Examining the Bond Between Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac
In a Wired interview on January 9, 2023, Pedro Pascal reminisced about his friendship with Oscar Isaac, which blossomed in 2005 during an off-Broadway play. At that time, they earned a modest $500 a week.
Reflecting on their early days, Pascal fondly remarked on Isaac’s playful spirit:
“He’s so naughty. His level of naughtiness onstage during that play was incredible. He played a ghost, which allowed him to disrupt my scenes without being visible to my character. He had free rein to make me laugh or forget my lines in front of a live audience,”Pascal recalled.
In a roundtable discussion with Esquire in 2022, Oscar Isaac jokingly noted that Pascal was “obsessed”with him. He humorously added:
“I try to get away from him; he finds me. Even when I change my number, it’s like a disease.”
Pascal, addressing Isaac’s comments in a separate Esquire interview, playfully quipped:
“I don’t care to respond. Whatever makes him happy. I’ll always be there for you, Oscar. Always.”
In another Esquire piece from March 2022, Isaac elaborated on their shared experiences, describing how they are both “children of Latin immigrants”and how their parallel journeys in acting have helped forge a familial bond:
“Along the way, we’ve found a family,”he jokingly referred to Pascal as “the younger brother I never wanted.”
Pascal and Isaac’s collaborations also include the 2019 action film Triple Frontier, highlighting their enduring friendship both on-screen and off.
