Pedro Pascal, the heartthrob we all know and love from “The Mandalorian” and “Game of Thrones,” surprised everyone when he decided to fly economy on a British Airways flight from London to the Cannes Film Festival in France. Yes, you read that right, the A-lister chose to sit among us mere mortals in coach rather than enjoy the luxuries of first class. The shocking moment was captured by filmmaker Lucas Pelizaro, who shared the video on TikTok, quickly gaining over 937,000 views.
In the viral video, Pascal, 50, can be seen boarding the plane with a smile on his face as he settles into a cramped window seat, much to the surprise of fellow passengers. Pelizaro jokingly suggested that the star was stalking him to the star-studded event, adding a humorous touch to the unexpected sighting. Despite his celebrity status, Pascal was seen queuing at the terminal like any regular traveler, stowing away his luggage in the overhead bin, and even dashing back to the aircraft after realizing he had forgotten his phone upon landing.
Fans couldn’t help but praise Pascal for his down-to-earth attitude, with one commenting, “The fact that he flew economy makes me love him even more.” Another fan added, “More respect to him for being just like us!” The Emmy-nominated actor later strutted the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival with his co-stars, including Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Joaquin Phoenix, and director Ari Aster. The group made headlines when Stone was unexpectedly attacked by a bee during a promotional event for their film, “Eddington,” leading to a lighthearted moment where she clung onto Pascal’s shoulders for safety. With his toned arms and torso on display at the photo call, Pascal once again set the internet on fire, proving that even in economy class, he’s a star like no other.
