Wrestling is our new favorite sport, especially if it involves Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal.
The two Hollywood heartthrobs are deep in the trenches promoting the Gladiator II sequel — and thank god, because we have a new favorite sound bite from this promo cycle!
One particular clip going viral shows Joseph Quinn (Emperor Geta, one of the two brothers who rule the empire together) asking Mescal (who plays Lucius, the son of Maximus from the first film) and Pascal (who plays Roman general Marcus Acacius) who, between the two of them, would win a wrestling match between them.
"I'm gonna win that," Mescal says confidently. Pascal replies, without missing a beat: "But I'm going to enjoy it." Mescal laughs, and Quinn looks confused. Let us know when that happens because we'd like to tune in!
The question was included in a promo video where Quinn led his costars in a game of "Mescal vs. Pascal: Battle Edition."
The video had Quinn asking them who would win in several battles, including a dancing battle (Pascal), a rap battle (Mescal), a karaoke sing-off (Mescal again, "I f*cking hate karaoke!" Pascal shouts), a cooking battle (Mescal once more, with Pascal revealing he knows how to burn toast), a spelling bee battle (Mescal), and — finally — a wrestling match.
Gladiator II premieres on Friday, November 22 in theaters.
