Pedro Pascal has been making headlines during his press tour for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” but it’s his honest talk about childhood celebrity crushes that has grabbed fans’ attention. The 50-year-old actor shared personal details about the stars who caught his eye growing up, with a surprisingly relatable list of Hollywood icons.
During an interview with Spanish-language outlet Fotogramas, Pascal opened up about his earliest attractions alongside his Marvel co-stars. The conversation revealed a collection of crushes that spans decades of movie history and includes some of the most beloved performers in entertainment.
“My crushes, oh gosh, started early,” Pascal said during the interview. “It started with Olivia Newton-John…”
The actor’s list included Newton-John, with particular note of her iconic role in “Grease,” before expanding to include other legendary performers who left a lasting impression on him during his youth.
Harrison Ford Takes Center Stage
Among Pascal’s various celebrity attractions, Harrison Ford emerged as a particularly important figure who captured his imagination across multiple iconic roles. The “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” actor had a double dose of appeal for the young Pascal.
“Indiana Jones, all the way up to the Last Crusade,” Pascal explained, referencing the third film in the original trilogy released between 1981 and 1989. “All the way to now. It’s sort of like a double Harrison Ford, isn’t it? Han Solo.”
Pascal also mentioned Michelle Pfeiffer‘s portrayal of Catwoman in “Batman Returns.” When his co-star Vanessa Kirby brought up Newton-John’s catsuit in Grease, Pascal immediately connected it to Pfeiffer’s iconic leather-clad performance.
The conversation expanded to include Marlon Brando, whose screen presence in “A Streetcar Named Desire” left a deep impact. “Marlon Brando appears on screen in A Streetcar Named Desire, and you can’t even stay seated,” Pascal noted about the legendary actor’s magnetic performance.
Career Success and Personal Privacy
Pascal’s willingness to discuss these personal details contrasts with his general approach to privacy regarding his romantic life. The actor has consistently chosen to keep his current relationships out of the public spotlight while remaining open about other aspects of his personal history.
“I always feel confused when I’m identified in whatever form of media as a ‘highly private person,’ because that’s the opposite of me,” Pascal explained in a June Vanity Fair profile. “I’m very unprivate in my private life. I just know that personal relationships are such a complex thing to handle even without having this enormous lens on them.”
Pascal’s current focus remains on his expanding career, including his role as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” which premiered Friday, July 25. The Marvel film also features Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the superhero team.
Beyond his Marvel debut, Pascal has maintained a busy schedule with multiple high-profile projects, including his continued work on “The Last of Us” and his recent appearance in “The Materialists” alongside Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans.
