That's exactly what I expect for all my hard work.
I want my face tattooed permanently on people's bodies.
That's how hard I work.
The first season ends with his escape from prison, from La Catedral.
And I will say that the second season we start off exactly where we left off.
We have literally moments from the final moment of the first season.
And that being said, our timeline is obviously much shorter
because it's such a broad stroke in the first season.
There's so much history that is conveyed.
And so many years are kind of logged in, even to the first episode.
And now we don't have that privilege.
We just have months until the day that we actually catch Escobar
from the day that he escaped from prison.
So I would say that every aspect of the story is intensified because the chase is on.
His running, our chasing, everyone closing in on Escobar
and what they're willing to do to get him and what he's willing to do to escape.
It's less epic than the first one, I think.
We still have the voiceover, but it's more dramatic, I think,
more character-driven than the first one.
It's definitely the most popular thing I have ever done as an actor,
especially considering the way Netflix became global.
But we're just talking about this right now.
We were working.
So when we wrapped for a season, we started to publicize it.
And then immediately, like a couple, two months after we wrapped,
something like that, three months after wrapping the first season,
we were shooting the second season in Bogota.
And we just finished.
So for us, it's about living in Bogota and working on it.
We were very much in sort of like the Narcos and Colombian bubble
because we were so right on to the second season after it aired.
So its impact, I suppose, wasn't lost on us,
but it certainly didn't interfere with our attack of the second season.
Yeah, we were focused on doing it.
But we are absolutely aware of the popularity of the show
and how well the show was received.
There are tattoos of your face on so many people that I see on Instagram.
Oh my God, I've got to show you. You wouldn't believe.
I've got my face too.
You've got your face too?
Yeah, there's this one guy who has your face after you beat the man to death
in La Catedral.
Covered in blood?
Super animal, kind of like a beautifully blood-streaked face.
And the detail work is actually incredible.
It looks just as good as it did on TV.
And then there's a shot of me in my sort of like Peña yellow sunglasses.
Wow, I didn't know that.
Scowling in the distance.
Pablo Escobar is respected.
I'm going to kill you all.
That's exactly what I expect for all my hard work.
I want my face tattooed permanently on people's bodies.
That's how hard I work. I don't know about you.
Yeah, I think so.
