Top 10 Chaotic Pedro Pascal Interviews
#10: Interviewing Willem Dafoe on “Inside the Actors’ Studio”
What’s better than an interview with Pedro Pascal? An interview with Pedro Pascal as the interviewer. On this 2019 episode of “Inside the Actors’ Studio,” he sat down with the incredibly talented Willem Dafoe, going over his prolific career and showering him with praise. This is definitely the most chill interview on our list. Aside from some hearty laughs, Pedro managed to contain his inner fanboy and focus on discussing the craft. Though we could see him totally freaking out meeting Dafoe when the two worked together on 2016’s “The Great Wall.” Petition for Pedro to host his own talk show.
#9: Jenga Champion
By now, Pedro Pascal fans know this man is just a big child so we’re not surprised he loves a good game of Jenga. This fun VH1 interview took place while the actor was on the rise, having just played the seductive and flamboyant Oberyn Martell on the fourth season of “Game of Thrones.” After his bold performance as the Red Viper, people were not expecting him to be silly and energetic. And spoiler alert, he wins! It’s hard not to smile watching Pedro play around and casually make a mess of Jenga pieces.
#8: Singing & Drinking with Taron Egerton
Pedro Pascal is notoriously fun in interviews on his own but pair him with, well, just about anyone, and he really lets loose. While promoting their film “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” Pedro and his co-star Taron Egerton shared some drinks, laughs, and a mini karaoke sesh. He makes a seamless transition from singing Salt-n-Pepa to showing concern for Taron’s drink choices, imparting some sage advice. With his magnetic personality and penchant for playfulness, Pedro always gives off party vibes. But this interview shows just how down he is to party… and willing to suffer the consequences.
#7: Pedro Shows Off His Essentials
We’d like to officially thank GQ for providing us fantastic Pedro Pascal content over the years. In 2019, he sat down with them for a discussion about his iconic roles. But it was this “essentials” interview from 2018 that really had us laughing and swooning. The actor wasn’t quite the household name at this point in time unless you were a “Game of Thrones” fan. Pedro instantly comes off as relatable and down to earth, showcasing his affection for the simple things in life like black coffee and Cap’n Crunch. The enthusiasm and glee with each of these everyday items, including his death-themed reading material, made him all the more endearing. Just a preview of the years of hilarious interviews that would follow.
#6: Swishing Through the Apocalypse
It’s hard to choose just one interview with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey because these co-stars have incredible chemistry. Within minutes, they have each other giggling, a huge contrast to what we see with Joel and Ellie in HBO’s “The Last of Us.” This one-on-one interview shows how Bella’s maturity and Pedro’s inner child perfectly mesh and their genuine care and admiration for each other make this exchange all the more enjoyable. They discuss wearing their “GoT” wardrobe in the apocalypse and while Bella wisely chooses her armor, Pedro doesn’t hesitate to pick Oberyn’s gorgeous robe which leads to their uncontrollable laughter.
#5: Stir Crazy with Josh Horowitz
Ahead of the “Wonder Woman 1984” premiere in December 2020, Josh Horowitz gave us one of our favorite Pedro interviews. The lively video chat is full of fun facts about the star, a few innuendos, and his thoughts on being rightfully named one of People’s Sexiest Men Alive. We learn his favorite 80s song and his ideal location for a Mando tattoo. He’s also pretty knowledgeable when it comes to, um, adult film trivia. Pedro delivered an impressive Beetlejuice impression, and we’re not saying there should be a remake… But if there was, well, he’s clearly the guy to play a character who’s the embodiment of total chaos.
#4: His “The Earliest Show” Interview
Top 10 Chaotic Stranger Things Cast Interview Moments
During his “Narcos” era, Pedro appeared on this hilarious Funny or Die web series for a brief but memorable segment. The mostly improvised show starred comedy actors Ben Schwartz and Lauren Lapkus as morning talk show hosts Josh Bath and Sam Newman. Pedro’s greeted with an awkward yet enthusiastic hug and receives multiple creative high-fives. We’ve heard him laugh enough times to know that Josh/Ben pulled some genuine chuckles out of him. But it’s his classic spit-take reaction to Mark that stole the show and derailed an already zany interview. Did you notice he wasn’t asked any questions?
#3: Vanity Fair Lie Detector Test
Okay, if you want to see Pedro Pascal at his funniest, most charismatic, unabashedly giddy self, then this is the interview for you. While hooked up to a polygraph machine, he’s faced with some hard questions. But it quickly becomes more and more revealing as it goes on. Pedro’s uncontrollable laughter after admitting he looks up thirsty stan accounts dedicated to him is downright adorable. And we know the people administering the test had to be struggling to stay in character. After a hilarious interview like this, it’s impossible not to love Mr. Pascal.
#2: Facebook Live Interview with Boyd Holbrook
Don't Blame Mark Zuckerberg For Facebook, Blame Yourselves. - Mojo Talks (Context Is King)
Ahead of the Netflix series’ second season, “Narcos” stars Pedro Pascal and Boyd Holbrook stopped by Facebook Studios for a little Q&A. It starts out normal enough with some ice breakers but about halfway through, things really go off the rails. Poor Boyd is going through it in the seemingly sweltering studio while Pedro gradually reaches peak chaotic energy. He even tries to put himself in check but we know that his usual mischievousness can only be contained for so long. And if you give him props? Well, expect some slapstick comedy from this professional goofball. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. “We Are Heroes” Interview with Guppy This Adorable Convo with His Young Co-Star Further Proves He’s the Ultimate Girl Dad Spanglish Slang A Very Animated Spanglish Lesson Confirming His Daddy Status Pedro’s Not Like a Regular Daddy… He’s a Cool Daddy Describing the Red Viper’s Sex-Themed Funeral Celebration Where Does Oberyn Martell End & Pedro Pascal Begin? “Kingsman” Press with Halle Berry Pedro Bares His Teeth in This One
#1: WIRED Interview with His BFF

The longtime pals affectionately roasted each other in between wet willies, playful jabs, and endless laughs. Since this interview, Pedro and Oscar have continued gifting us more examples of their brotherly bond and impeccable chemistry. Someone put these two in a buddy comedy already!
