Sarah Paulson and Pedro Pascal, two of Hollywood's most sought-after actors, have been friends for over three decades, but their journey to success was not always easy. As struggling actors in the early years, Paulson often helped Pascal financially by giving him her per diem from jobs she was working on so he could have money to feed himself. The two first met in 1993 when Pascal was studying at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and became friends with Paulson and a group of recent LaGuardia High graduates. Despite the challenges, their friendship has endured and they have appeared together at red carpet events and even on Pascal's SNL debut, where Paulson made an appearance in a sketch.
Pascal's career has skyrocketed in recent years, with his leading roles in hit TV series such as "The Last of Us" and "The Mandalorian." However, his early years were filled with struggles, including waiting tables and auditioning for commercials and films. Despite these challenges, Pascal has become an internet sensation, earning the nickname "Daddy" on social media. Paulson is thrilled to see her friend's success and remarks that he is becoming a superstar in his own right.
