Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby Join Gordon Ramsay To Make Sausage And Mash
Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby will be seen in Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby joined chef Gordon Ramsay for a cooking session on his popular YouTube show Scrambled. The actors, who are currently promoting their upcoming film Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps, teamed up with Ramsay to cook a classic British dish: Sausage and mash.
As the episode kicked off, Ramsay jumped straight into chef mode. 'The secret of good sausage and mash?" he asked Pascal. The actor hesitated and replied, 'Are you going to quiz me?" Ramsay said yes, but Pascal playfully resisted, saying, 'Don't." The moment left Ramsay laughing.
To save the duo from tears, Ramsay peeled the onions beforehand. 'So, there's no acid there. You will not be crying. I promise you," he assured them. But when it came to slicing, Pascal looked a bit unsure. 'I f****** hate knives," he admitted and also apologised for swearing. On the other side, Kirby was given sausage duty. She had to heat them in a separate pan with thyme sprigs for flavour.
Pascal eventually took on the onions and sliced them before adding them to the pan. With salt, pepper, a bit of sugar and a dollop of butter, the mix was set to caramelise. Pascal's dramatic salt-sprinkling style (very Salt Bae, we must say) catches attention.
As the ingredients cooked, Ramsay mentioned that Kirby started as a baker. She shared how it began in her basement and described it as a calming 'meditative" activity.
In true Ramsay style, he poured in some brandy and a splash of wine. The conversation shifted to fellow actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach, whom they agreed was the best cook on set who always brought in 'epic" food and made morning coffee.
Next came the veggie stock, which was added once the onions and thyme turned golden brown. Ramsay asked Kirby to prick the sausages with a fork to help the butter seep inside better.
The final step was mashed potatoes with cream and butter to keep them soft. Though the task was assigned to Kirby, Pascal stepped in. 'This is the first time he's ever cooked in his life," Kirby playfully remarked.
During the light-hearted chat, Kirby, who is pregnant, also spoke about her relationship with Premier Lacrosse League president Paul Rabil. When Ramsay asked if they had picked a name for the baby, Kirby replied, 'You simply can't." Ramsay agreed, saying, 'There are several names that can be pre-decided, but it is impossible to name it without seeing this beautiful person."
Coming back to the dish, Pascal mashed the potatoes, slightly lumpy but done and plated the dish. The sausage went on top, followed by the rich onion gravy and a final touch of fried onions. As the episode wrapped up, Ramsay's wife, Tana Ramsay, came in for the final taste test. After trying both versions of the dish, she declared it a tie.
Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to hit the big screens on July 25.

Kingdom Ending Explained: Why is Vijay Deverakonda's Suri infiltrating his brother's syndicate and what is his final destiny?
Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers. Kingdom, starring Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role, hit the big screens on July 31, 2025. The spy action drama is directed by Jersey fame Gowtam Tinnanuri with actors Satyadev and Bhagyshrii Borse as the co-leads. If you have watched the film in theaters and are wondering about its climax, here's an explainer that you need to read. Why is Vijay Deverakonda's Suri infiltrating his brother's syndicate? Kingdom is set in the late 1980s in Sri Lanka, where Suriya aka Suri (played by Vijay Deverakonda), a police constable, works diligently. Owing to his past, the policeman is unaware of where his elder brother is and searches for him. In his quest to find his long-lost brother, Suri is assigned to an undercover operation to infiltrate a crime syndicate. The twist comes in his life when it is revealed that his brother Siva (Satyadev) is part of the syndicate and does shady actions for its functioning. As Suri successfully becomes part of the syndicate, Siva learns about his brother's true intentions. Meanwhile, the syndicate's powerful don's son, Murugan, is crossed with Siva owing to his growth. After figuring out Suriya lied to him, Siva warns his brother and decides to leave him. At the same time, Murugan (Venkitesh VP) decides to seek revenge. Similar to Game of Thrones' Red Wedding, Murugan kills Siva and his entire family, consisting of an indigenous group of Telugu-speaking people in Sri Lanka. As soon as Suri learns about his brother's death, he rushes to their rescue but is too late. Now, a furious Suriya unleashes his full strength against his brother's killers, ending their lives, only for the indigenous group's leader to see a tattoo on his body. What does Suri's tattoo mean? See the tattoo, the group leader remembers the prophecy their tribe had for years. Taking us to the 1920s, the tribe called Divi was on the brink of collapse in a battle against a British invasion. In the final moment, the tribe's king sacrificed his life to protect his people, and it was prophesied that he would reincarnate once again. The king had a tattoo, the symbol of the group. The same tattoo was inscribed on Suriya by a fragile woman when he was a child, indicating he is the reincarnation of their king. After learning about the truth, Suri learns about his true destiny and symbolically becomes the king of his people, joining the ranks within his group. At the same time, a new threat awaits as Murugan's brother Sethu is planning his revenge, setting up the premise for the sequel.

Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison To Team Up For The Social Network Sequel? What We Know
Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White may star in The Social Network II, written by Aaron Sorkin, focusing on Facebook's impact. Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White are reportedly being eyed for the long-rumoured sequel to The Social Network. Insiders close to the film's writer, Aaron Sorkin have told Deadline he has the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, 26, and The Bear actor, 34, in mind for the leading roles in The Social Network II. However, it's still early days and no formal offers have been made, as the team are still figuring out the budget and fine-tuning the script, per the outlet. The Academy Award winning filmmaker is said to have already written a screenplay for a sequel to his 2010 blockbuster, which starred Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and told the story of the social media platform's creation. As recently reported by Deadline, Sorkin is set to direct the follow-up, which comes 15 years after David Fincher was at the helm for the original. According to the outlet, sources say the upcoming movie will not be a straight sequel, but instead a 'follow-up to the original movie" which explored the platform's origins. It's said the screenplay delves into the story behind the Wall Street Journal's Facebook Files, which were a series of October 2021 articles by Jeff Horowitz. The pieces sought to expose Facebook's inner workings, and the harms caused by them. The focus won't all be on the suggestion that Facebook played a role in the January 6, 2020 attack on the US Capitol. It will also delve into the impact the site has on teenagers and preteens, as well as violence, and its wider effect on countries around the world. Back in 2021, Sorkin opened up on his plans for a sequel, insisting 'what has been going on with Facebook these last few years is a story very much worth telling." At the time, he suggested a sequel relied on Fincher agreeing to return to helm the follow-up. Last year, he insisted he 'blamed Facebook" for the US Capitol attack, but teased The Town podcast listeners that they would 'need to buy a movie ticket" to find out why. He did reveal that he'd started writing a sequel, and offered a hint about what direction that was taking. He said, 'Facebook has been, among other things, tuning its algorithm to promote the most divisive material possible. Because that is what will increase engagement. That is what will get you to — what they call inside the hallways of Facebook — 'the infinite scroll'… There's supposed to be a constant tension at Facebook between growth and integrity. There isn't. It's just growth." It's not yet known if Eisenberg will return as Zuckerberg. First Published: July 31, 2025, 21:12 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Priyanka Chopra Recalls 'Ram Leela' Song, Says Bhansali's Offer Was ‘Complicated'
Priyanka Chopra reveals why doing Ram Chahe Leela in Ram Leela was a 'complicated decision' and how Sanjay Leela Bhansali still remains a dear friend. Priyanka Chopra is taking fans down memory lane as she revisits her electrifying performance in Ram Chahe Leela from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013). Sharing a clip from the iconic dance number on Instagram, Priyanka confessed that doing the song wasn't an easy decision. 'When Sanjay Sir came to me with this song, it was a complicated decision, but him as a filmmaker has always inspired me," Priyanka wrote. 'His creative mind, his nostalgic stories usually over incredible food, the conversations of art and music to dance… the beauty of the yesteryears but also what the future holds. And then he played the song.. and I knew I was her." She went on to credit the team behind the shoot. 'Under Sanjay sir's guidance, Ravi Varman's cinematography shone, and Vishnu Deva was magic! Him and I would rehearse during lunch breaks every day to perfect the dance sequences. This brings back such great memories," she added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priyanka (@priyankachopra) In a past interview with Lehren Retro, Priyanka's mother, Dr. Madhu Chopra, had also revealed why her daughter was only seen in the special song and not the lead role, which ultimately went to Deepika Padukone. 'She went to his office… When she came back, she said, 'I am only doing a song in Ram Leela.' I asked her what happened. She said, 'I think that's better.' They might have had some lovely discussions that she agreed for something like this because they are still friends," Dr Chopra had shared. Dr Chopra also reflected on how demanding it was for Priyanka to play Kashibai in Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani. 'Kashibai was very hard because it was all about the expressions… Sanjay Bhansali is not an easy director. To keep him pleased with the performance was the target," she added. Meanwhile, fans eagerly await Priyanka's return to Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli's next directorial, tentatively titled SSMB29, co-starring Mahesh Babu. The collaboration has already generated significant buzz and marks her full-fledged comeback in a homegrown production.
