'Everybody wants a piece of him'
Sarah and Pedro first met after the latter moved to New York to study at the Tisch School of the Arts, both hoping to make it big in Hollywood. They have time and again shown one other support over the years, with Paul even going on ‘Saturday Night Live’ to encourage Pedro during his guest hosting stint. She recently revealed that she helped Pedro by giving him the cash to 'feed himself' before he rose to fame. "He’s talked about this publicly, but there were times when I would give him my per diem from a job I was working on so that he could have money to feed himself," she said in an interview with Esquire.
"He’s a part of some spectacularly successful things. But sometimes in those situations, the show is the superstar. It’s really exciting to see that he is the thing that is becoming the superstar out of this," she continued, “Everybody wants a piece of him. You just want him to succeed. And that to me, I feel like, is the sign of a major movie star.” Paulson rose to fame in the early 2000s after landing a slew of high-profile TV shows. She then steered her way to Hollywood where she worked in ‘American Horror Story’ franchise in 2012.
He was 'getting my ass f***ing stomped'
Meanwhile, Pascal, who now has a net worth of $10M, saw a late success after delivering groundbreaking performances in ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Narcos’, ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ and the ‘Last of Us’. He recently discussed achieving stardom later in life, recalling the difficulties he faced early in his career and admitting he was 'getting my ass f***ing stomped' as he pursued acting. "I guess that, and this delusional self-determination, and no real skill at anything else, is what kept me going," he told Esquire.
Early in his career, Pascal believed it would all be 'finished' if he did not reach bigq¹ success by the age of 29. "I died so many deaths. My vision of it was that if I didn’t have some major exposure by the time I was twenty-nine years old, it was over, so I was constantly readjusting what it meant to commit my life to this profession, and giving up the idea of it looking like I thought it would when I was a kid. There were so many good reasons to let that delusion go," he added, as per Daily Mail.
