Pedro Pascal fell 'dead asleep' during 'Game of Thrones' death because it was ‘so hot’

Pedro Pascal is not afraid of gore.

Pedro Pascal claimed that filming the "Game of Thrones" death scene for his character Oberyn Martell was so "relaxing" that he actually passed out on the set.

The "Mandalorian" and "The Last of Us" star discussed the violent scene while participating in First We Feast's "Hot Ones" interview series, during which celebrities consume hot chicken wings.

Ser Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane (Hafór Jlus Björnsson) breaks Martell's skull in the 2014 episode, dripping blood all over the stone floor.

Pascal was enjoying himself despite the gore.

"There were all of these fleshy bits that they were kind of placing all over my face, and pumping blood so that it would pool, you know, and spread through the amphitheater for this good wide shot of the two of us from above," he told host Sean Evans.

"And I was dead asleep."

The day they recorded Björnsson's death, according to Pascal, was "extremely hot," but the blood being pushed via tubes along his body was noticeably cool.

Pedro Pascal LOST to ‘Hot One’s’ sauce at last

As Evans tells the actor that it is time for him to face a sauce called "The Bomb Beyond Insanity," Pascal reaches the stage in the video where the sauces he must taste become extremely fiery.

Pascal initially comes off as quite bold and enthusiastic, but as the spicy sauce takes over his mouth and throat, the Mandalorian actor starts coughing and guzzling down large amounts of milk—despite the fact that, as he humorously points out in the video, he despises the beverage.

Pascal continues to apply ice to his face in an effort to distract himself from the burning in his mouth by focusing on what he is saying.
