Pedro Pascal didn’t know he’d be taking part in Bad Bunny’s halftime performance at the 2026 Super Bowl until right before he took the field.
The last of us The actor reflected on his cameo in the huge, Grammy Award-winning Super Bowl performance in a profile with Great guy. Pascal admitted that he approached the Bad Bunny team about getting involved in some way, even if it meant he would volunteer or serve coffee.
“I wanted to get involved in any way I could — literally in a volunteer position, like serving coffee if needed — and I feel that through the people I work with,” he said. “When it comes to partying, there’s no one better than Benito right now, and that fills me with inspiration beyond just being super into his music.”
The Emmy nominee explained that he went to film Tony Gilroy’s film Giant! He didn’t hear back from Bad Bunny’s team, so he “sent someone an email with a selfie of me sticking out my tongue, saying, ‘This is really me.'” Within 25 minutes, they called me back and said, “We want you to come to the show.”
Once he arrived at Super Bowl LX, the actor explained that he honestly didn’t know he’d be taking the field to appear in Bad Bunny’s La Casita, a set piece he uses in his live shows. All he was told was to wear beige, but he quickly realized he would be on the show.
“I was under the impression I would be in a suite,” Pascal said. “There was a dress code – ‘wear beige’ – but I thought it was in case there was a photographer.” “So we were in the stands watching the game and someone pulled me out of my seat and took me backstage, and then there was Cardi B and there was Young Miko and there was Karol G and Jessica Alba. They did a wardrobe check and then they said, ‘Okay, the vibe is: You’re dancing.’
That’s when Materialists The star knew he would be appearing on the show, specifically Bad Bunny’s La Casita. He added: “I started to realize right before they started, and I was like, ‘It’s a casita.’ I’m so foolish. Oh my God, I’d be in a casita, as I walked down the square. So I guess that’s why I looked like a deer in the headlights.”
As Pascal explained, he wasn’t the only star to appear at the singer’s performance. Along with Cardi B, Young Miko, Karol G and Jessica Alba, the “Tití Me Preguntó” singer also tapped Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga to perform with him in the middle of the set, while Alex Earle, Dave Grutman and Ronald Acuña Jr. also appeared in Bad Bunny’s “La Casita.”
