Milo Ventimiglia has brought tears of sadness as tragic patriarch Jack Pearson on This is Us, so it’s only fitting that he provide us with a few laughs. This he accomplished at HBO’s post-Golden Globes bash at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday night, when he fell into the hotel’s pool.
No one, including Milo, spilled the specifics on how he actually ended up in the drink, but it seems it was more of a slip and fall than an attempt to be the “life of the party” on Milo’s part. NPR reporter Eric Deggans shared a snap of the “scene of the crime” on Twitter, captioning the pic, “At HBO’s Golden Globes party. Believe I just saw Milo Ventimiglia from This Is Us slip and fall into the pool, which is mostly covered but open in one spot…”

Milo later shared a quick video on his Instagram feed, sporting “wet look” hair, his “Jack ‘stache”, oversized glasses (I usually love specs on a guy, but those huge frames aren’t doing that handsome face any favors) and a black t-shirt in place of his soaked suit from the party. He congratulated his co-star, Sterling K. Brown on winning (well-deservedly, I might add) on the award for Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama (the first African-American actor ever to win the prize) stating “Good time at the Globes tonight. Congratulations Sterling. Excited. And everyone else, great night.” He went on to add that “I’m back home, I’m studying for tomorrow. And yes, I fell in the pool.”
The “studying” was reading a script for an upcoming episode of This is Us. When holding up the script for the camera, some eagle-eyed fans were able to see what might be a possible spoiler for the show, with Jack discovering that 17-year-old Kate has skipped school. I’m not sure how much that plays into the storyline of Jack’s inevitable demise, but it’s a development that could prove quite interesting as the second half of the season progresses.

I don’t watch the show but have been thinking about giving it a try. He looks a bit like Kip from Napolean Dynamite in with the glasses and ‘stache.
I don’t watch it either. Those I know that have usually seem sad discussing it. So, I’ll hang back.
You should definitely give it a whirl. I started watching half way through the first season (after catching up on-demand) to see what the fuss was all about, and I’m so glad I did. It really is a good show with great storytelling and superb acting. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Good to know. Thanks, smcollins! 🙂
What an awful mustache! I don’t watch the show, does he wear it for the character or is it a life choice? It reminds me of Ron Swanson…
For the character.
Last night’s episode referred to his “porn star mustache” so yes, it is part of the character.
I get such strong nasty vibes from this guy. Like he’s 24/7 being a poseur. I don’t trust him.
Yes, me too! I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Perhaps there was a greater reason why he fell into the pool – like gaining some humility…
I don’t see the hype over his looks. I don’t think he’s that good looking.
Isn’t he known for dating much younger women? Like he dated Hayden Panetierre circa heros.
Years ago someone at Gawker Stalker spotted the following:
05/09/06 “Pretty Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls) having heated argument with Milo Ventimiglia in the corner of the Gramercy Cafe around 8 pm. He was in a black hoodie and said the C world real loud. She was weepy. Tried to ask if things were okay and he told us to fuck off. Mean freak, but to each his/her own!”
I’ve still never warmed to Milo because of his playing Jess on Gilmore Girls. I hated him so badly!
I never watched GIlmore Girls but I cannot like this guy. Such a punchable face. He’s the worst part of This is Us.
I have always liked Milo since his 4400 days. He seems to keep a low profile in general. Haven’t started season 2 of This Is Us yet. Not in the mood to watch something too emotional yet.
I watch the show. It’s good. It’s a drama for certain.
I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone dealing with Depression.
It’s gettting darker and darker.
I don’t think he’s attractive either but, to each their own.
Spoiler Alert!
I think his character killed himself and I thought so quite some time ago.
As for falling in the pool…
I have some falls and accidents but I’m older than Milo and I still do stuff I did when I was young when I shouldn’t be doing those things (denial) , so, maybe it was an accident or a drunken stumble or maybe someone pushed him. He seems a tiny bit douchey.
What about their house burning down though?! Pretty sure he died in that, at least that’s what the show is trying to convey.
The house burning down is a factor, however, I think it’s to mislead us or maybe he accidentally set the house on fire while passed out drunk or while taking his own life or something.
It’s too easy.
He died in a house fire.
I think there is more to the story.
Yeah I didn’t think about that, it is a little easy. I think Kate is a major factor in whatever happened though, she’s said multiple times it’s her fault, and I think it’s going to play a role in her eating disorder. Also think the dog might have something to do with it, that’s weird I know lol.
Wasn’t he abusive to Alexis Bledel back in the day?
Yes! Although I guess it was proven he wasn’t in NYC when that poster said they werebut I always remember that too when I see posts about him
Why no love for his looks?!? I don’t get it! He’s interesting looking, which doesn’t come across in print but is evident on screen. The eyebrows, the quirky asymmetrical smile, the best head of hair in H’wood…I’d totally do him.
