24 Hilarious Pedro Pascal Quotes And Interview Moments
by Alanna MarshallBuzzFeedBuzzFeed StaffI’m the SEO Resident here at BuzzFeed, and I cover everything from trending pop culture and celebrity news to evergreen entertainment and lifestyle topics.
You may know Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, or simply as "the internet's Daddy." But the actor you see on the big screen and the real-life Pedro are quite different, as shown through his various press tour moments and viral red carpet interviews. Pedro's hilarious and often chaotic behavior is what makes him a true gem of a celebrity (and what provides endless meme material). If you've seen the car scene from The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, you know exactly what we're talking about.

"I would say that there's a gap between my back molar and my front tooth. That's where the chicken gets stuck, and it continues to sort of burn. But I've gotten to the point—" [turns directly to the camera]. "You should know this, too. That I'm used to the sensation of my jaw having been melted away by battery acid, maybe. And then, I think I'm going to go to the Whitney Museum this afternoon, unless I shit myself. Goodbye."

Pedro: "I cannot— I cannot begin to tell you how violating this was. There's so much context to why it's become six shots of espresso. It was always a quad. But then I feel like the cups got bigger and I don't know, the shots got less strong and at some point it became six, and it was an incredibly private morning ritual that I never wanted anyone to know about."

Interviewer: "Did you play that game before you starred in the adaptation?"
Pedro: "No. I tried. I really, really did try. I tried. I tried. And my nephew really didn't have the patience, so he took the console from me. And I was just like, 'Well then, you f---ing do it.'
