Pedro Pascal's love for The Cure

From NME:

The personal stories behind Pedro Pascal’s impeccable band t-shirt collection

There’s musical meaning to the Hollywood star’s cool-as-fuck wardrobe

The Cure are his fave band of all time

“Well, The Cure is middle school and high school for me. I also bought this shirt myself – in Paris at a record store. My stylist is going to be pretty annoyed, although I do get her approval.

“I finally got to see The Cure live for the first time here in London with Ebon Moss-Bachrach while we were shooting The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It was one of the best shows. I presumed – it’s so rude of me – that I probably missed the era of when it was best to see them live. But it was literally one of the best shows I’d ever seen. I was in tears for most of it.

“I wouldn’t dare meet Robert Smith. I can’t with musicians. They’re gods to me. Movie stars as well, like [The Mandalorian And Grogu co-star] Sigourney Weaver, but at least we can talk about a shared experience and shared skill. Musicians and singers are just like aliens to me.”
