Featured Guest: Pedro Pascal, 47, is the latest celebrity guest to take on the hot wing challenge and appear on the Youtube series Hot Ones.
His latest projects: While eating chicken wings dipped in hot sauces, the actor talked about working on some of the most watched HBO series in the world: The Last Of Us and Game Of Thrones.
On the show, he opened up about his infamously brutal scene where his character’s eyes are gouged out in the fourth season of Game Of Thrones.
“Maybe in this interview too, I can beg you to gouge out my eyes and collapse my skull in case it gets really bad,” Pascal joked.
He recalled that the gory scene was actually so ‘relaxing’ that he fell asleep during the take.
Pascal played the role of Oberyn Martell, who is attacked by Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane, who was played by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.
“It was the best part of the day,” he told Evans.
“I was fast asleep because it was so hot and (the fake blood) was so cool to the touch and you had to be very, very still,” he said.
“That was the most relaxing thing and also knowing that we had come to the end of this four-day fight that we were filming,” Pascal continued. “It was very cathartic and I went into the deepest sleep I’ve ever been in.”
The Kingsman: The Golden Circle actor explored his take on playing multifaceted characters with a tough yet warm duality in his successful career.
Done: In the latest episode hosted by Sean Evans, the Narcos alum successfully completed the Hot Ones ten-wing challenge while being interviewed about his hit series and movies.
His robot co-star: On the show, The Last Of Us star delved into what it’s like to act with an animatronic robot Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian.
“In his latest project, The Last Of Us, he played the role of Joel Miller, a character who is very fond of the show, he has this stark outer layer but underneath it all there is warmth,” Evans said.
He then asked, “As an actor, how do you think about balancing the noble traits that make a character like Joel heroic against the weaker ones that make him human?”
“I think there’s something funny about a sort of restrained exterior that is typical of these types of male archetypes,” he replied.
Pascal continued: “Don’t show your feelings. People will see that you are weak. Survival is key. Don’t let anyone in.” Know?’
“Developing a human connection is not, at least in his mind, key to survival, but only to discover that he can’t live without it at all costs,” he added.
A few wings later, the Santiago-born star was gargling milk and asking for blood before admitting she doesn’t like drinking the milky drink.
‘Can someone come in here and let me eat their meat?’
Then he asked: ‘Can someone bring me a cup of blood?’
Gory: On the show, he talked about his infamously brutal scene where his character’s eyes are gouged out in the fourth season of Game Of Thrones.
Infamous scene: He recalled that the gory scene was actually so ‘relaxing’ that he fell asleep during the take.
Pascal also discussed acting with an inanimate co-star in the form of the animatronic robot Baby Yoda in the Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian.
He explained that two people are required to operate on Baby Yoda in the scenes so that he is as lively as possible.
Later, he also confirmed that the entire cast of The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent received pillows with a life-size image of Nicholas Cage’s face on them.
He recalled that while filming one day, one of the pillows was placed in the scene.
“The only time I didn’t agree with him,” he said, noting that the scene in the movie was an improv.
He also revealed his unpopular opinion that Mexican food in New York City not only doesn’t compare to that in Los Angeles, it doesn’t exist.
“Come for me,” he joked after making the statement.
He also opened up about his affinity for the late singer Prince’s hit song Purple Rain, which he said he wants played at his funeral.
