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 The 'Last of Us' we'd expect to see in economy. 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.

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.

Aubrey Plaza earns standing ovation after first red carpet appearance since husband's death

Aubrey Plaza made a poignant return to the spotlight, walking her first red carpet since the death of her husband in January. The Marin County homeowner attended the Cannes Film Festival last week in support of the new dark comedy 'Honey Don't!' Plaza stars as a cop who falls into a love affair with a small-town private detective, played by Margaret Qualley (' The Substance '), as they investigate 'a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church,' according to the film's synopsis on IMDB. The project also features Chris Evans (who can be seen next month in Celine Song 's 'Materialists'), Charlie Day and Billy Eichner. During its Cannes premiere on Friday, May 23, Plaza and her castmates received a six-minute standing ovation, with one audience member yelling out 'I love you Aubrey' in support of the star, according to Variety. 'More queer cinema all the time,' the film's writer, Tricia Cooke, declared during the applause. 'Honey Don't!' is set to hit theaters Aug. 22, making it Plaza's first feature since her husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, committed suicide on Jan. 3. The actor is slowly easing back into the public eye as she heals from the loss. In February, she made a live television appearance during 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special' wearing a pink tie-dyed T-shirt, a fashion statement many considered a tribute to both the hobby Baena took up during the pandemic and their wedding day outfits. A week prior, she starred in a Super Bowl commercial for Ritz Crackers, which was filmed last November. The couple had been together for more than a decade, but split months before Baena's death. He reportedly made 'concerning remarks' to Plaza that prompted her to ask a friend to 'perform a welfare check' on him, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner. Plaza now seems ready to return to work. She recently signed on for a new drama, 'The Accompanist,' in which she'll play a rookie child-welfare agent. The film follows a new foster parent, played by Susan Sarandon, as she takes in a 9-year-old girl after she was nearly killed by her dementia-stricken grandfather.

Angel Reese 'not the villain' in Caitlin Clark narrative, Jemele Hill says amid growing WNBA rivalry

The Angel Reese-Caitlin Clark rivalry has another chapter closed after the WNBA found that claims of hateful speech toward Reese by Indiana Fever fans were "not substantiated." The two young phenoms have been tied at the hip since they faced off in the 2023 national championship game, where Reese's LSU Tigers defeated Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes, and in the closing moments, Reese hit Clark with a "you can't see me" taunt. It was a move that Clark took in good fun, saying Reese should not have been "criticized at all" and pointing at the nature of competitiveness. But after a flagrant foul by Clark against Reese on Saturday, all the prior talk from each athlete about a lack of a rivalry seemed to falter. However, former ESPN host Jemele Hill said fans are looking too deep into Reese and Clark, even if they do actually "hate each other." "This is ultimately a conversation about cultural competency. Angel Reese's very existence rubs a lot of people the wrong way. No one knows for sure how she feels about Caitlin Clark, but what we do know from Angel Reese's own public comments is that she feels a way that she isn't given more credit for how she also has added to the popularity of women's basketball in this moment," Hill said in a YouTube video on her channel in a segment called "Spolotics." Hill also said Black athletes are more often "portrayed negatively by the media" than White athletes. "If Black athletes are confident, they're considered cocky and arrogant. If they speak their mind, they're considered troublemakers or ungrateful – same tropes, different day," Hill added. But Hill said the Reese-Clark "rivalry" should be treated like every other sports rivalry. "In sports, we love drama. We love the idea of athletes having to go through something. … We also love fiery competitors and athletes who talk their s--t and back it up. But when it comes to women, or more specifically these two women, we are struggling to see them as just two highly competitive athletes who often are in a position of having to compete for the same things," Hill said. "For some reason, when it comes to Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, we simply refuse to view their competitiveness through that same lens. Maybe they hate each other, maybe they don't. But I want us to graduate to a point where whether or not they like each other is utterly irrelevant." "Angel Reese is not the villain in Caitlin Clark's story, no more than Caitlin Clark is the savior in hers. Every interaction between them is not a think piece. If there are hard fouls, rough language and things get spicy, so be it. If you have no problem when male athletes compete hard against one another or expose their pettiness, do us all a favor and apply that same energy so we can actually enjoy this WNBA season." Reese once claimed that increased viewership in women's basketball was "because of me, too" and "not just one person." She also recently reposted a TikTok that claimed she was "unsafe" while playing in Indiana, and she once also said Fever and Iowa fans had been racist toward her. Clark and Reese were teammates in the WNBA All-Star Game last year. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Disney+ 'Adults' star Jack Innanen talks 'barrier' for viral comedians 'melting' away

It's the season for comedies in TV, going from the success of Overcompensating to the upcoming series Adults (premiering on Disney+ in Canada May 28). Created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), with Nick Kroll as an executive producer, and an ensemble cast featuring Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao and Owen Thiele, the show leans into the awkwardness of starting your adult life. Adults is about a group of friends in their 20s in New York, who end up living together in Samir's (Malik Elassal) childhood home. Samir is trying to be more responsible in his life, but not doing so increidbly successfully. Billie (Lucy Freyer) is trying to navigate a career in journalism, Anton (Owen Thiele) was Samir's college roommate and is a person's who can just be friends with anyone. Issa (Amita Rao) has an infectious personality and hops between odd jobs, and she's dating Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), who is always referred to by both first and last name, and Issa wants Samir to let Paul Baker move in with them. With the core of this show resting in the dynamic between these characters, Innanen shared that it was quite a natural fit. "We did [chemistry] reads, which were great, but I think it wasn't until we actually started shooting the pilot, ... they had like little dates organized for us to go and do," Innanen told Yahoo Canada in Toronto. "But most of the time we kind of just hung out in the hotel room and drank margaritas ... and gossiped our hearts out." "And there was one point when ... we had had a few drinks and Amita was like, 'OK everyone, go around and say a secret that you haven't told anyone.' And we did. And I was like, OK now we're now locked in. Now we're best friends." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Disney+ Canada 🇨🇦 (@disneyplusca) For Innanen, the Canadian star who's originally from Ontario, but now lives in New York, he was initially catapulted to success posting comedy videos on social media, amassing an impressive following. It's not a dissimilar story to Benito Skinner, also known as Benny Drama, who transferred his social media comedy success to the show Overcompensating. What's interesting about the Adults cast is that they all come from different comedy backgrounds, which seems to help each character feel particularly unique. "We had everyone from all different [backgrounds], stand-up to improv, and just all over the spot," Innanen said. "I feel like, for me, it was almost like trying to figure out how to make sure it wasn't like my TikTok videos." "I think that was just so fun, just getting to play with everyone's different type of humour. That was what I loved most. ... And I remember thinking like, oh if I can't be funny in this, then I really suck." But speaking more about successfully moving comedy from one platform to another, it speaks to how, when done effectively, that social media excitement can translate to something that feels fresh and unique in a more traditional TV format. It seems that now is the time that entertainment is taking advantage of comedy talents on TikTok and Instagram that have been able to gather an audience. "I think that barrier is just melting," Innanen said. "There's English Teacher, Overcompensating, these comedians, I think because it's completely just democratized, so anyone who wants to be doing something is doing it online, and then those people then get these new opportunities." "You can do both as well. You can make a TV show, act in a TV show, but then also be doing social media, not on the side, but at the same time, and that they are almost equal in these ways. And I think it's really cool. I love seeing Benny Drama get to do that and kill it. And it's exciting."
