Pedro Pascal, renowned for his versatile acting, has unveiled a memorization technique that left many astonished. Speaking at a SAG-AFTRA Foundation fundraiser, Pascal demonstrated what he calls a “psychotic” process to commit lines to memory.
Comparisons to the Zodiac Killer’s cipher swiftly followed, as he uses the first letter of each word arranged in columns – a method he jokingly likens to the Unabomber.
In Pascal’s own words, “It’s this very, very tedious way of making yourself learn the line so that you’re not making choices. It’s not even sort of artistic; it’s just this really technical way I’ve had to acquire because of that terrible experience of forgetting my lines.”
Kieren Culkin, also present at the event, labeled the process “gibberish,” adding a touch of humor to the unique approach. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) joined in the amusement, with one suggesting, “Imagine if Pedro just flashed The Fantastic Four script, and none of us can decipher it.”
Speaking of The Fantastic Four, Pascal’s casting as Reed Richards has stirred the online community. Marvel Studios officially announced the cast, featuring Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, and Pedro Pascal.
While reactions were mixed, with some questioning the choice of Quinn as Johnny Storm, Pascal responded to the news on Instagram with a heartwarming post, stating, “From our family to yours #TheFantasticFour, in theaters July 25, 2025 #AllYouNeedIsLove.”
Despite the anticipation for The Fantastic Four’s release on July 25, 2025, Pascal’s upcoming projects keep the excitement alive. Drive-Away Dolls premieres on February 23, 2024, followed by The Uninvited later this year. Moreover, fans can look forward to seeing Pascal alongside Joseph Quinn in the highly anticipated Gladiator 2, hitting theaters on November 22, 2024.
Pedro Pascal continues to mesmerize both with his unconventional line-learning technique and his exciting ventures into iconic roles.
