Pedro Pascal just admitted that he felt like a “deer in headlights” at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show because he had no idea he would be part of the performance.
The Hollywood actor was keen to get involved in the superstar’s massive gig during the football game earlier this year and offered to take on a role as a volunteer and was happy just to serve drinks if it meant he could be a part of the production.
Pedro told Fantastic Man magazine, “I wanted to participate in any way – literally a volunteer position, like serving coffee if needed – and I put the feelers out through people I work with.”
He continued, “When it comes to representation synchronized with celebration there’s no one better than Benito [Bad Bunny] at the moment, and that fills me with inspiration outside of just being super into his music.”
Pedro didn’t hear back about his request to help so he followed it up by sending a selfie to prove his identity and he claims the singer’s team got back to him straight away.
“Afterwards I was lamenting about not hearing back and I sent someone an email with a selfie of me sticking my tongue out, being, like: ‘It’s really me.’ Within 25 minutes, they called me back and they were, like: ‘We want you to come to the show,’” he added.
The Mandalorian star also admits he thought the invitation meant he would be watching the show from a box and he was amazed to discover he was going to be a part of the performance.
He told the publication, “I was under the impression that I would be in a suite. There was a dress code – ‘wear beige’ – but I thought it was in case there’d be a photographer.”
“So, we’re up in the stands watching the game and somebody pulls me from my seat and takes me backstage and then there’s Cardi B and there’s Young Miko and Karol G and Jessica Alba,” he recalled.
“They do a wardrobe check and then they tell me, ‘Okay, so the vibe is: you’re dancing’. I started to realise right before they started, and I was, like: ‘It’s the Casita. I’m such a f**king idiot. Oh my god, I’m going to be in the Casita,’ as I was being marched out into the field,” he said.
“So, I think that’s why I seemed like a deer in headlights,” Pedro Pascal concluded as he opened up about why he felt like the odd one out amongst the singers.
