A Smooch And A Drink With "The Mandalorian & Grogu" Star Pedro Pascal

Hey, welcome back, everybody. Ladies and gentlemen, you know my next wonderful guest from the Fantastic Four, First Steps, Gladiator 2, and The Last of Us. Please welcome back to The Late Show, Pedro Pascal. Nice to see you again. Nice to see you, too. What a pleasure to have you back. People may not know. I got jealous. No need. Any time. These lips will soon be free. Now, hey, it's nice to see you again. The last time you were here, people may not know this, but it was the very first time you were ever on a late night show. Here you are almost 10 years ago in 2016. I'm just curious. It was a lovely interview. Were you nervous at the time? I was terrified. Wow. I'm terrified now. Oh, come on. It's a really big and beautiful theater. It's breathtaking. Isn't it beautiful? It's a little bit much for the very first talk show that you've ever done. Sure, yeah. Big space. Yeah, very big space. And I was scared. I watched it back, and I was like, oh, wow. Yeah, I'm not really breathing. Yeah, I had a good time. But I'm an actress. You know what I'm saying? Yes. You're a big old movie star now, and I'm just curious. I heard that as a child, you wanted to be in the movies so much that you would lie and say that you were in movies. Were you afraid of being caught? Because people could go to the movies and say, you're not in that movie. How did you lie around that? I did get caught. I got caught when I lied and said that I was going to appear on the pilot of Twin Peaks. Who were you telling this to? Just kids on the playground? I don't even remember, but there was like my sister was at her friend's house, and her friend's parents were gathering around the TV to watch Twin Peaks. Because they were like, we're waiting for your brother. And she's like, what are you talking about? She came back. She was so mad at me. I learned my lesson. I told people that I was edited out of The Lost Boys. I stood in front. You were the lost lost boy? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. For the uninitiated who may not have been watching, following The Mandalorian and Grogu, Baby Yoda, as people call him, colloquially, for the past three seasons, what's the movie about? Where are we in the story? Well, Grogu is officially adopted as Din Djarin's son under the Mandalorian Creed, for anyone that follows the series. I think we all do. And they do everything together. They're on their missions together. Go see the movie. Plenty of reasons to, including Miss Secorny Weaver is in the cast. That is what an icon. Great to talk to you. What was she like? Did you enjoy that? What was she like? All right, so she's my, I don't know, Michael Jordan. You know what I mean? Yeah, let's just, round of applause for Secorny Weaver, please. I'm in. I'm a fan of movies. I've been a fan my whole life. I'm more of a fan than I am an actor. But this is pushing it. This is too much. This is really embarrassing. I'm standing next to the woman. And I'm like, but you don't understand. Like, you don't understand. Now, how do you feel knowing that there are people who stand next to you and now feel that way about you? Do you have any sympathy for them? I don't buy it. I don't think it's possible. I don't know. It just doesn't, I don't know. You're lying. No, I'm not. I promise you. There are people who probably tremble in your presence. I tremble in yours. Oh, we should probably kiss again. No! Do you, the producers, I'm sure you can edit this however you like, but the producers said that you have tequila. Oh, should I have some tequila? Yeah. It's that George Clooney tequila. Are you OK with that? Do you want in a glass or a shot? What do you want? I'll have it in a glass. OK, there you go. Can I drink? I can't, but I can't drink it. You can drink it. On camera? Yeah. OK. What are they going to do? Cancel me? Well, cheers. There you go. You don't have to have that much if you don't want. It's not bad. OK, there you go. It's a pre-birthday. This is a pre-birthday. You can. At this point, it is my birthday because it's after midnight. Thank you, Steven. Thank you. We love you. Oh, you're very kind. We love you. We love this man. It's not too bad. Now, young man, we have a clip here from Mandalorian and Grogu. Star Wars for kids. Yes. Do you have anything that you do we need to do, anything we need to set up here? This is the Mandalorian and Grogu in theaters. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. In theaters, made 20 seconds. I don't think you've ever read the script, man. Watch it. You'll get it. Yvonne, please. Because Loli would steal priceless on. What's even more, we have shamed you forever. We know not if you all die. I have a prediction. Film, clearly, it's going to be action-packed. We even have your character in water. There's a wet Mandalorian in this one. But I understand those scenes were not so tough for you, because you were a swimmer. There you are. There is a little Pedro Pascal. There, the wet. Was it harder to swim in armor? It's easier to float in armor. It's harder to fight in wet armor. That's for sure. And there's a lot of fighting that happens very, very wet. And it all gets a lot heavier. And then, in between takes, you just. And then they blow dry you like that? I'll release some videos soon, once the movie's out. With my illegal iPhone on that set. Oh, I bet they lock that stuff down. They lock it down, but not with me. What is the craziest skill you've had to learn as an actor for a part? I had to learn how to play the cello. Wow, that I can't. That's the hardest thing I've ever done. That sounds very, very difficult. Yeah. I was watching your bass player. She's fantastic. Yeah, yeah. Andy Owens. Andy Owens, everybody. Amazing. And I was like, oh, that's a good vibrato. Yes. She's in third position. She's jumping down to fourth. I was like, oh, I was so proud of myself. How was it on your fingers? I got the callus. I got the calluses, and that sort of made me proud. And yeah, I'm a great cello lip syncer. Oh, yes. In other words, you're doing the right thing, but maybe the tone is from somewhere else. If you heard it, it would sound like I was killing an animal. On a scale of one to yo-yo ma, where do you rank? In terms of sound? Yeah. Ooh. Below the earth. But I can make it look good. Well, Pedro, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for the tequila. Thank you for having me. What a pleasure. You're the greatest. Thank you. You're the greatest. The Mandalorian in Grogu is in theaters May 22. Mr. Pedro Pascal, everybody. We'll be right back.
