Pedro Pascal Shares His Love for The Cure: A Reflection on Authenticity and Expression
In a recent BBC interview promoting his forthcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Pedro Pascal openly expressed his long-standing admiration for the iconic band The Cure. When asked which song he would choose to play on the radio, the actor immediately named their 1987 classic “Just Like Heaven.” His enthusiasm for the band is not a new revelation; he has previously showcased his fandom during various public appearances.
Pascal reminisced about memories of his youth, wishing he had embraced the goth aesthetic during his formative years. “I guess I just didn’t have the courage to,” he reflected, sharing anecdotes about attending a goth club for the first time, where he joyfully danced to The Cure’s music. This enthusiasm, rooted in nostalgia, demonstrates the power music holds in evoking emotions and memories, akin to the sentiments expressed in Ecclesiastes: “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance” (Ecclesiastes 3:4, ESV).
The actor’s affection for The Cure was further evident when he and co-star Ebon Moss-Bachrach were spotted dancing at the band’s concert in London last November. Pascal later shared a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a clip of the band playing “Plainview,” illustrating his deep connection to their music. He captioned the post with lyrics that resonate with feelings of longing and joy: “Sometimes you make me feel like I’m living at the edge of the world.”
This month, he continued to showcase his passion for the band, wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the cover of “Boys Don’t Cry” at the premiere of the West End hit Evita. Pascal’s unabashed expression of fandom serves as a reminder to embrace one’s passions and share them publicly, reinforcing the biblical principle of authenticity.
In light of Pascal’s experiences, we are encouraged to reflect on how we share our passions and interests with others. They can build connections, foster understanding, and inspire joy in those around us. It mirrors the essence of community and fellowship that Jesus emphasized, encouraging us to celebrate what brings us joy.
As we consider Pedro Pascal’s journey, let us reflect on our unique passions and how they shape our lives. May we also find strength in authenticity, as expressed in Proverbs 27:17: “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another” (ESV).
So, what fuels your spirit? As you explore your own interests, remember that embracing and sharing them can lead to deeper connections and understanding within your community.
