At the Golden Globes, Pedro Pascal attempted to pull a prank on Matt Damon. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan.

Variety reported on what TV viewers of the Golden Globes didn't catch. One thing was Pascal, who showed up with his left arm in a sling, trying to prank call Damon in between commercial breaks. Damon was sitting on the other side of the room with his Air cast and crew.

“Pascal laughed hard after he realized that he was talking to voice mail rather than to Damon himself,” Variety's report states.

Hopefully, the two got to meet face-to-face at some point during the ceremony.
