Pedro Pascal revealed his love for Prince while eating hot wings with Sean Evans.
"The Mandalorian" star was the latest celebrity to feature on First We Feast's "Hot Ones" challenge, in which stars eat ten chicken wings, with each wing being hotter than the last one. They will also have to answer questions from host and co-creator Sean Evans.
"The Last of Us" actor finished the 10-wing challenge, maintaining a cool demeanor. On the last chicken wing, Evans asked Pascal about his love for Prince, and asked him why "Purple Rain" is the song the star would want to be played at his funeral.
"It's my favorite song. It's the most moving song," Pascal shared. "I don't know why, but it always emerges even before I actively started implementing it into my spiritual routine, essentially. I didn't go to church. I was raised by HBO, Spielberg and Prince."
"For me, 'Purple Rain' is the most emotionally cathartic, the most musically sophisticated song that I can think of. If it's casually or spontaneously playing somewhere, I don't have emotional space to go there because it just moves me so deeply," he added.
