Jordan\u2019s new film <em data-start=\"285\" data-end=\"294\">Sinners<\/em>. The internet\u2019s favorite TV dad took to Instagram to show his full-throated support for Jordan\u2019s latest project, posting a still from the film with a no-nonsense caption:<br data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"468\" \/><strong data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"513\">\u201cShut the f@$k up and go see this movie.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"792\">It\u2019s the kind of raw, passionate support only Pedro Pascal can deliver \u2014 and fans are loving it.

In one of the most gut-wrenching sequences of the series, Joel is ambushed by <strong data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1130\">Abby<\/strong> (played by Kaitlyn Dever), who exacts bloody revenge with a golf club, gunshot, and a final knife to the neck \u2014 all as <strong data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1259\">Ellie<\/strong> (Bella Ramsey) watches in horror.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1480\">\u201cI\u2019m in active denial,\u201d Pascal admitted, speaking candidly about the difficulty of processing the end of his journey as Joel. \u201cI find myself slipping into denial that anything is over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1887\">While Joel\u2019s death was shocking, Pascal revealed that the hardest part wasn\u2019t the violence \u2014 it was <strong data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1621\">Joel\u2019s final attempt to reach Ellie<\/strong>. In what he called the most emotional moment, Pascal described the subtle but powerful effort Joel makes to respond to Ellie, even as life slips away. \u201cI wasn\u2019t sure if it was even visible on camera,\u201d he said, but he felt Joel\u2019s urge to protect Ellie one last time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"2153\">Filming the death scene was emotionally draining for Pascal, who shared that his deep bond with the cast and crew made saying goodbye feel like stepping out of a dream. \u201cIt\u2019s very sad,\u201d he said. \u201cI try not to think too much about it to protect myself emotionally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2155\" data-end=\"2370\">And yet, while he\u2019s mourning one of his most iconic roles, Pascal is still showing up for his friends.
