Pascal's Cello Nightmare: Brutal Battles Easier Than Music
14 Oct
Summary
- Pedro Pascal found cello playing more daunting than on-screen fights.
- He described learning the instrument as his career's most challenging task.
- The film highlights the often-overlooked world of film scoring.
Actor Pedro Pascal revealed that mastering the cello for the upcoming film "Behemoth!" presented the most formidable challenge of his acting career. Pascal, who portrays a cellist returning to Los Angeles, admitted the role induced a unique fear, surpassing even the demands of his most physically and emotionally taxing previous projects.
The star candidly stated he would rather face his most harrowing on-screen combat sequences than endure the process of learning the cello convincingly. "I would choose fighting The Mountain in 'Game of Thrones' over learning how to play the cello," he remarked. Despite the daunting task, holding the instrument ultimately fostered a greater appreciation for it.
"Behemoth!" not only delves into its family drama but also sheds light on the often-unseen realm of film scoring. Director Tony Gilroy noted that even experienced crew members were unfamiliar with scoring stages. Musicians involved expressed their appreciation for the film's focus, with one actor noting, "Finally, a movie about us."
