[@captainsdameron]

ok whoever taught pedro the word "slay" needs to come forward and be held acccountable

[@Ele-qx9ng]

He said it so casually and seriously too 😂

[@bimbosteph6796]

I mean at least he actually uses it correctly 😹😹

[@jakehoon69]

it was me😢

[@fireteamjoker1]

I'm pretty sure Bella Ramsey did haha

[@onlycanbeoneofme]

oh pedro knows :)

[@audisheep]

the way he explained how he’d react if he were to meet prince, is exactly how i’d react if i met pedro

[@tlagreca1]

I’m so scared I’m going to meet Pedro one day and I would react like that. It can’t happen like that!! 😅

[@htsfksm1282]

That’s exactly what I thought! But I think he would understand

[@SuperHanur]

Well now I need it to be 2030 so I can live in a Pedro Pascal's world

[@leilamanchino]

I think it’s already his world. Pedro’s reign has begun as of 2023.

[@Njewix]

I've never smiled this much through an entire video, can't wait to live in Pedro's world in 2030

[@rubykgarrett]

it's here 7 years too early. he manifested.

[@angelicaterry3367]

"i've never really finished puberty" stated so seriously lmao i died

[@pinalpatel8156]

Pedro Pascal and Keanu Reeves in a movie will melt the world’s heart.

[@4Lveofme]

I love how he is always complimenting other people and always saying how great everyone around him is

[@kfranca2176]

He’s literally the goofiest dude lmao

[@jadegarza9752]

Hands down my favorite interview ever! He’s so soft & gentle 🥺🥺

[@usagi907]

I love that he knows he's memeable 🤣

[@maria-nl8hw]

Y apapachable

[@zoebug]

Y'all remember that dumb fake story that went around a few years back, saying how Pedro was being "difficult" on set and how he demanded that Mando should have his helmet off more. Pedro actually: 1:32

[@carolinaa.4407]

I saw another video about that recently and the amount of people believing it it’s disappointing to say the least 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@meemee48larue22]

Yep, I knew it was BS, Pedro is so NOT like that. He is a treasure and a great actor. ❤️

[@zoebug]

@@carolinaa.4407 Exactly! I saw that video where they claimed that Pedro was being replaced, and the whole time I was watching it was like; the same rumor went around when the show first came out, does it not occur to people that this is fake news as well?

[@sadadokis2709]

@@zoebug people love the drama. They have difficulties to believe that a person in Hollywood can actually be genuinely nice and not problematic.

[@maria-nl8hw]

I think there are always people with ENVY who try to destroy people successfully.

[@rafaelaamanda7416]

Pedro is amazing, so charismatic and smart

[@youngscrappyhungry4570]

This man couldn’t get any more adorable!

[@lar.issas21]

he’s so charming i adore him

[@gothkiwis]

ugh he's so real

[@htsfksm1282]

Is he though?

[@TemplePriestess]

@@htsfksm1282 yeah ikr, he’s an actor. They know how to put on an act.

[@nera1536]

the best thing ever is pedro using slay casually

[@Vaanne1]

well it's not 2030 but pedro is everywhere, tv shows, interviews, all over tiktok, he’s own the world in 2023

[@-0_0-_-]

2:57 me if I ever met Pedro pascal

[@ririj9755]

Any Pedro content is incredible and enjoyable

[@lillymorrow7012]

Pedro I absolutely love you 😍

[@ninjasalad869]

[@_Bazzaro_]

[@caroldocherty6810]

I first saw him on Mandolorian and have been a fan since. I love the man.

[@mylzjimenez1946]

i imagine Pedro being able to meet Prince and it being like Nicks reactions in new girl lol

[@meemee48larue22]

What an amazing guy. He is beyond lovable. I bet he is a blast at a party. He stole my heart and I don't want it back, unless he brings it back. 😱 What a man ( in a great pink sweater ❤️)

[@tlagreca1]

This is great. We haven’t had any real recent responses to things that have happened in the past year. Love this so much!❤ He is such a sweetheart!

[@madisonwhovian943]

Still so shook that Rey and Din Djarin kissed each other in an alternate universe 😳

[@htsfksm1282]

But did they actually?

[@magalymuniz9640]

Wow time is up! This interview went so fast! Ahh Pedro! He is always such a charmer! Funny! And of course a beautiful person inside and out! Wishing him the best because he deserves it! 🤩😍🔥❤️ Now he will understand If one of us will meet him, freeze on the spot, and be carry by someone .😂🤣

[@soccerlife8912]

It’s the zooming at all the right times for me. 😂

[@MrDannyArroyo]

[@artsyrosie129]

If I would ever see Pedro Pascal and Matt Smith in the same production together, I would be dead... I mean, so much charisma and coolness in the same place just cannot be handled, just cannot... But I am waiting for it...

[@stephaniezimbalist3757]

RIP Tina RIP Prince GREAT taste José!

[@a.w.3438]

It's missing Narcos

[@Belnick6666]
