized to Jimmy, adjusting his glasses. Jimmy quipped back, "This isn't even coffee anymore; it's a meth-a-chino!"
Pedro defended his caffeinated indulgence by sharing his consumption method: "It's served over ice, so you sip it! You sip slowly. You get an exhilarating buzz and tackle emails and such."
The clip, posted on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" TikTok account barely 24 hours ago, has already garnered 3.2 million views and continues to climb. In an instant, viewers grasped why Pedro Pascal is irresistibly charming.
