Pedro Pascal has revealed that he took an Ambien on the night he got the job to play Joel in HBO's The Last of Us, and because of the sleeping drug he took, he forgot he landed the gig.

On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Pascal recalled that fateful night. He was in London at the time and the rest of the team on The Last of Us was in Los Angeles.

"I got sent these scripts. I was told Craig Mazin wants you to read these scripts and if you like them, he'd like to talk to you. I loved Chernobyl. It was unbelievable. I read the first script for [The Last of Us] and I was like, 'Yeah, yeah yeah, I want to meet him!' We talked. We fell in love," Pascal said.
