Pedro Pascal made an appearance on the popular talk show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and the conversation was nothing short of entertaining. The actor, known for his roles in shows like “Normal People” and “The Mandalorian,” sat down with host James Corden to discuss his career and his love for Nicolas Cage.

The interview started with Corden commenting on how stunning the couch looked, describing it as “arguably our most stunning” and “best-dressed couch in a very long time.” Pascal graciously thanked Corden for having him on the show, revealing that the last time he appeared, it was through Zoom due to the pandemic.

Reflecting on his breakthrough role in “Normal People” in 2020, Pascal described the experience as “wild” and compared it to a surreal game of Sims. Spending most of his time on Zoom, he admitted that it sometimes felt like the events didn’t actually happen until he saw them later. Despite the huge success of the show, Pascal remained humble, stating that not much had changed for him in the physical world.

Pascal’s global stardom was evident during the interview, with Corden mentioning how “Normal People” became one of the most-watched shows on the BBC iPlayer. However, Pascal confessed that he wasn’t fully aware of its global impact, as he was still spending most of his time at home.

Born in Chile and raised in various places around the world, Pascal shared stories of his childhood, including living in the suburbs of San Antonio and Orange County. He then moved to New York at the age of 18 and remained there for the next 20 years. Despite the challenges of constantly moving and being the new kid in school, Pascal admitted that it taught him resilience and important life skills.

The conversation took a lighthearted turn when Pascal revealed his early passion for acting. Recounting a school play on King Henry VIII and his wives, Pascal remembers playing Anne Boleyn, who famously had her head chopped off. He fondly recalls storming in with a severed head made by his mother, as it was a liberating moment for him to be cheeky and naughty on stage.

Switching gears, Pascal and Corden discussed their love for live music and music festivals. Pascal expressed his excitement for attending Coachella, admitting that he’s been to several festivals before, but he still has Glastonbury on his bucket list.

The interview concluded with a discussion about Pascal’s upcoming movie, “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” in which he plays a super fan of Nicolas Cage who pays him a million dollars to attend his 40th birthday party. Pascal, a genuine Cage enthusiast himself, shared his excitement about meeting the iconic actor for the first time. He described his encounter with Cage on a flight during the pandemic and how he was taken aback by Cage’s distinctive blue eyes.

With Pascal’s infectious enthusiasm and charm, it’s no wonder he is a fan favorite in the entertainment industry. As fans eagerly await the release of his new movie and continue to enjoy his captivating performances, Pedro Pascal remains a truly remarkable talent.
