Pedro Pascal trades quarantine for a curry house as The Last Of Us star dines out with close friend John Favreau at popular Punjabi restaurant
Pedro Pascal snuck out of the quarantine zone into a curry house on Monday night — and the actor had some very familiar company to boot.
Pascal is currently battling a plague-infested world on the hit show The Last Of Us. Pascal left his occasionally annoying teenage sidekick Bella Ramsey behind and ventured out for dinner in London with good friend John Favreau.
The two friends chose a table at the hugely popular Punjabi restaurant Tayyabs in Whitechapel – an area famed for its vast array of award-winning South Asian eateries.
Tayyabs staff took to Twitter later that night and shared a photo of Chilean star Pascal — who celebrated his 48th birthday on April 2 — and American actor and director Favreau, 56, after their arrival at the venue.
Underneath the post, they wrote: “Familiar faces grace the tables at Tayyabs.”

The two actors are close friends and collaborated on the Star Wars TV spin-off The Mandalorian, which returned with a third season in March.
Pascal plays a titular role in the show, created by Favreau and set five years after the events of the 1983 blockbuster Star Wars Episode VI – Return Of The Jedi.
The program’s first season received widespread critical acclaim and commercial success upon its debut.
The second batch of episodes received a similarly positive response from reviewers and fans of the series.
The third season of The Mandalorian, which is expected to run for a total of eight episodes, debuted March 1 on the Disney+ streaming service.

Favreau previously confirmed that he was working on the program’s fourth season in May last year.
The show’s creator then revealed that he finished working on the new season in February.
During an interview with Collider, Pascal advised fans to expect the unexpected in the upcoming episodes.
“Without giving anything away, I would say the surprises are not necessarily what you would expect from our experience with surprises leading up to this season,” he said.
The artist then commented that he had grown fond of The Mandalorian’s unorthodox storyline.
“There’s this kind of approach to the way the story is told that’s kind of unexpected, and I like that,” he said.
The third season continues the adventures of Pascal and Baby Yoda’s character, with Mando revealing that he is returning to his home planet of Mandalore to clear his name.
