Pedro Pascal, best known for his roles in hit TV shows such as The Mandalorian and Game of Thrones, recently sat down for an extended interview on The Graham Norton Show. During the interview, he discussed his latest project, The Last of Us, and his experience of getting the job.
Despite not being familiar with the video game before he got the job, Pascal quickly found out just how famous and well-regarded The Last of Us is. He admitted to needing the game explained to him and relied on his sister and her teenage boys to fill him in.
Pascal described the process of getting the job for The Last of Us as quite hazy. He was in London at the time and had to stay up late to meet with the creator of the video game and the executive producer. Due to the late hour, Pascal had taken a sleeping tablet and was not completely aware when he received the call informing him that he had gotten the job. He remembered the excitement and confusion of the moment.
Moving on to talk about his role in The Mandalorian, Pascal teased some details about the upcoming third season. When asked if he knew he was being upstaged by the beloved character Baby Yoda during filming, Pascal joked that he let Baby Yoda do all the heavy lifting. He revealed that there are two versions of the character on set, one operated by remote control for wide shots and another for close-ups that is incredibly realistic and detailed.
Pascal also shared some amusing anecdotes about fans recognizing him as the Mandalorian in real life. He mentioned how people often request him to do the character’s voice for their children or friends. However, he admitted that the Mandalorian’s deep, breathy voice can sometimes come across as inappropriate.
Norton couldn’t resist asking about Pascal’s newfound internet fame, with people referring to him as “internet Daddy.” Pascal confessed that he is still trying to figure out the meaning behind the term, but he does receive countless messages every day from fans calling him Daddy.
The interview also touched on Pascal’s role in the upcoming movie Shazam: Fury of the Gods, where he plays one of the three sisters. Pascal admitted to finding it challenging to understand the younger cast members’ references and language, comparing it to his experience with the kids on The Mandalorian set.
Overall, Pedro Pascal‘s extended interview on The Graham Norton Show provided fans with entertaining insights into his career and upcoming projects. From discussing his surprising recruitment process for The Last of Us to sharing funny encounters with fans, Pascal’s charisma shone through, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating his future work.
