Pedro Pascal: ‘Fans wouldn’t stop sticking their thumbs in my eyes after GoT’

Eye, yi, yi.

Pedro Pascal fans with serious boundary issues have reportedly plagued the affable actor for years with pushy requests to recreate the traumatic “Game of Thrones” scene where the “The Last of Us” star’s character has his eyes gouged out as he dies.

“I remember, earlier on, because of ‘Game of Thrones’ and the way my character died, people were super into taking selfies with their thumbs in my eyes,” Pascal recently told the Hollywood Reporter, which has rounded up tales of celebrity-fan interactions from stars including, in addition to Pascal, Jenna Ortega and Jennifer Garner.

“And at first, I was so earnest and happy about the success of the character in the show, I’d let them! And then I remember getting a bit of an eye infection,” Pascal said.

The Chilean actor, aka “the internet’s daddy,” has learned to say no since receiving his big break by being cast on the hit HBO fantasy series in 2014. He portrayed Oberyn Martell for a season before being killed off in particularly gruesome fashion.

Here are some other quirky stories shared with THR about celebrities meeting their overexcited fans in the wild.

Jenna Ortega, Wednesday

“I’ve had a couple of weird plane stories, too, where I’ve woken up to notes or things like that. I got off one yesterday, and at the end, the flight attendant took her hair down out of the bun and it was in two braids and she took her bangs down and she said, ‘You made me do this.’”

Ayo Edebiri, The Bear

“A lot of people who are working at restaurants right now will be like, ‘Hey, ‘The Bear’ was really awful to watch. Thanks for making it.’ I’m like, ‘You’re welcome?’ A guy also came up to me in Chicago and said, ‘Hey, I recognize you from the show and I really hated your character. She was really annoying. Great job.’ I was like, ‘Thanks, dawg. Really appreciate it.’’”

Kieran Culkin, Succession

“The new one, which is weird, is people feel like they can touch me. I was with my kids, pushing a stroller, and this guy just grabs me and he’s like, ‘Hey, man, love your show,’ and I said, ‘No touchy.’ That’s as aggressive as I could be. ‘No touchy.’”

Michael Imperioli, The White Lotus

“Some people want to take a picture with me pretending I have a gun to their head, and I never will do that. I’ll strangle them, but I won’t put a gun to their head.”

Jennifer Garner, The Last Thing He Told Me

“I get a lot of ’13 Going on 30.’ It’s, ‘Oh, it’s my comfort movie.’ Or, ‘It’s my wife’s favorite movie,’ or God forbid, ‘My mom’s favorite movie.’”

Jason Segel, Shrinking

“I get Muppets a lot. The kids who were 10 when they saw it are in their 20s now, and that’s a freaky experience. And Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It’s usually an odd dynamic because the kids have seen Muppets, and the parents have seen me naked.”

Tyler James Williams, Abbott Elementary

“I got Chris [from ‘Everybody Hates Chris’] for a long time, and will continue to. Usually, it’s just something that’s hollered from 15 feet behind me as they figure it out … But with ‘Abbott,’ now is the first time I’m getting ‘Mr.’ in front of anything. I’m getting Mr. Eddie. So I’m an adult, y’all.”

Dominique Fishback, Swarm

“Right now, because of ‘Swarm,’ I’m getting, ‘Who’s your favorite artist?’ And I don’t have an answer. It’s ironic that I’m playing the ultimate stan because the first time I went to a concert was in 2018. I don’t really like to stand up that long!”
