Pedro Pascal sparks fan frenzy after dumping mystery liquid from cup in public
The Last Of Us star, 50 - who has been busy promoting his upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps - poured out what was left inside a paper cup next to nearby plants.
While it appeared to be black coffee, some social media users debated the topic over on X underneath photos of the moment.
One penned, 'It looks like a black coffee, I don't blame him for tossing it onto the plants. Black coffee has a rather bitter taste if it's not made from high quality coffee beans. I drink A LOT of coffee'.
Another typed, 'Also yes idk if it's coffee or a protein shake cause I haven't ever had either so forgive me if I'm wrong. Either way it's funny'.
'Maybe he's pouring the grounds into the planter to compost,' a fan suggested, while one replied with, 'It's a lot of liquid he pours out'.
An X user shared, 'Pedro P: Life is too short to drink bad coffee,' and another added, 'Is it a mocha or a shake? I don't trust either.'
'How do you know it's not a cup of gravy?' one humorously questioned, while a fan also wrote, 'My only question to that barista. Baby what did he order cause the coffee look wrong.'
Another said, 'Maybe a bug fell into it,' while others imagined how they would feel if they had been the barista that made a drink Pascal dumped out.
'I'd hang up my apron for good,' one commented, and another replied with, 'I'd give up on making or drinking it.'
A social media user wrote, 'I'd have ptsd everytime I'd see a coffee again,' and the individual who posted the snaps added, 'Imagine being the person who made the Pedro Pascal's coffee at work today to come online after your shift to see this.'
In the photos, the actor could be seen keeping it casual wearing a short-sleeved white shirt as well as a pair of black trousers.
He completed the ensemble by sporting a pair of glasses and was listening to tunes with earbuds.
Pascal is preparing for the release of his upcoming superhero movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps - which hits theaters later this month on July 25.
One penned, 'It looks like a black coffee, I don't blame him for tossing it onto the plants. Black coffee has a rather bitter taste if it's not made from high quality coffee beans. I drink A LOT of coffee'

Along with Pedro, the cast also includes Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Julia Garner.
The premise of the Marvel movie is: 'Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, the Fantastic Four must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer,' per IMDB.
The Materialists actor has been keeping busy while promoting the film - and recently attended the premiere in Sydney earlier this week on Tuesday.
Pascal took on the role of Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in the project that was directed by Matt Shakman.
During a recent interview with Empire, the star admitted that he initially wasn't sure if he would be able to properly portray the character.
'I wasn't skeptical at all of this as a piece… But I was skeptical over [Shakman's] choice to cast me,' he revealed to the outlet.
'I was questioning if I would serve it as best as it was meant to be served - to convincing as an astrophysicist, as a father, a husband.'
However, while deciding on the part, Pedro recalled crossing paths with the director in NYC and stated, 'I definitely think it was destiny.'
He further reflected on stepping into the MCU and dealing with the pressure to play Mister Fantastic in the superhero movie, per Collider.
'Each time you step into one, and you feel like this can't be scarier, you find out, oh this is scarier.'
Pedro added, 'Going into Games Of Thrones, going into DC, going into Star Wars, and then the entire gaming world that introduced itself like an atom bomb to me.
'And in the best way, because I learned very, very quickly the incredible medium of storytelling that's happening within gaming.'
Pascal and co-star Vanessa Kirby also gave a little insight into what filming the movie had been like, with the actress sharing that she had scolded Pedro over his 'snappy' behavior.
During a joint appearance on The Spill podcast, the pair were asked what they learned about each other during the production.
Kirby laughed which prompted the interviewer expressing, 'Oh, I feel like you need to say something.'
Pedro then jumped in to admit, 'Look, I'm a grump. I'm a grump. It doesn't make me a bad person.'
The Crown actress agreed that the actor was not a bad person but explained if filming went into overtime, Pascal would get 'a little bit snappy and a bit cranky.'
He explained that it was due to him going into protective mode when his co-stars would be honest about their exhaustion on set. However, when he wanted to quickly get scenes done, his castmates would suggest changes to scenes.
'And then the two of them are like "Well why don't we try it like this?", "Oh why don't we try it like that?", "Can we have another go?", "Let's talk about this a little bit longer,"' he jokingly teased.
Vanessa playfully added that the actor would become 'a snappy turtle' and that she would end up giving him a little scolding.
However, the pair appeared to have put those tense moments behind them by sharing a friendly embrace during the interview.

Meryl Streep takes a tumble in towering red heels while filming Devil Wears Prada 2 (even after she tested them out hours earlier!)
It's exactly the kind of thing that all-controlling fashion boss Miranda Priestly would never have allowed to happen. But Meryl Streep – who is returning to play the iconic role in Devil Wears Prada 2 – was able to see the funny side after taking a tumble on the stairs in a billowing scarlet gown and towering heels. The blunder befell the triple Oscar-winner, 76, during filming at New York's Museum of Natural History for the sequel of the 2006 film, set in the cut-throat world of the glamorous Runway magazine. Meryl commanded attention in the glamorous dramatic red dress as she joined co-star Stanley Tucci, who is returning as fashion authority Nigel. The pair waved to the crowd of photographers lining the red carpet as they made their way up the stairs, recreating Runway's version of the Met Gala. However minutes later, the Mamma Mia! star tripped and fell to the ground but luckily saw the funny side laughing off the blunder with Stanley before he kindly gave her a helping hand up. Earlier in the day, Meryl had carried out a practice run on the stairs wearing a pair of wedged sandals before attempting the Met Gala-inspired scene in full costume, complete with red stacked heels. The actress, despite not being in character at the time, looked every bit the fashion icon in a beige trench layered over a black-and-white checked blouse. Like many celebrities before her, she is not the first star to take a tumble as Gigi Hadid tripped on the Met Gala stairs in 2021, and US singer Janelle Monae took a tumble in 2024. The sequel to the film based on the novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, who worked at Vogue under Anna Wintour, will see Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reprise their roles – but in a rapidly- changing media landscape. Elsewhere during the scene, Bridgerton's Simone Ashley, who is joining the cast, looked sensational in a show-stopping black mesh glittering number. David Frankel - who directed the first 2006 movie - is returning as director on the sequel as well. Aside from Anne, Emily, Stanley and Meryl, other stars joining the original cast in the second movie include Simone Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, Kenneth Branagh, Tracie Thomas, B.J. Novak and Justin Theroux are other cast members in the project. The premise: 'Follows Miranda Priestly's struggle against Emily Charlton, her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media while Miranda nears retirement,' per IMDB. The actress, despite not being in character at the time, looked every bit the fashion icon in a beige trench layered over a black-and-white blouse as she practised in her stacked heels The blunder befell the triple Oscar-winner, 76, during filming at New York's Museum of Natural History for the sequel of the 2006 film, set in the cut-throat world of the glamorous Runway magazine By the time the sequel hits theaters next year in May 2026, it would be 20 years after the first movie was released. The Devil Wears Prada was a critical success and raked in $326.7 million in the box office on a budget of around $35-$41 million. It also garnered two Oscar nominations, such as Best Actress for Meryl Streep. Other nods included five BAFTAs and three Golden Globes - with Streep winning for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. During an interview with WWD, Anne - who is also set to star in The Princess Diaries 3 - opened up about reprising previous roles. 'I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films,' she recalled, while adding that she had been young when making both The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries. 'I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel.'

Amanda Bynes shows off weight loss results after revealing Ozempic plans
Amanda Bynes showed off her trimmer figure in Los Angeles on Friday after opening up about her Ozempic weight loss journey. The former Nickelodeon star, 39, was spotted running errands in a fitted white T-shirt and leggings, a stark contrast from her recent outings and social media posts, where she's often bundled up in oversized hoodies and sweatpants. In June, Amanda revealed that she was starting the weight-loss jabs, adding: 'I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 now, so I hope to get down to like 130.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO The outing comes after she announced joining OnlyFans in April, telling fans she was using the platform solely to communicate with them, making it clear she had no plans to post anything 'sleazy'. Calling it a 'career renaissance', she wants to use it to divulge stories from her time at Nickelodeon. A source close to the former child star has claimed the move will not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but will also be a safe space to reveal 'what happened from her past at Nickelodeon'. The insider told Daily Mail: 'Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way. Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities. 'She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe – nothing naughty. 'She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don't know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon. 'She wants to make it a spot where fans can go and treat it like a meet and greet. She is seeing OnlyFans as a bit of a career renaissance.'

Hollywood heartthrob starring in one of this summer's biggest blockbusters looks unrecognisable in throwback snaps - Can YOU spot who he is?
His role in The Last Of Us saw him become a household name in his 40s, despite a years-long career. The Chilean-American actor's big break came in 2014 when he landed a role in Games Of Thrones. Most recently he has been the focus of the big screen with appearances in the huge Gladiator sequel featuring Paul Mescal, as well as the summer's biggest blockbuster - The Fantastic Four. His fashion sense has also turned heads on the red carpet, thanks to his choice of tight-fitting vests and thigh-high boots. But the actor looked unrecognisable in an array of snaps from before his Hollywood fame. Posing with best friend Sarah Paulson, the star kept it casual in a bomber jacket and untucked pink shirt for a Broadway premiere in 2005 - but can YOU guess who it is? It's none other than Hollywood heartthrob and all-round icon Pedro Pascal. Most recently Pedro has a blockbuster on his hands with the release of his new superhero film. The Fantastic Four: First Steps launched with a bigger-than-expected opening weekend, raking in an estimated $118 million domestically and another $100 million overseas, for a global debut of around $220 million, according to Comscore. The 50-year-old Mandalorian star is among the Marvel Studios film's iconic quartet, and the new film led at the domestic box office for the past two weeks. Directed by WandaVision's Matt Shakman, the film stars Pedro, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the latest version of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing. But before his mega fame, Pedro had to claw his way past his own very harrowing real-world demons in order to achieve a lasting career. Pedro, who is originally from Santiago, Chile, has faced an incredibly rocky road on his path to stardom, both professionally and personally. He has previously detailed how his parents were forced into hiding when he was just four months old to evade capture during then-dictator Pinochet's crackdown against opposition. Pedro's world was rocked once again when his father became involved in a fertility scandal that saw him charged with mail fraud and income tax evasion - before fleeing the country ahead of the trial with his family in tow. And the star would face more tragedy when his mother, who he called 'the love of his life,' tragically took her own life. Nonetheless, Pedro continued working away at his career and would eventually get a big break in 2014 that put him on a whirlwind trajectory. He was born Jose Pedro Balmaceda Pascal in Santiago, Chile, on April 2, 1975, to a child psychologist named Veronica Pascal and a fertility doctor Jose Balmaceda. When he was just four months old his parents were forced to leave him and his sister with their aunt, so they could avoid capture during then-dictator Pinochet's crackdown against his opposition. Six months later, the couple were able to climb the walls of the Venezuelan embassy and claim asylum. The family were able to relocate to Denmark before arriving in the United States, where they first lived in San Antonio, Texas. But they would later move again to Orange County, California, when he was 11. From a young age, the star fell in love with movies, since he told Variety that his parents would often take him and his siblings to the cinema to 'soak up as much American culture as possible.' He initially dreamed of being a competitive swimmer, participating in state championships until the age of 11, but later stopped to instead focus on strengthening his skills as an actor. After finishing high school, he studied acting at University's Tisch School of the Arts in New York City, where he graduated from in 1997. While he was in college, his father became involved in a fertility scandal that saw him charged with mail fraud and income tax evasion. In the early years of his career, Pedro landed a slew of small guest appearances in shows like The Good Wife, Homeland, The Mentalist, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: SVU, and Graceland. But despite landing a series of bit-parts, his big break came in 2014, after he was cast as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of Game of Thrones. Following his success in Game of Thrones, Pedro was met with a flurry of offers. He went on to star in the Netflix show Narcos, the 2015 movie Bloodsucking Bastards, the spy comedy Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the monster movie The Great Wall, and The Equalizer 2 (opposite Denzel Washington).
