The Last Of Us Star Pedro Pascal’s Starbucks Order Shared

by

Acting in successful TV series such as “The Last Of Us” demands plenty of effort, and Pedro Pascal, who portrays Joel in the HBO version of the widely-acclaimed video game, kick-starts his day with a good dose of caffeine.

Two years following a fan posting Pascal’s preferred Starbucks beverage on TikTok in March 2023, Pascal graced Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 24th, 2025. During the show, he discussed his extraordinary favorite drink. Despite the anticipation for updates about The Last of Us season 2 after watching the trailer, fans continue to buzz about Pascal’s unique and particular order. At approximately the 2:58 minute mark in the YouTube clip from the entertaining and amusing interview, Jimmy Kimmel inquired about the drink, which is an iced quad espresso with six shots of espresso and extra ice. Given that many individuals consume one or two cups of coffee daily, that’s undeniably a significant amount more caffeine than most are used to.

Kimmel called it “insane” and Pascal said:

The reason I now take six espresso shots instead of four is quite complex. Over time, I feel as though the cups grew larger and the intensity of each shot seemed to decrease. Eventually, this led to me taking six shots… It’s a deeply personal morning routine that I kept hidden from others.

Apart from the common routine of starting their day with coffee or emails, Pascal stands out as he appears to consume a substantial amount of caffeine. As reported by PEOPLE, this drink contains approximately 400 milligrams of caffeine, a quantity that might be higher than what most of his fans typically consume. The TikTok user @alexafromspace shared this Starbucks order in March 2023. According to Heathline, an average coffee drink with 8 ounces usually contains between 102 and 200 milligrams of caffeine. Energy drinks have a smaller range, from 50 to 160 milligrams, while espresso has the highest amount, ranging from 240 to 720 milligrams.

Fans were understandably concerned about the amount of caffeine the actor consumes, but his robust health is evident from his rigorous workout routines for his acting roles. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2024, Pascal shared that he “pushed myself to be stronger than ever before to play the character effectively” in Gladiator II. He portrayed General Marcus Acacius in the action sequel released in 2024. Furthermore, Pascal underwent intense training to embody Joel in The Last of Us , as reported by British GQ, with a focus on core exercises and body weight training.

Pascal has had an extraordinary career, featuring roles on “Law & Order”, providing the voice for Fink in the 2024 film “The Wild Robot”, portraying Javier Peña on “Narcos”, and playing The Mandalorian/Din Djarin on “The Mandalorian”. Fans are eagerly anticipating Pascal’s appearances in both “The Mandalorian” and the character Grogu. Audience members have been speculating about the upcoming season 2 of “The Last of Us”, set to premiere on HBO Max on April 13th, 2025.
