Pedro Pascal & Grogu Play An Iconic Game of You Decide! | MTV Movies

As a scientist, you might be so fascinated by Grogu, you'd be like, let's take this apart and see. Let's find out what he can do. Yeah, exactly. Ooh, the force. You are the cutest little green guy in the whole of the galaxy. Yes, babe. I'm so sorry I just called you babe. Hi guys, I'm here with my best friend and the cutest little guy in the whole world. It's Grogu! Hi Bestie! I'm so happy that we can be together. I love your father. So, this is a great little team up for us. How are you? Give me a hug. Oh, it's so good to see you. It's so good to see you too, my Aries Queen. My Aries Bestie. Come on, let me have a look. Oh, do you want to see this? Yeah. Okay, so we've got like some stars. Awesome. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's the best guy helmet in Star Wars. Let's go. You never disappoint. You're the best. So, Grogu, we're going to play a game today. Does that sound fun? Yeah. Yeah? So the game is, is it the way or is it not the way? Okay. I'm going to ask you a question and you just have to tell me if it's the way, so good, or not the way, that. Exactly, exactly. See, you're a natural. I knew you'd get it. First one. Making a movie with your tiny best friend, Grumpy. This is the way. Let's go. Make it a little harder, come on. Making a movie with your best friend and father, Pedro Pascal. Yeah, yeah, of course. I knew that you would say it was the way. Who would you say takes the longest to get ready out of you two? Would you say it's Pedro or you? It's Pedro! It's because his hair is so perfect, isn't it? Watching you guys on the press tour, is he showing some diva tendencies? You know, there have always been diva tendencies. I was just going to say. You know, but look, he's our ticket. He is. So, let him have his way. Let him have his way. If he's getting a bit hungry, I got you some Navarro nummies. Well then, perfect. I went all the way. If he gets, you know, if you have to interview him, just throw one of these at him. You can throw anything at him and he'll eat it. And he'll eat it. Grogu, can I ask what's on your rider? Would you say that there's like a little blue snack that you love to have? Maybe it's like a little Navarro nummy? Yeah. Yeah? I went all the way to Navarro to get you one, so you can have it right there. And you can have that later. But you've got to ask Pedro. You've got to ask Din before you have it, okay? Promise? Pinky promise me? Pinky promise. We've got to, yeah, you can treat yourself to those. I'll save it for him. I'll save it for him. There we go. There we go. What is your favourite thing about playing that little guy's dad? I mean, getting to actually share in the love that people feel for baby Grogu. I'm so maternal for him. You know, isn't it? It's such a disarming creature cinematically, and then you meet him in person, and it's just as disarming and incredible. And so to be associated as his protector in the character of the Mandalorian is an absolute honour. And it's beautiful. The relationship they have is just like, it's everything to me. It's so cute. You know I have to do this one. What am I going to say? Star signs and astrology. Yes, babe. I'm so sorry I just called you babe. It's because we're in England. I call everyone babe. I'm actually so glad you did. It's so addictive. It really is. That's our culture. Good. I'm glad. I wonder if you're like your father in a sense. Star signs and astrology. Yeah? Yeah? You're into astrology? Oh my god. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Star signs. I have to ask something. What star signs do you think Mando and Grogu are? That's such a good question. Thank you. I was starting to think, I think that Grogu is a Taurus. Are you joking? I wrote down Taurus or Capricorn. Yeah. Earth signs. Well Capricorn, I know that he's an Earth sign. For sure. Because he's got Capricorn, he's got all the wisdom and everything like that. And you know, Capricorns can be fun and innocent and cute, I guess. They can. I'm a Capricorn moon. There we go. As we know. And not that I'm cute and all those things, but anyway. Taurus, yeah. It's the wisdom, isn't it? And also the stubbornness. But they're loyal and they're determined. Super, super, super loyal. Yeah. And then, oh god, what is Mando? You have a guess, do you? Well, I was going to say Capricorn. Yeah? Yeah. So it's like a duo Earth sign, Virgo and Capricorn. I think I was kind of there too and I was thinking Taurus as well, that kind of loyalty. He could be Virgo. Maybe. So what are we deciding on? Taurus and Capricorn. I think so, and they're very compatible. Yeah. Both Earth signs. Yeah. We'll go with that. Yeah, we'll go with that. We'll go with that. Well, I just asked your dad and he said that he thinks you're a Taurus. Would you agree? The next one is the Star Wars cinematic universe. This is the way, obviously. This is the way. This is why the way. Period. I was going to say, what was the brain chemistry changing moment for you when you watched it growing up where you were like, I'm in love with this world? I've been thinking about this so much, obviously, because as a kid, there were all these great movies that came out when I was really, really, really, really young. I was born in 75. So, like, Sigourney Weaver, for example, Alien, and everyone, I don't know. Like, if you were my age, it just was a different time. So, what your parents were watching, you were watching a lot of the time. Or, you know, what they were watching in the other room, you had to kind of, like, peek and spy and see the alien bursting out of the stomach, you know. And in the first Alien movie, you know, the head turning all the way around and the exorcist, these kinds of things in my early childhood. Of which is Star Wars, Luke Skywalker staring off into the horizon, there being two suns in the sky and, you know, Han Solo and Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker being trapped in a trash compactor. I can remember that just being terrifying for me. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader with their lightsabers and these colourful beams of light just whoosh. All that stuff was just like, just burned into me as a kid. It was iconic. Yeah. And for me, I want to say, I've obviously been re-watching the series before this. Yeah. The end of season two. It's beautiful, isn't it? It's so beautiful. Yeah. I was tearing up last night. And there's a scene in this, which I won't spoil, but it, like, matched it for me. Oh, that's so good. I'm so happy. Yeah, no. I was crying. Oh, good. I know I'm going to cry and then I did, but no spoilers. I won't spoil it. Okay. It's beautiful. I die. It's terrible. It's a bummer. Cut that. The next one is working with Sigourney Weaver. Yay! This is the way. Mother. Not ultimate. Ultimate. We keep on talking about, oh, daddy, and, you know, this parent-child relationship. Excuse me. But in James Cameron's Aliens, it is her maternal power that literally annihilates an entire space station of aliens to protect what is an adopted daughter in Newt. So, let's just go OG for her. Yeah. I mean, talk about strong female character that changed my life. Yeah. She's up there. I would trust one of the previous characters I've played to babysit Grogu for a day. I was like, immediately I thought of all the daddies and I was like, no, no, no, not you. Oh, no. No, Joel's too grumpy. Reed Richards is way too in his head. But he's protective. He is very protective of his own child. True. I mean, yeah, we'll stop the world for that baby. He might be, as a scientist, he might be so fascinated by Grogu, he'd be like, let's take this apart. Let's find out what he can do. Yeah, exactly. Ooh, the force. Oh, so it's hard to choose between them. And who came? Anybody before? Let's do like an obscure shout out to We Can Be Heroes and Marcus. Okay. I mean, father as well. Yeah. Dad as well. Yeah. I think it worked. He would take, he would be very, very protective of Grogu. I did not. And Robert Rodriguez directed that movie and he directed The Mandalorian and loves baby Grogu, so it's all full circle. It all works. Yeah. Perfect. Okay, the next one is close proximity friendship. Close proximity friendship? Yeah. So when you spend loads of time with someone and it births this kind of unique friendship. This is the way. It's been forced upon me in so many ways. Yes. Based on making movies. Yeah. Is there someone in your career that you've had a long standing friendship with that is very special to you and means a lot to you? Well, I've been so lucky, one, to know Sarah Paulson, for example, since as soon as we graduated high school, we met and have been pals and are family to one another. The first play that I did in New York was with Oscar Isaac in 2005. Oh my god. It was 21 years ago and he's been my best sister friend since then. The person who comes up with every character's hairdo since the unbearable weight of massive talent onto The Last of Us Gladiator 2 and even a helmetless Mandalorian is Coco Ulrich. We've been stuck together for six years. Talk about close proximity friendship. I'm the older brother she never asked for. And the best older brother and the best little baby sister. She's an angel. Yeah, you'll have to ask her. I think she'll confirm. The next one. Life's messy but we do the best we can. This is the way. Yeah? This is the way. There's no other way. Life is messy and we do the best we can. We do the best we can. That's a line that translates no matter what universe you're in. Yeah, absolutely. And it really touched me and so I'd love to know if people who are maybe really feeling that, they might be feeling a bit lost or off kilter, do you have any advice for someone to just kind of keep them going? We're all in this together. I am with you. I am feeling sort of the same, taking each day as it comes and fighting for our joy and our humanity, our decency, our love of each other in all forms. Just like a Star Wars movie with galaxies far, far away with planets and creatures of every single kind and that's what we are. We're all different lands and different people and we're on this planet together and we're supposed to protect each other and look after each other and look after our planet and live with love. Yeah, yeah. And I think that's what these films represent. I think so too. That runs in a lot of your projects. I think you've inspired a lot of people and I think that you are very conscious with the roles you choose and I really connect with a lot of your work, Pedro, and I really want you to know that. Thank you for all you do for us. I appreciate that very much. It moves me deeply. You are the cutest little green guy in the whole of the galaxy. I know, it's true. You are. I've never seen someone so cute in my life. People are going to love you. You're a movie star now, Grogu. Isn't it crazy? Well, we've been told to wrap. So I'll see you for the next one. Oh, for the next one then. Always promise. Oh my god. Promise forever. Forever. I pinky promise we will always do this. Okay. You can keep that. Bye. Amazing. Bye guys.
