Emma Stone praises and jokes about Pedro Pascal
The Poor Things actress appeared for an interview on June 26, where she interacted with guest host Diego Luna. The two discussed various topics about her life and career.
The two closed out the interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, talking about Pedro Pascal. The Andor star recalled a viral moment, where Pascal and Austin Butler helped Emma Stone ward off a bee that flew around them. It occurred when they and the Eddington cast had been posing for pictures at the Cannes Film Festival, where the film had its world premiere.
Luna suggested that Butler brought the bee to the festival as a prank. Stone replied to this by jokingly suggesting that Pascal had “unleashed” it. The two then talked about The Mandalorian actor’s fame, with Luna claiming, “Pedro has become the new Coca-Cola.” He added that Pascal deserved his fame, calling him “amazing.”
Emma Stone responded, saying Pedro Pascal was “so wonderful.” The La La Land star added, “He’s talented, gorgeous, he’s nice, he’s funny. I’d f— him.”
