Pedro Pascal sparks fan frenzy after dumping mystery liquid from cup in public

Pedro Pascal sent fans into a frenzy after he was seen dumping out a mystery liquid following a gym session in L.A. on Friday.

The Last Of Us star, 50 - who has been busy promoting his upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps - poured out what was left inside a paper cup next to nearby plants.

While it appeared to be black coffee, some social media users debated the topic over on X underneath photos of the moment.

One penned, 'It looks like a black coffee, I don't blame him for tossing it onto the plants. Black coffee has a rather bitter taste if it's not made from high quality coffee beans. I drink A LOT of coffee'.

Another typed, 'Also yes idk if it's coffee or a protein shake cause I haven't ever had either so forgive me if I'm wrong. Either way it's funny'.

'Maybe he's pouring the grounds into the planter to compost,' a fan suggested, while one replied with, 'It's a lot of liquid he pours out'.

An X user shared, 'Pedro P: Life is too short to drink bad coffee,' and another added, 'Is it a mocha or a shake? I don't trust either.' 

'How do you know it's not a cup of gravy?' one humorously questioned, while a fan also wrote, 'My only question to that barista. Baby what did he order cause the coffee look wrong.' 

Another said, 'Maybe a bug fell into it,' while others imagined how they would feel if they had been the barista that made a drink Pascal dumped out. 

'I'd hang up my apron for good,' one commented, and another replied with, 'I'd give up on making or drinking it.' 

A social media user wrote, 'I'd have ptsd everytime I'd see a coffee again,' and the individual who posted the snaps added, 'Imagine being the person who made the Pedro Pascal's coffee at work today to come online after your shift to see this.' 

In the photos, the actor could be seen keeping it casual wearing a short-sleeved white shirt as well as a pair of black trousers. 

He completed the ensemble by sporting a pair of glasses and was listening to tunes with earbuds. 

Pascal is preparing for the release of his upcoming superhero movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps - which hits theaters later this month on July 25. 

long with Pedro, the cast also includes Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Julia Garner. 

The premise of the Marvel movie is: 'Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, the Fantastic Four must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer,' per IMDB.   

The Materialists actor has been keeping busy while promoting the film - and recently attended the premiere in Sydney earlier this week on Tuesday. 

Pascal took on the role of Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in the project that was directed by Matt Shakman. 

During a recent interview with Empire, the star admitted that he initially wasn't sure if he would be able to properly portray the character. 

'I wasn't skeptical at all of this as a piece… But I was skeptical over [Shakman's] choice to cast me,' he revealed to the outlet.

'I was questioning if I would serve it as best as it was meant to be served - to convincing as an astrophysicist, as a father, a husband.' 

However, while deciding on the part, Pedro recalled crossing paths with the director in NYC and stated, 'I definitely think it was destiny.'
