🐱: BOOOOOP

🦐: tell me about a character or story that is giving you shrimp emotions right now

Since I finished the Last Binding trilogy I’ve been absolutely obsessed with Jack Alston for just… so many reasons I think. He only has one scene in the first book but he absolutely stole the show for me, to the point that for some reason I had a dream where he was in a relationship with Patrick Bateman?? That was bizarre, but anyway, I like Jack as a character so much. How he wants to be left alone but also wants to help, how he’s scared to be too close to anyone because of what happened to his sister, the persona of the heartless rake he puts on and wears like a suit… I want to study him under a microscope

Pedro for Icon ElPaís (10-02/20)

By Juan Sanguino • Photographer: Danielle-Degrasse-Alston • Stylist: Warren Alfie Baker Related: photoshoot / list of articles / en Español

The first big opportunity in his career was presented in 2011, when he participated in a pilot episode of Wonder Woman for NBC, but the network discarded the series and Pedro Pascal returned to his main occupation: to play the criminal of the week in Law and Order. “That cancellation was a disappointment, of course, I wanted to work. I did not care if it was something good or bad, I just wanted to work," he recalls today from his Los Angeles home during a virtual conversation with ICON. Now Pascal plays the villain of Wonder Woman 1984, one of the blockbusters destined to return audiences to movie theaters. 

How can you not believe in fate? The boy who broke his arm twice playing Indiana Jones has ended up becoming the favorite hero of kids, as the bounty hunter in The Mandalorian, his parents, as Agent Peña in Narcos, and, well, everyone's as Oberyn Martell, The Red Viper in Game of Thrones. When Pedro was little, the good guys were always white and the bad guys were Russian, Arab or Latino. The Wonder Woman 1984 villain, however, is a white billionaire played by a Chilean.

“The film is set in the United States in the eighties, which were marked by capitalism and greed. It was a tainted concept of evil. Stripped of humanity, but still absolutely attractive and alluring. People who dreamed of being rich and successful had to be salivated. It is true that at that time villains in the cinema projected a xenophobic image. Now, the white man finally can be the  bad guy.”

Some already compare his character, Maxwell Lord, to Donald Trump because of that muck in this mud: Reagan's glorification of rogue moguls in America turned guys like Trump into aspirational “role models” and “glamorous stars”. 

“Trump was not the core of inspiration for my character. Our costume designer's vision based on Gordon Gekko from Wall Street, American Psycho's Patrick Bateman and other suckers in expensive eighties suits. All those millionaires who hid despair, unbridled ambition and terrifying masculinity.”

If Pedro Pascal sounds like a socialist infiltrated in Hollywood it is because that is exactly what he is.

“When Reagan was elected, many people around me were frustrated that the worst forms of capitalism was winning. In my home, with refugee and socialist parents, conservatism was not demonized, but it did go against what was important to my family.” 

Pascal's father, José Balmaceda, was an Allende supporter doctor who saved the life of a priest wounded by Pinochet's militia. The priest was later tortured and ended up confessing the name of his savior. When the police went to look for Balmaceda at the hospital where he worked, he took his wife and the newborn Pedro, jumped over the wall of the Venezuelan embassy in Santiago de Chile to request political asylum. Pedro ended up growing up in San Antonio, Texas, in a socialist home, but in Reagan's land. A Chilean with no memories of Chile who was called Peter in high school.

Pascal has never left the immigrant mentality behind. Even his father, who opened his practice in California, always lived in terror that at any moment everything could vanish. 

“It doesn't matter who you are, how much you are working or how much you get paid. Deep down you always think that each job is the last one.“

Maybe that's why he didn't dare to move from his Red Hook, Brooklyn, hovel to a home more suitable for a Hollywood star until filming for Kingsman 2 and Narcos was over. Nor that he had spent more than a full week at his house since Game of Thrones made him the guy most people want to party with. 

Pascal knew right away that Oberyn Martell, the “Westeros’ rockstar” who always seemed ready to fight or fornicate with the same bravado, was going to change his life. 

“I had done a lot of castings for friends' plays, for copy factory ads or for very serious independent films that no one was going to see, while I watched how many characters that I had been about to play changed the lives of other actors. And thanks to my experience and maturity, I recognized the potential of Oberyn. I understood who he was and who he could be.”

The actor found out about the audition when one of his acting students told him that he had auditioned but had been discarded because of his youth. Pedro snapped up and must have thought, "What would Oberyn do?" So he recorded a video on his phone and sent it to his good friend, actress Sarah Paulson, who passed it on to her good friend actress Amanda Peet, who then showed it to her husband, David Benioff, one of the creators of Game of Thrones. The rest is history of television and headaches: when he was informed by the Narcos producer he was chosen to play Pablo Escobar's pursuing policeman, he accused him of making a spoiler for Game of Thrones: if Pascal had a free agenda, it is because Oberyn was going to lose his fight against The Mountain. Of course, he couldn't imagine how.

Part of that electric, lively and hedonistic energy of Oberyn comes from Pascal’s summer of 1996 he spent in Madrid, where in addition to studying, he also worked as a go-go dancer in a disco. That stay was transformative, because the actor realized: throughout his life he had had to adapt his identity with each new move, but in Madrid he felt effortlessly at home. 

“I was 20 years old and I liked it so much that I almost moved. My main language is English, I have an American accent and I can pass for white. But in my house there were many cultural differences with respect to the outside world and I remember that when I was 20 years old, and arrived in Madrid, I felt very comfortable in my own skin in a way, that I had never felt anywhere else. I guess, I was not aware that I had spent my childhood and adolescence learning new ways of adapting, connecting, and learning. On the contrary, living in Madrid was organic and easy for me. I made friends right away and I felt supported.”

By the time he was 40, Pascal was already resigned to being an actor with enough odd jobs to pay the rent. According to him, his aquiline nose was a bad feature by Hollywood standards. Far from being offended or frustrated by this typecasting, he was always looking forward to it, if it translated into a new check. 

“It is very strange to develop a fantasy as a child, to have the opportunity to turn it into a hobby, then to study and finally transform all that into a career. That is the bet. But my dream of becoming the next Leonardo DiCaprio died.”

 He died dozens and dozens of times. So to move on, he had to accept that, at best, he was going to be an actor with a job. That was already a triumph. 

“In addition, I accepted I was not qualified for anything else, I had no more skills: I had to put all my time, my energy and my concentration in being an actor and the rest in living life and having fun."

That absence of vanity lives on today, even when he's been involved in large-scale projects for five years without stopping. After Game of Thrones, he has made eight films, of which seven are action blockbusters. The wave of fame came to him when he no longer expected it but when he was well prepared to ride it. Still, every workday is a surprise and he acknowledges that what amazes him most about Hollywood is the sheer physical stamina that people have. 

“Sometimes a project can look like building a city: with all the hours, all the work and energy it requires. Some people have better stamina and can get by with little sleep. That is an interesting contradiction: all the people creatively involved in a film have a special sensitivity and at the same time they have developed a very tough skin and energy to go through the physical experience of shooting it.”

Then Pascal switches to Spanish (the language he uses to confess intimacies) and explains, in a nutshell, that he is old for this shit. 

“I thought I had all the energy in the world, and now, in my 40s, I see that ... wow! There are times when I don't know if I will be able to reach the goal, because my energy is not at the necessary level. But I always take it forward.” 

Maybe that's why people get so high in Hollywood. Pascal responds between laughter and again in Spanish.

“I already took all my drugs very early. It is something that is already too much in the past, and in middle age a hangover is not an option. No, no, no.” 

What if the other hangover, the wave of fame, runs over you? 

“I was a good waiter. Not at first, because they fired me many times, but I ended up getting the hang of it,” he jokes. If the Hollywood thing doesn't go well, you can always serve drinks again. But at the moment, Pedro Pascal is the personification that American dream, although sometimes it takes a little longer to materialize. Even Ronald Reagan would be proud.

Pedro Pascal: “I already took all my drugs very early. In middle age, a hangover is not an option ”

When he was approaching 40, he resigned himself to having sporadic papers that would allow him to pay the rent. But playing Oberyn Martell in 'Game of Thrones' changed his life and opened the doors of 'Narcos'. Since then it has not stopped. Now he's the villain from the blockbuster 'Wonder Woman 1984'

THE ANGELS OCT 2, 2020 - 3:19 PM EDT

Iona P&O Cruise Ship Interior Design

25 May 2021

Iona P&O Cruise Ship

Architects: Jestico + Whiles

British cruise ship operator, P&O Cruises, has launched the latest addition to its fleet, Iona, with interiors designed by hospitality experts, Jestico + Whiles.

Britain’s largest and most environmentally friendly ship, powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) will accommodate up to 5,200 guests.

Iona was named in a spectacular ceremony broadcast to a virtual audience on Sunday May 16 and the ship’s maiden voyage will be on August 7, sailing the UK coast and up to her namesake island.

The award-winning interior design and architecture studio has designed most of the food and beverage spaces throughout the ship and the most spectacular space of all, the soaring triple-height Grand Atrium which captures unprecedented panoramic views across the ever-changing seascape, as far as the horizon.

The Grand Atrium is the heart of Iona, a lively focal point that encapsulates the spirit of the ship, with spectacular views and natural light. This special space is designed to ‘draw the outside in’ and, accordingly, Jestico + Whiles has made the sea the hero of the space, allowing guests to connect with the seascape around them.The Grand Atrium will be, according to the occasion and time of day, either playground or sanctuary.

It a key entertainment space, designed meticulously to effortlessly accommodate a wide variety of experiences, from musical performance to thrilling aerialists.

At other times it will attract guests throughout the day for convivial repose, offering from morning coffee as the sun rises and sundowners at dusk.

An elegant, gravity defying, arcing staircase of Italian marble with a filigree, bright silver serpentine balustrade serves as the centre piece to the space, evoking the glamour of the iconic cruise ships of the early 20th century. Designed as a sculpture, its swooping form leads guests on a journey through the decks offering ever changing views.

The unifying experience of the atrium is always the view to the sea that provides an enchanting, captivating backdrop to the activity within.

Jestico + Whiles’ Associate Director, Jennifer de Vere-Hopkins said: “Despite the challenge of such a large space, we have worked closely with P&O Cruises to create a unique Grand Atrium that is harmonious with the separate venues, making the space both open and intimate. The refocusing of the guest experiences on the sea is the heart of an entirely new brief. The sea becomes the focus of the triple-height space; the sinuous curves are shaped around it, framing and complementing the views to the outside.”

P&O Cruises senior vice president, Paul Ludlow said: “We’ve set out to make sure the sea is the star on Iona, and the design of the Grand Atrium tells you so much about how special she is going to be. Balancing intimate spaces with larger social areas, guests will be wowed by the three storey high glass walls and the ever-changing view they reveal. From the moment they step onto the staircase, I know guests will be swept away by the beautiful design.”

Jestico + Whiles has designed P&O Cruises first ever ‘gastro pub’ – The Keel and Cow – on Deck 8, with views over the Grand Atrium and the ocean. The Glass House on Deck 7 will include an impressive wine list and menu curated by award-winning wine expert Olly Smith, wines from around the world are served by the glass. Wine connoisseurs will be well taken care of with a new experience, Cellar Door at the Glass House will offer wine talks, tastings and wine-pairing dinners. Guests can relax with unbeatable views as they watch impromptu aerial and circus performances in the three-storey high space.
