Eye-Opening Details About Sarah Paulson And Pedro Pascal’s 30-Year Friendship
Is there a hotter star in Hollywood right now than Pedro Pascal? The charismatic actor is firing on all cylinders at the moment. But as he continues to dominate the spotlight, we’d say it’s time to fill in the blanks on a little-known detail about his personal life. What many fans may not know is that Pascal has enjoyed an epic 30-year-long friendship with fellow actor Sarah Paulson. Their bond is adorable, but it wasn’t without its early-days drama, either. So get ready to learn more about the celeb besties you didn’t know you needed in your life!
Friends on the rise
Pascal and Paulson have both enjoyed incredible rises in the entertainment industry, taking the big and small screens by storm. Quite frankly, we’d be amazed if either of them could’ve predicted this when they were first introduced to each other back in the 1990s, so that must make their respective successes all the more sweet. While they took separate paths, the pair ended up in the same place. And now they’re at the top of the mountain, more people are zoning in on their friendship.
A deep bond
It isn’t hard to understand why, either. Paulson and Pascal’s bond runs deep: it’s the furthest thing from a generic Hollywood friendship. And as we noted before, it’s been tinged with drama at points, too. For instance, one of the stars provided financial support to the other in the early part of their career. You don’t do that if you’re not tight with someone. So on that note, we’d say it’s time to take a dive into this unique celeb relationship.
How it all started
It all began in September 1993. At that stage, Pascal was just getting his feet under the table in New York City; he was preparing to join his fellow students at New York University’s Tisch School Of The Arts. Fortunately, it didn’t take Pascal long to make a friend there, who went on to connect him to another fledgling performer. Yep, we’re talking about Paulson. The Hollywood stars looked back on that during a joint chat with Interview magazine in 2014.
“Adopted me”
Pascal recalled to Paulson, “I was really lucky because my first friend at NYU lived in Brooklyn, Kristen. And [she] went to high school with you, so your guys’ posse kind of adopted me.” Paulson and her “posse” first formed at the prestigious LaGuardia High: you might know it better as the Fame school. Stars such as Al Pacino, Jennifer Aniston, Robert De Niro, Nicki Minaj, and Timothée Chalamet are all previous students there, so she’s in very good company!
