If Pedro Pascal no longer has much to worry about for his professional future, it has not always been so. Indeed, as he confided to Esquirethe actor has several times thought of stopping everything before finally breaking through with his roles in Game Of Thrones, Narcos and finally The Mandalorian And The Last of Us.
“I was getting kicked out all the time,” remembered the actor who, during the 1990s, multiplied castings for television and advertising while working as a waiter. “I sounded the death knell (of my career) so many times, he continued. I guess it was this delusional self-determination and having no other skills that kept me going. »
Until the end of the fantasy
Initially, Pedro Pascal had decided that, if he did not succeed in breaking through in his late twenties, he would stop everything. A promise to himself that he obviously did not keep, and this, for the best. “I constantly readjusted what it meant to me to dedicate my life to this profession, while abandoning the idea that it could have been done as I imagined when I was a kid,” he explains.
But in the end, it’s probably because he never quite grew up that Pedro Pascal persevered. “At one point I was like, ‘You’re in your 40s and you don’t even own a house? Grow up,” he added. There were so many good reasons to get out of this fantasy. From now on, the fantasy has become reality, and Pedro Pascal is overwhelmed with proposals.
