Pedro Pascal’s Coffee Order Shocks the Internet — CNN Reports

Pedro Pascal’s intense coffee habit is making waves online once again — and this time, he’s reacting with humor and a hint of embarrassment.

In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, reported by CNN, The Last of Us star addressed the viral photo that revealed his go-to caffeine fix: a cup labeled with six espresso shots.

“I cannot begin to tell you how violating this was,” Pascal said, laughing, as Kimmel teased him about the mega-dose of caffeine. “It was an incredibly private morning ritual that I never wanted anyone to know about.”

He explained that the routine began with four shots, but evolved over time. “The cups got bigger, the shots got weaker… eventually it became six.”

Trying to defend the habit, Pascal insisted, “I don’t have more coffee for the rest of the day, I swear!” But Kimmel jokingly renamed the drink a “methaccino,” to which Pascal laughed, adding that it actually helps him stay focused: “You sip it, you get really high, and you answer emails and stuff.”

CNN noted that Pascal has a packed schedule that might justify the espresso overload. He’s returning as the lead in HBO’s hit series The Last of Us, set to premiere its second season on April 13. He’s also joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Mr. Fantastic in Fantastic Four, and is set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

With that kind of workload, it’s no wonder his coffee order is making headlines.
