Pedro Pascal has finally opened up about his look during Bad Bunny’s historic performance at Super Bowl LX in February of this year.

For those unaware, Pascal was seen dancing with a group of famous people in ‘La Casita” during Bunny’s halftime performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Shedding light on his appearance in a conversation with Fantastic Man, Pascal admitted that he thought he would be watching the show away from the field.

The Game of Thrones star quipped, “I wanted to participate in any way – literally a volunteer position, like serving coffee if needed – and I put the feelers out through people I work with.”

Explaining how he ended up on the show, Pascal shared, “I went straight into shooting this project with Tony Gilroy named Behemoth!. I was on set every day, and if I wasn’t shooting, then I was in a cello lesson. Afterwards I was lamenting about not hearing back and I sent someone an email with a selfie of me sticking my tongue out, being, like, ‘It’s really me.’ Within 25 minutes, they called me back and they were, like, ‘We want you to come to the show.'”

He said there was a dress code and everyone had to “wear beige,” so he was also “under the impression” that he would be dressed in a suit “but I thought it was in case there’d be a photographer”

Pascal was “up in the stands watching the game” when somebody pulled him from his seat and took him backstage where stars like Young Miko, Jessica Alba, Cardi B, and Karol G were already present.

“They do a wardrobe check and then they tell me, ‘Okay, so the vibe is: you’re dancing.’ I started to realise right before they started, and I was, like, ‘It’s the Casita. I’m such a f****** idiot. Oh my god, I’m going to be in the Casita,’ as I was being marched out into the field. So I think that’s why I seemed like a deer in headlights,” the 51-year-old Chilean-American recalled.
