Pedro Pascal and Sarah Paulson’s Friendship Timeline

In a 2014 conversation between Pascal and Paulson for Interview magazine, the “Narcos” star revealed the duo met in September 1993 when he had just moved to New York City. “I was really lucky because my first friend at NYU lived in Brooklyn, Kristen, and went to high school with you, so your guys’ posse kind of adopted me,” Pascal told Paulson.

One of Pascal’s earliest memories together was going to see the movie “Fearless” with their friends in the Upper East Side. “There were eight of us sitting next to each other and, as I remember, we were all sobbing by the end of it,” Pascal recalled.

After finishing the movie, they all went to the park, where they just so happened to see Woody Harrelson. “We were the two people who knew exactly who he was and fanned out a little bit. Nobody else cared,” Pascal said. “We had our little celebrity sighting moment and that, in retrospect, was our first step towards bonding.”

Their wild night out didn’t end there, because Pascal remembered the group “running down Fifth Avenue” and “getting knocked down by a cabbie.”

“I remember that so clearly,” Paulson said. “It’s a wonder we survived. When I think about the debauchery, the things that we did, the kind of sh*t we were pulling and the way we were behaving, I don’t even know how we made it to the next morning, much less 20 years later.”
