Pedro Pascal proves he’s just like us on flight to Cannes Film Festival
The “Last of Us” we’d expect to see in economy.
Pedro Pascal shocked fans when he was spotted flying economy on a commercial flight from London to the Cannes Film Festival in France — proving even A-listers don’t always need first-class service.
The heartthrob was en route to the world premiere of his latest film, “Eddington,” when filmmaker Lucas Pelizaro captured a now-viral video of “The Mandalorian” star boarding the British Airways flight on May 16 and smiling as he settled into a cramped window seat among surprised coach passengers.
“Pedro Pascal flying economy on a regular London to Nice flight, just casually sitting among everyone else on his way to Cannes!” the director captioned his video, which has since garnered more than 937,000 views on TikTok.
The satirical video, which humorously suggested that the “Game of Thrones” alum was stalking Pelizaro to the star-studded event, also showed Pascal, 50, queuing like a regular traveler at the busy terminal.
The “Materialists” star was also seen stowing away his luggage in the overhead bin, chatting with fellow travelers — and later dashing back to the aircraft after realizing he’d forgotten his phone upon landing.
“All jokes aside, the fact that he flew economy makes me love him even more,” one fan commented on X.
Another praised Pascal for being “just like us!”
“More respect to him,” another added.
The Emmy-nominated “Last of Us” star was seen later that day strutting the red carpet at the 78th annual event with his co-stars Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Joaquin Phoenix and director Ari Aster.
The group made headlines when the “Poor Things” actress was unexpectedly attacked by a bee while promoting the film.
Stone, 36, attempted to stay calm but grabbed onto Pascal’s shoulders and hid behind him until the pollinator made a beeline in another direction.
She and the actors were seen laughing over the pest’s photobombing moment before proceeding to pose with more composure for the photographers.
The following day, Pascal again set the thirsty internet ablaze when he wore a black tunic that showed off his toned arms and torso to the “Eddington” photo call.
