This video explores the meteoric rise of actor Pedro Pascal, detailing his transition from a respected character actor to a global household name. Through a series of testimonials from co-stars and friends, it highlights the unique combination of immense talent, genuine humility, and infectious charm that has made him one of the most beloved figures in Hollywood.
When the greatest actor alive calls you brother, people notice.
And right now, everyone in Hollywood is talking about the same guy.
Oh God, he's everywhere.
He's everywhere.
It's the, it's the, uh, I guess it's not a Pedro Sanz.
Well, no, but...
It's the Pedro takeover.
Pedro has become the new Coca-Cola.
Yes.
Pedro is...
He deserves that because he's, he's amazing, no?
He is.
A few years ago, he was the guy behind the mask.
Now he's the name on every poster in every franchise on everyone's lips.
He's, he's not entering the Marvel Universe.
He's exploding the Marvel Universe right now.
So I'm so excited to see him.
But no actor becomes the most wanted man in the industry by accident.
Something gets you there, and it's not the roles.
No, no, no, concentrate, concentrate.
As I was saying, yeah, you know, like, Pedro Pascal.
It's been an inspiration my whole life.
You know, I do what I do because of, of him.
Talk to anyone who stood next to him and the same words keep coming back.
Kind, generous, real.
He sang last night at Carnegie Hall.
Nope, both of those things are wrong.
Where did you sing last night?
Night before last.
Oh, okay, but it was...
Lincoln Center.
At Lincoln Center.
What was it like having Pedro Pascal as your husband?
It was perfection.
That's all I have to say.
He is amazing.
He's charismatic and kind and charming.
And I don't know, like, you just can't, I can't say enough good things about him.
And for a guy the whole world is obsessed with,
he doesn't take himself seriously for a single second.
Do you ever look at Instagram accounts
devoted to you being a heartthrob when you're feeling down?
Yes, I do.
Being loved is one thing, but charm gets you in the room.
It doesn't make a legend call you the best.
So listen to the man who's earned that word himself.
Now, let's hear what other actors have to say about Pedro Pascal.
Why he's the best?
Listen, let me explain something to you.
There's acting on that level.
There's acting, I dare say, on my level.
And then there's Pedro.
So I'm just happy to be in his film.
They call it Gladiator, but in fact, the film should be called Pedro.
I don't think it's too late to change the title.
Pedro 1.
Pedro, we've been working together for eight years.
So before he was a household name,
the genre fans knew him from Game of Thrones, Narcos.
They knew his face, they knew he was cool.
But there's a whole swath of actors that are well-known and appreciated.
But he's hit this other level now between The Last of Us and Fantastic Four.
He's just, he's now a household name.
And now I have a helmet on a guy who's the biggest movie star.
I did a movie with Emily Blunt called The Adjustment Bureau.
And there was this throwaway part of a maitre d'.
I got cut out of the movie.
But I remember Emily and I went and sat down and this maitre d' walked away.
And they cut and we both looked at each other.
And Em goes, that guy's really ******* good.
And I said, yeah, what the ****?
That guy was really good.
There was something just incredibly interesting, but real and natural.
I was like, this guy's really good.
And years later found out it was Pedro Pascal.
Wow.
What did you think of me before and after we shot the movie?
Oh my god, I felt like the luckiest person on earth that Mr. Fantastic was going to be him.
It was one of the best days of my life when he'd said yes.
I couldn't believe he said yes.
After?
And then after, wow.
No, after I love him even more.
It's insane how much love I have for this man.
And I'm not alone, which is quite annoying.
You know, I think he's talented.
He's gorgeous.
He works hard.
He's good to people.
I think people like him for all the right reasons.
I get it.
I agree.
For me, I want to gush about you.
I think you're so immense and incredible.
You fall into your characters in a way that I think is so gracious.
Is it the right word?
I'll take it.
I love the word gracious.
What is it about Pedro that seems to have everyone so enchanted?
I mean, look.
I'm in love with him.
I mean, he's just...
You answer the question.
He's just the greatest.
He's the sweetest man.
He's so talented, but he's also so self-deprecating and honest and vulnerable.
You know, I just think actors in general can be a little too
pretentious and I always love when actors are open about their insecurity and uncertainty.
You know, every time we're in an interview, I can't get over how eloquent you are.
Me?
Are you joking?
You're so eloquent.
You say things in such a good way.
I'm not eloquent right now.
You say things in such a beautiful way that makes so much sense.
You start out saying something and you end it with this beautiful conclusion.
And you're like, this doesn't make any sense.
And then you're like, holy ----, that makes sense.
If you guys...
He won't leave me alone.
Is he FaceTiming, calling?
Yes.
Yeah, no, we catch up with each other.
He's a wonderful man and I'm very lucky to be able to do this next project with him.
He's a funny man.
He's a silly man.
For a second, he wasn't fully aware of what kind of burden was being placed on his shoulders,
but he also wasn't...
If he was terrified, we didn't know.
I didn't see it.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I understand what you're saying, but I didn't see it.
He's all of our boyfriend.
Like, we all love him.
I wish.
I've known Pedro Pascal since I was 17 years old.
What?
Because we went to Northwestern and we were in the same play.
He got the lead.
Even back then, he was so talented.
Oh my god.
He is...
First of all, I didn't really work with him.
He was like up in a sniper tower, but I know him a little bit.
He's such a dreamboat.
Like, he's just kind.
He looks you in the eye.
Like, you feel like no one else is in the room when he's talking to you.
He's very funny.
He's very handsome.
He's so talented.
So talented.
He dresses amazingly.
Like, there's just nothing wrong with him.
He's just like a perfect person.
And you just...
There's something about him also that the moment he starts talking, you're put at ease.
Like, there are some people where you're kind of like, oh, I'm nervous.
And you know, and you just feel like, oh, it feels like getting into a warm bath.
He's just so welcoming.
What a nice thing to say about somebody.
The fact that I'm sitting here next to one of my favorite people in my life.
No, I actually get emotional thinking about it.
Because that is something that I had almost...
Now I am actually welling up.
I had accepted that you're not always going to find your best, best friends on things.
You know what I mean?
Like, you might find it when you do theater when you're younger.
And on The Crown, we definitely had that.
And I've loved everyone I worked with.
But this is something else.
This is when...
This is a lifelong, very deep, very...
Very small class.
Me and Pedro Pascal.
My class.
Like, that's our acting class.
Do you remember scenes with him?
Did you feel like he...
Oh, he was dope.
He was always one of the dopest actors in our class.
For sure, he was...
And he was awkward teen.
You know, he was in his own awkward teenage years doing his thing.
But always very incredibly smart.
Incredibly opinionated.
Great point of views.
Hilarious.
Yes, I do.
I am a Last of Us girlie.
And I will take any opportunity I have to boost Pedro Pascal.
That's father.
I love him.
