Our Weekend with Pedro Pascal

You do not want Pedro Pascal to kill you. And it's not because he has convincingly played some cold-blooded killers onscreen over the past several years. No, what you—all of us, apparently—want is simply more Pedro Pascal in your life. Because if you're like 99 percent of the population with access to premium streaming TV right now, you can't get enough of him. And you want him to be your hero or your fashion muse or your pal or maybe even your daddy. He's a sex symbol and a serious actor in one friendly but unknowable, cuddly but perhaps slightly dangerous package. One of one. After years of grinding away, the suddenly-everywhere actor is enjoying fame and near-universal adulation thanks to his dual streaming blockbusters 'The Last of Us' and 'The Mandalorian.' Over a weekend in New York, he talks about all of it—and everything that's coming next.

Read More Behind the Scenes of Barack Obama's Reading Lists President Barack Obama released his first official list of book recommendations in summer 2009, a few months after taking office. He continued to share summer reading recommendations throughout his presidency, with the exception of 2012 and 2013, when one can imagine he was swept up in his day job. In 2017, after leaving office and undoubtedly regaining some free time for leisure reading, the former president also began releasing a best-books-of-the-year list, alongside similar roundups for movies, television, and music.

Before Pedro Pascal became a fungus-monster fighter in 'The Last of Us', he was an intergalactic bounty hunter in 'The Mandalorian'. Disney+'s 'Star Wars' spinoff follows Pascal's plight to travel across the galaxy while protecting the sweet and oh-so-innocent Grogu, otherwise known as The Child—or, of course, Baby Yoda. Audiences instantly fell in love with Pascal's performance as Din Djarin, and he's managed to maintain that fanbase over the years. Now, with Season Three underway, the actor is breaking down what it's really like to play Mando. In Esquire's new cover story featuring Pascal, he revealed that the intricate Grogu puppet is "connected to what feels like the wires that control the Space Shuttle." Pascal continued, "Its eyebrows and eyes and lips and jaw muscles and ears and everything move in the most realistic way; it feels like a very real scene partner."
