If you’ve been on social media in the last 6 months, you have a pretty good idea about who Pedro Pascal is. The actor has been fairly successful for much of his career. However, he has experienced quite an explosion in popularity recently. This is likely due in part to his roles in Disney’s The Mandalorian and HBO’s The Last of Us. However, many have been fans of Pascal’s work for decades. The actor even had a very memorable turn on Game of Thrones long before the series went off the rails.
Earlier this year, Pascal had the honor of hosting the legendary Saturday Night Live. Before his turn on the sketch comedy show, he stopped by The Tonight Show. There, he spoke at length about his feelings with SNL vet Jimmy Fallon. “I think it’s the top of everybody’s bucket list. I am scared,” he said. “There’s like a wall of sheer terror I think that you start with. And then it’s such a well-oiled machine, everybody’s so amazing and talented… and they take these, you know, blocks of white-hot terror apart for you with big cue cards.” Now, Pascal is headed to the wild west.
Pascal And Hawke: An Unlikely Pairing
The official trailer for Pedro Almodóvar’s Strange Way of Life was released on Wednesday. It is described as a queer Western romance. The 30-minute film stars Pedro Pascal, fresh off of his starring role in The Last of Us. It also stars Ethan Hawke, who recently played a critically acclaimed role in the horror film Black Phone. The story of Strange Way of Life revolves around the complicated romance between two cowboys who reunite after two decades apart.
In an interview with the Cannes Film Festival, Oscar-winning filmmaker Almadóvar provided a synopsis of the film. The story begins when Silva, played by Pedro Pascal, rides his horse across the desert. At his destination, he meets his friend, Sheriff Jake, played by Ethan Hawke. The two have not seen each other for 25 years. They enjoy the reunion, but it is soon revealed that there is more to the visit than a friendly reminiscence of time gone by.
