Pedro Pascal & Steven Yeun | Actors on Actors 

Steven and Pedro are the perfect pair up because they both have a depth and kindness towards everyone AND they’re funny as hell

whoever puts these pairings together needs a raise!!

Steven Yeun is really one of my favorite actors at this point. I totally get what Pedro means about seeing Glen for the first time in Walking Dead and recognizing a “quality” there. Yeun just nails every single role - action, comedy, drama, horror. He brings such a realness.

The fact that Pedro fully respected Bella's pronounce (they/them) just warms my heart. Truly a dad we all need!

they’re so gentle and soft spoken ! two intelligent talented men having an honest conversation about their careers, this is how actors on actors should be every time

I’m mesmerised with Pedro’s calm eloquence, earnestness and beauty in interviews.

Two of my favorite zombie apocalypse actors in an interview. Makes my day!

seeing two down to earth men hyping each other up and just having an unwavering respect for each other through the whole conversation was beautiful

The way Pedro talks about Bella is so god damn beautiful. Such a heartwarming and thoughtful interview from both Pedro and Steven.

I am convinced that Pedro Pascal and Keanu Reeves are the most likable men in Hollywood.

You don't know how much I want Steven to play Mr Negative in the MCU.. His performance in burning sells it to me

Steven Yeun is so poetic and wise, and Pedro is the delight of a human being that we all think he is. Just... such a treat to see these two talents talking to one another.

Pedro and Steven need to be in a buddy comedy STAT, they have so much charisma/chemistry 🔥

Pedro is a literal ray of sunshine. He exudes such warmth, authenticity and generosity. It's impossible not to love him.

No wonder millions are in love with Pedro Pascal-you really couldn't even write a better man. Not only is he insanely talented, delivering a range of emotionally riveting , evocative, immersive performances, but he possesses so many beautiful traits. He's really the most internally and externally beautiful man alive to me -watching him in Narcos drove me insane. Not to mention how humble, funny, charming, compassionate, and wholesome he is.

My heart is literally fucking melting when I hear Pascal and Yeun talk about Bella. You can clearly see the love and the friendship that Pascal and Bella share. Yeun speaks about Bella with so much respect. Everyone deserves a Pedro in their life. Period. I've never wanted to meet/be friends with someone as much as Pedro and Bella ❤😢

'Beef' and "The Last of Us' are two of my favorite shows in a long, long time

The fact that every Pedro + other actor interview has a comment that says “the duo we needed” speaks volumes of Pedro. He’s just the PERSON everyone needs. I hope everyone finds their Pedro. 💛

THIS IS TOO ICONIC OMG 🫶🏽✨💕

something about the way Steven referred to Bella as "she" (100% okay bc Bella's pronouns are she/they) and Pedro responded referring to Bella as "they" so then Steven started using "they" too... it's so respectful and lovely. Two genuinely great people here

Could we please have a 2-hour version of this freaking amazing conversation? I'd love to hear them talk about their bilingual/bicultural upbringing and how it affected their lives and acting... Gosh 40 minutes felt like 4 minutes with these two! Love them! 💞💞💞

Pedro is truly what I imagine the universe intended human beings to be when we were created... Such a beautiful, kind, gentle, calm and compassionate human! Forever in awe.

Both Steven and Pedro got nominated for Emmys this year! They are both first time nominees too. Btw, I just binge watched TWD recently and I cannot believe the Emmys never nominated the overall show or any of the actors all those years- it was an excellent drama series that included zombies. TWD was definitely robbed, especially for the ultimate leading man, Andrew Lincoln. Jon Bernthal just got nominated for an Emmy this year too, when he should've been nominated a long time ago during the first 2 seasons of TWD, smh.

Lee Chang Dong’ Burning is such a silent masterpiece. Steven’s performance in it is probably his strongest. Him and Yoo Ah In in one frame were so emotionally charged without dialogue, it’s amazing.

A buddy cop movie with these two would be golden

If there's an Oscar category for "Best Babysitter" Pedro Pascal should win it next year for babysitting Grogu in The Mandalorian and Ellie in The Last of Us 😂

Listen to what Steven says about Pedro's performance in the Mandalorian! 15:48 How many actors would willingly agree not to show their face in such a major Star Wars role? So observant and sweet of Steven to point that out. Loved Steven for saying those things after people constantly going after Pedro for it, even though it was the essence of Din Djarin's character to not show his face.

Two humble and compassionate human beings embarrassing each other with constant compliments for 40 minutes straight. I could watch this all day

the duo i didn't think i needed

Both Men’s heads were smashed to pieces. Truly poetic

What a beautiful connection between two self aware and empathetic men. I would love to see them in a film together I think their chemistry is palpable. I also appreciate Pedro's consistent observation and respect of Bella's pronouns especially as a man approaching 50 who simply has lived a life where this layer of language was not reinforced in the way it is now.

I love listening to people talk so eloquently without sounding obnoxious 😍

Steven has so much empathy and insight; there’s a reason he’s becoming one of the best working directors and is already my favorite working actor. Hell, he’s even generous *in this interview*. Such a great conversation between these two.

I hope these two went out for dinner afterwards, because they were definitely not done talking to each other. I enjoyed this conversation a lot. Both soft spoken, eloquent and sincere humans.

I love both these guys. But Steven Yeun's performance in Beef made me cry so much. He was so moving and touching in that show.

Hearing Pedro referring to Bella as "they" so naturally brought up something in me... What a wonderful man

Hands-down the best Actors on Actors episode ever! Two of the most intelligent, gracious actors working today clearly enjoying each other's company, asking thoughtful questions, waxing eloquent about each other's work, and generally just being fun to watch. Variety, you crushed it, YOU FUCKING CRUSHED IT!

I will never get over the way Pedro talks about Bella! ❤

Steven Yeun and Pedro Pascal in conversation were a dream to watch, each displaying the utmost admiration and respect towards each other. The amount of humor was perfect. Every interview/conversation should emulate this conversation.

How did they get my only 2 celebrity crushes together, the collab i didn't think i needed

It is so rare to find 2 people who can talk about their experiences at such a deep level and completely understand each other. This was an amazing match!

I'm so glad that Steven and Pedro have now officially met and bonded over their post-Apocalyptic TV shows and road rage experiences lol. They are truly the best duo to have for this interview. Even better is that Steven was a true gamer playing TLOU for 12 hours straight the year it came out! I wish it was longer though, since Pedro wanted to discuss Steven's other work like Minari, and as an Asian American, I'm glad that Pedro mentioned their similar bilingual, immigrant experience as well. Steven also mentioned that back when Pedro was in Game of Thrones, they even attended the same Comic-Cons 10 years ago, which was pretty cool to hear as a fan of both.

Man Steven is so well-spoken.

My only complaint is that there wasn’t enough time to hear more of their thoughts on their experiences. Also, I did feel dumb at a certain point of their conversation lol but i think it’s mostly that they are actors and are on a different wavelength. They had me wanting to speak into depth about life with someone once it was over. I just love them *sighs*

When Steven cracks up laughing, I get such a dopamine hit. He wears his heart on his sleeve and doesn't feel the need to be this super serious, super cool Hollywood dude. Love him. And love Pedro.

Steven is legitimately the best working actor today

*swoons* & *passes out* two men who are absolute chef's kiss in all ways. a note to all men: be more like Pedro & Steven.

I never expected both of these guys to be in a room together. Hearing them talk made me realize how similar they are and it really suprised me

Patiently waiting for either Steven or Pedro to be crowned as People Magazine's sexiest man alive

Pedro saying "they" when referring to Bella almost made me tear up. beautiful

both of my celebrity crushes in the same room 😭 feels good to know they’re just as beautiful on the outside.

I’d love a weekly podcast with Steven and Pedro. Such a great conversation!

These two gentlemen deserve all the fame that will come their way. What well spoken, sincere, warm individuals they are.

Im so glad steven has been getting alot more main stream attention, the guy has evolved so much as an actor and deserves the recognition, seeing him on interviews like this and the actors round table and the god damn oscar nomination, he's killin it

Pedro and Steven complimenting each other for 38 minutes 😂 love these two so much

Love Steven Yeun. Met him at Fan Expo & he is such a nice guy. Same with Tom Payne from Walking Dead. Would love to meet Pedro.

Knowing how Joel and Glenn both end up,this pairing is perfect

Let’s not forget that Pedro carried narcos in a way that will be legendary in the coming decades!

I feel like I just got to see the start of a beautiful bromance and I feel almost like I snuck into the room and watched a private conversation. This was really wonderful!

Pedro is just so adorable and personable. To be in his shoes and still be so sweet. So rare. You just got to adore him.

this was so so so lovely to watch 😭😭 the amount of gentle respect they have for each other is so grounding. and the fact that they were both at the same comic-cons back in the day!! really reminds of the times when both GoT and TWD were on top of everyone’s mind. incredible times, incredible actors♥️ so happy to see what they’ve both achieved in the last decade.

variety knew exactly what they were doing when they paired these two. i haven't been this excited for an interview before!!

Steven Yeun is incredibly articulate and cerebral with his questions and conversational methods, I'm super impressed, wow.

Not Pedro slapping Stevens leg cause he’s so shy and happy about the compliment he received 🤣❤

To see two of my favorite male actors intelligently complementing each other…. I have never been this happy.

Pedro is so Latino and wants to reach out and touch Steven so bad but Steven is so Korean and basically wants to jump across the room every time he reaches out 😭😭

9:06 This scene from Beef had me truly stunned. We are seeing the character open up and become so emotionally vulnerable, all the while we really have no idea what's going on inside. He's being torn apart from so many angles. Is he actually having a religious experience? Is he truly being moved? Does he simply see the atmosphere of the worship at the church as a warm and open setting/excuse to let out his emotions? Just absolutely brilliant.

Both of these guys are the most lovable and talented bilingual actors that represent their respective cultures. It’s amazing to see

The fact that the spit take did not have Pedro angry and instead shocked and guilty, that's crazy, and awww what a soul.

I NEED a multi-hour version of this conversation, so emotional and packed with inner reflection, truly one of the best conversations on here

It's heartwarming to see Steven Yeun being the one giving wisdom on how to navigate the aftermath of being in a captivating project even though he's 10 years younger than Pedro.

Besides them being extremely high quality actors, fascinating and attractive human beings - what a sweet bromance, so heartwarming to watch :)

THIS WAS SO WHOLESOME. They must be put in SOMETHING together, pleeeease. So much handsome on my screen right now. Also the fact that he played the game during walking dead and now is interviewing Pedro... Life is crazy.

Such a wonderfully profound conversation between both amazing actors. Pedro looks so soft and huggable here (idk if it’s the denim, the fluffy hair, his deep, calm eyes)…I just want to hug him!

Pedro aged like fine wine. And I don’t even drink.

So tender hearted, smart and wholesome. Nice

This is probably one of the best Actors on Actors. Such a smart pairing.. beautiful souls!

Enjoyed Pedro in this interview, I like his take on The Last of Us how he doesn't want to let go of the whole experience of it, I feel that way even months after season 1 has ended

I admire these two men so deeply, and to see them both be so incredibly humble, vulnerable, and relating to each other is just beyond. Kudos Variety, kudos.

2 masterful actors. Beef was so good and the last of us show was way better than I thought I’d be. Both actors deliver exceptional performances.

Interesting having Pascal and Yeun speak to each other seeing as how both of their characters experienced shocking deaths

We need a hospital series with these two. I'd love to see them in multiple situations where they are healing people. No need for them to do violence.

These two need to be in a movie or tv show together already!!

They need to do a part 2 with Pedro and Steven. They have so much more to talk about.

Whoever paired these two knows what they’re doing damnit. These two are so genuine and likeable

Steven was my favorite on TWD from the very first episode. I couldn’t bear to watch the show after he left.

i have always admired Yuen. and i just realized that Pascal is so eloquent. His feelings and emotions are well delivered! Yuen can immediately relates. Both are amazing and kind actors.

28:50 when Pedro graciously says-he doesn’t like to watch his acting coz he understands for himself that watching the end result of the project kinda takes away from his own experience/journey ❤ this convo is a blessing Professionals speaking/showing more humanity & vulnerability than they’ve alrdy presented in their work ethic & acting is truly precious They’re a beautiful duo & this convo is chefs 💋

Steven better win an Oscar in the next few years. And Pedro is such a dad😂😂😂

They intently listen to each other. I love how Pedro speaks about Bella.

I love it when smart people interview each other. This was great.

11:40 "We both have good finales" Oh boy the feelings. Glenn and Joel. Two Life giving characters.

what a lovely conversation, i really couldn’t stop smiling at these two. they’re such wonderful souls.

If you haven't seen Burning (2018) yet, it is probably Steven Yeun's best performance. Such a hypnotic performance!

I love Pedro Pascal like most people do, but I'm really glad that Steven Yeun is getting more roles. He's awesome as Invincible and Beef on Netflix was great.

Thats the best interview ive seen in decades. Wish there could be another session with these two to talk about more of the things they didnt get to.

I love watching these two actors try to contain their inner fan boy as best they can 😊

What a fantastic interview. To hear them using Bella’s pronoun correctly is also like hearing your favourite song for the first time. Had a great experience with Steven once at a convention. All the convention staff in the line were like, get your photo and move on there’s a big line don’t waste time with him. When it came to my photo with him as well as what I could see of others, he took the time to pause with us, grounding ourselves in the moment. Shook my hand and said how much he appreciated our/my attendance with him. Just a real wholesome experience.

Have these two ever starred in a project together? If not, can this please happen! I just love them both sooooo much 🤩

And now they're both nominated for Emmy's for their roles. It's amazing!
