In a revelation that left both the audience and host Jimmy Kimmel utterly astonished, Pedro Pascal confessed to a shocking Disney faux pas during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The acclaimed actor, who headlines Disney+'s flagship Star Wars series The Mandalorian, dropped the bombshell that he has never set foot in any Disney theme park – a fact that left Kimmel visibly gobsmacked.
The Moment of Truth on Late Night
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Kimmel, discussing Pascal's role in the billion-dollar Disney empire, casually asked which was his favourite Disneyland ride. Pascal's response was a simple, gut-wrenching: "I've never been to Disneyland."
"You've never been to Disneyland?" Kimmel gasped, his voice dripping with disbelief. "You're the star of the biggest show on Disney+!" The sheer irony of a key Disney star never experiencing the company's most iconic physical attraction was not lost on the host or the roaring studio audience.
From The Mandalorian to No Memory-Maker
Pascal, who plays the beloved helmeted hero Din Djarin, is the face of one of the most successful properties in the modern Star Wars canon. His work has driven subscriptions and merchandise sales for the entertainment behemoth, making his admission all the more startling.
Kimmel, seizing the comedic opportunity, immediately launched into a mock-serious critique of Pascal's life choices. The host painted a vivid picture of the actor's mandatory future: being personally escorted through the park's gates, forced onto 'It's a Small World,' and required to take a picture with Mickey Mouse whilst still in full Beskar armour.
The hilarious exchange highlights the often-surreal disconnect between the corporate machinations of a global brand and the personal lives of the artists who front its most valuable content.
A Viral Moment for Fans
The clip is swiftly making the rounds on social media, with fans equally amused and scandalised by Pascal's revelation. Many are calling for Disney to immediately rectify the situation, jokingly demanding a "Pascal's Magical Day" vlog special.
While his character may know the outer reaches of the galaxy, it seems Pedro Pascal has yet to explore the Most Magical Place on Earth. One thing's for certain: after this public shaming, his first trip to Disneyland is likely to be very, very soon.
