Pedro Pascal shares what it was like to work alongside Nicolas Cage in the upcoming movie TheUnbearableWeightofMassiveTalent. 'I would never have imagined I would ever actually, you know, meet one of my heroes.'
Pedro Pascal has shared that he couldn't believe he got to act alongside Nicolas Cage in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. The movie is set to follow Cage, who stars as himself, as he begins to give up on his acting career and accepts a paid invitation to attend the birthday party of a billionaire super-fan named Javi Gutierrez . Unbeknownst to Cage, Javi is a dangerous crime lord, and he gets recruited by CIA operatives Vivian and Ray to put an end to his reign.
I would never have imagined I would ever actually, you know, meet one of my heroes. Whether I liked it or not, I saw his movies more than I saw other people's movies. So, I don't know how to describe what it was like in terms of being here and having this experience, because on the first day of shooting and saying 'Action!' I'm in a scene with Nicolas Cage. I know how sycophantic it sounds, but that's the way it is.
The film is one of Pascal's first comedic works, a stark contrast to his time spent in Disney+'s The Mandalorian and his upcoming role in HBO's The Last of Us, but a welcomed partner alongside Netflix's upcoming comedy The Bubble. With his talent and range, this will likely prove to be yet another smash role for the ever-growing star.
