Pascal recalled one recent incident where a driver spat a “big glob of saliva” on his car.
“Yesterday was a day.
It was my fault.
And my sister was like, “F—!”
“Holy s—.
Like a glob from the driver’s side?
He just hocked a hard loogie at you?”
“He spit at me,” Pascal confirmed.
“I was in shock.
It didn’t trigger any rage out of me.
It absolutely humbled me and shocked me, scared me a little bit, disturbed me.”
Pascal replied: “They want me to drink in their saliva.
It made me feel guilty.
I was like, ‘Gosh, people are going through shit.'”
“I remember finishing it and then coming to set the next day being catatonic.
Like, ‘Guys, I just experienced something.’
And then to see you play that part.
You fall into your characters in a way that I think is so gracious.”
Pascal also revealed that he has yet to watch theLast of Usseason 1 finale, which aired in March.
Because it hurts too much.”
“I’m confused about it morally.
I think it’s a difficult choice.
