Pedro Pascal & Vanessa Kirby Bonded on the Set

Pascal has previously discussed his experience of working alongside Kirby. “I love being led in a way. What you may identify as generosity for me, it just isn’t. I’m only inspired by … I guess just powerful women have been the thing that has gotten me through being alive,” Pascal told Collider in an interview on June 6.

He continued, “So, to have the opportunity to stand by one, to learn from one — just a partner, it’s partnership; it’s male and female, but it’s also just a kind of transcendent sort of partnership in the work and in the characters.”

Kirby had high praise for the actor. “I’ve never had a male actor as a counterpart who’s been so utterly equal and supportive of the relationship. But also the female character opposite him. I just feel so grateful every day to have an actor like Pedro who is so generous,” she said.

Kirby echoed these thoughts in an interview with Vanity Fair for their July/August cover story issue. She commented on how Pascal has a vulnerability to him. “He doesn’t have much armor, so he shows himself to you straight away, and you trust that person because he’s revealing himself to you in this very brave way,” she said.
