Speaking Spanish in Opening Monologue
Sporting a very purple long-sleeve shirt, Pascal took the stage to an uproarious crowd that got even louder when he mentioned his hit series The Last of Us. Pascal then talked about his family history. He was born in Santiago, Chile, where he has “34 first cousins who are still there” and is very proud of him. So proud, in fact, they give his phone number out to everyone.
“I was born in Chile, and nine months later, my parents fled [Augusto] Pinochet and brought me and my sister to the U.S.,” he said. “They were so brave, and without them, I wouldn’t be here in this wonderful country.” Pascal then added a message to his family: “Te amo. Te extraño. Deja de dar mi información personal.”
