The Chilean actor said, quoted by 'People', "I remember, earlier on, because of Game of Thrones and the way my character died, people were super into taking selfies with their thumbs in my eyes."
Pascal, who played Oberyn Martell on the hit show, shared with the fellow actors that fans wanted to recreate the season 4 GoT scene where Gregor 'The Mountain' Clegane, played by Haf or Julius Bjornsson, gouged Pascal's character's eye out in a dramatic fight to the death.
The joke lost some of its humour when 'The Last of Us' star said he got "a bit of an eye infection" from the odd fan encounters. Culkin, who stars in drama series 'Succession', was shocked, saying, "Wow, that's a lot of trust."
