Pedro Pascal recently collaborated with actor Steven Yeun for a segment called “Actors on Actors.” The actors discussed their careers, past work and their encounters with road rage in a one-on-one interview. The Last of Us actor then said that he was once spit on by another driver because of his mistake.
Pedro Pascal and Steven Yeun, stars of Netflix’s Beef, sat down with Variety on the segment Actors on Actors. Steven described how his character Danny Cho, who has recently been involved in a violent road rage incident, finds himself in a chaotic game of vengeance against Ali Wong. During the interaction, Pedro recalled how he had been involved in a road rage incident the day before the interview.
“How many people have been telling you their road rage stories? Because I have one that happened yesterday,” Pablo inquired. The actor talked about his recent interaction with a random driver as he revealed, “Yesterday was a day.” He said that it was entirely his fault. He revealed that he have had 3 incidents, all of which were his fault. “I cut somebody off, and I look over, and there’s a big glob of saliva — like visual effects put it there, man — just dripping down the side of the passenger window.” Pascal also stated that his sister was in the car with him and was equally shocked as he was.
The actor went on to say that the saliva came from the driver spitting at him. Pedro admitted to being “in shock.” “It didn’t trigger any rage out of me,” he said, explaining how it didn’t trigger him. He added, “It absolutely humbled me and shocked me, scared me a little bit, disturbed me.” Pedro said that it seemed like “They want me to drink in their saliva.”
