Denzel Washington and co-star Pedro Pascal’s awkward red carpet exchange
I must say, reading about the illustrious lives of Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal leaves me in awe. It’s fascinating to see how their paths have intertwined over the years, from shared beginnings on the sets of TV shows to the heights they’ve scaled in Hollywood.
During the grand premiere of director Ridley Scott’s $310M production, “Gladiator II,” Denzel Washington and co-star Pedro Pascal experienced an unusual interaction on the red carpet at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on Thursday.
In a video posted on Paramount UK’s Instagram, the seasoned actor of 69 years said to the 49-year-old Chilean beauty, “I’m not as talented an actor as I am.
Denzel playfully ridiculed Pedro’s high-profile stardom, commenting, “They might rename the film ‘Pedro I,’ with Pedro as the lead actor, screenwriter, director, and editor.
As an over-the-moon admirer, I couldn’t help but nod my head in agreement when he mentioned that the future holds a trilogy. I can hardly contain my excitement and can’t wait to see if you’re ready to embark on this journey with me!
In response, the twice-honored Oscar recipient chuckled dismissively, “I won’t participate,” before momentarily abandoning his stoic persona and warmly hugging the thrice-nominated Emmy candidate.
‘Good man. Great actor. Good… I wouldn’t call him a friend,’ Denzel cautioned.
‘What are we doing next?’
Pedro (born José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal) appeared hurt and exclaimed: ‘What do you mean?!’
Washington replied: ‘Well, it’s not like we have tea, you know?’
‘I’m waiting in the wings,’ Pascal volunteered. ‘I’ll have tea with you anytime!’
The actor from New York City who now resides in Los Angeles replied with this suggestion: “Sure thing, when you visit LA, swing by my place.
All of a sudden, after 41 years of marriage, Paulette Pearson Washington, Denzel’s wife, unexpectedly stepped in to embrace The Wild Robot actor warmly.
‘I was just about to say, me and Pauletta are friends,’ Pedro smiled.
‘Yeah, right. Y’all are friends!’ Washington deadpanned to the camera.
‘You see how that goes? This is life. This is how it goes. This is Pedro, and he’s been making time with my wife. If I were in Gladiator, I’d kill Pedro right now. But I won’t do that because he’s a nice guy.’
In a moment of pride, the producer of “The Piano Lesson” stood alongside the 74-year-old actress from Reasonable Doubt, who is his partner in parenthood to four children: John (aged 40), Katia (36), and twins Olivia and Malcolm (both 33).
Denzel Washington and Pauletta first encountered each other while filming an NBC movie titled “Wilma” back in 1977, and they later reaffirmed their marriage commitment during a ceremony in 1995, which was officiated by the renowned anti-apartheid activist Desmond Tutu in South Africa.
In the upcoming film “Gladiator II,” set for release in the UK and US this coming Friday, Washington takes on the role of Macrinus – a former slave turned influential figure, who manages a group of gladiators and aspires to claim the title of Roman Emperor.
In the much-anticipated follow-up, Pascal portrays Roman general Marcus Acacius. At present, it boasts a ‘freshly endorsed’ 75% positive critique rating (based on 155 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
The victor of the Screen Actors Guild Awards confidently struck a pose on the red carpet alongside his transgender sister, Lux, who captivated everyone in a daring black Stephane Rolland dress.
Since Pedro shone in two highly-rated, critically praised TV series, Disney’s The Mandalorian and HBO’s The Last of Us, there’s been growing excitement about him.
In the upcoming second season of “The Last of Us,” a gripping post-apocalyptic series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, Pascal will once again take on the role of the fierce guardian Joel Miller, set to air in early 2025 exclusively on Max.
The highly praised post-apocalyptic TV show, modeled after Naughty Dog’s top-selling 2013 motion-capture video game, set new benchmarks for the cable channel.
On the Australian edition of TODAY, it was revealed last Monday that Washington intends to retire once he has completed his forthcoming four assignments.
In a unique twist, the producer-star of The Equalizer 3 will take on the role of Othello, sharing the stage with Jake Gyllenhaal, under the direction of Kenny Leon. This revival of William Shakespeare’s classic play Othello will run from March 23 to June 8 at Manhattan’s Ethel Barrymore Theatre.
Denzel Washington will additionally appear in Spike Lee’s remake of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 crime thriller “High and Low”, Antoine Fuqua’s yet-to-be-titled biopic about the Carthaginian general Hannibal, and the third Black Panther film by Marvel Studios.
