His latest projects: While eating chicken wings doused with spicy hot sauces, the actor spoke about working on some of the most-watched HBO series globally – The Last Of Us and Game Of Thrones
On the show, he discussed his infamously brutal scene where his character gets his eyes gouged out in season four of Game Of Thrones.
‘Maybe in this interview as well, I can beg you to gouge my eyes out and collapse my skull in case it gets really bad,’ Pascal joked.
He recalled that the gory scene was actually so ‘relaxing’ that he fell asleep during the take.
Pascal played the role of Oberyn Martell who is assailed by Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane – who was played by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.
‘It was the best part of the day,’ he told Evans.
‘I was dead asleep because it was so hot and [the fake blood] was so cooling to the touch and you had to be really, really still,’ he said.
‘That was the most relaxing and knowing also that we had gotten to the end of this sort of four day fight that we were shooting out there,’ Pascal continued. ‘It was a very cathartic and I went into the deepest sleep I’ve ever been in.’
The Kingsman: The Golden Circle actor explored his interpretation of playing multifaceted characters with a tough yet warm duality in his successful career.

His robot costar: On the show, The Last Of Us star delved into what it’s like acting with an animatronic Baby Yoda robot on The Mandalorian
‘On your latest project The Last Of Us, you played the role of Joel Miller – a character who much like the show has this austere outer shell but underneath it all is a warmness,’ Evans said.
He then asked: ‘As an actor, how do you think about balancing the noble traits that make a character like Joel heroic versus the weaker ones that make him human?’
‘I think there’s a funny thing about a very sort of restricted exterior that is typical for these kind of male archetypes,’ he responded.
Pascal continued: ‘”Don’t show your feelings. People will see that you’re weak. Survival is key. Don’t let anybody in.” You know?’
‘Developing human connection is not – at least in his mind – key to survival but then only to discover that he cannot live without it at any cost,’ he added.
A few wings later, the Santiago-born star was gargling milk and begging for blood before admitting he dislikes drinking the dairy beverage.
‘Can somebody get in here and let me bite into their flesh?’
He then asked: ‘Can somebody get me a cup of blood?’

Pascal also discussed acting with an inanimate costar in the form of the animatronic Baby Yoda robot on the Star Wars spinoff series The Mandalorian.
He explained that it requires two people to operate Baby Yoda in the scenes to make him as animated as possible.
Later, he also confirmed that the entire cast on The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent was gifted pillows with a life-sized image of Nicholas Cage’s face.
He recalled that while filming one day, one of the pillows was placed in the scene.
‘The one time I was disagreeing with him,’ he said, noting that the scene in the film was an improvisation.
He also disclosed his unpopular opinion that Mexican food in New York City – not only doesn’t compare to Los Angeles – but doesn’t exist.
‘Come for me,’ he joked after making the statement.
He also talked about his affinity for the late singer Prince’s hit song Purple Rain – which he said he wants to be played at his funeral.
