Pedro Pascal's mind-blowing net worth has legit landed him on the list of Highest-Paid TV Actors
Pedro Pascal has been out here working for literal decades both in theater and practically any kind of screen imaginable. Case in point? One of his earliest roles was a 1999 guest spot on the iconic television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Ahem: Despite the minor role, good karma clearly caught up with Pedro, who, 24 years later, sweetly recalled his time on the series during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. The celeb reminisced on working with lead actor Sarah Michelle Gellar, and remembered, "Absolutely everything. I remember she had ice cream in her trailer, and she gave me some. She went back to her trailer, she got me some ice cream and she shared - 'cause it was a night shoot, it was in the middle of the night, and we were on the UCLA campus. They hadn't built their college sets yet." Fast-forward over a decade, and it was Pedro's multi-episode appearance as Oberyn Martell (aka The Red Viper) on Game of Thrones - a gig he landed with the help of his lifelong friend Sarah Paulson, who helped him audition for the show - that put him on the map (and made viewers everywhere high-key thirst over him 👀). Since then, he's been cast in tons of projects, from The Last of Us and Narcos to Gladiator II and the newest iteration of the Fantastic Four means he's been making some serious moolah as of late. Just how much, you ask? Let's get into it. Chances are, one of the first times you saw Pedro in a large-scale project (which likely coincided with one of the first times you stared at your screen like this 👁👄👁) was in the 2015 Netflix crime drama series Narcos, which the actor went on to star in for a whopping three seasons. The hit show was based on the real-life events of DEA agent Javier Peña, who helped lead the international investigation and manhunt for Pablo Escobar, the Colombian drug lord. The show has since gone off to explore tons of spinoffs, including Narcos: Mexico, which is also referred to as "the one Bad Bunny is in," lol. To put it lightly: the American space Western television series was a big freakin' deal. Like, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the season 3 trailer for the show was viewed over 83.5 million times, which totally blows the previous record for a Disney+ Star Wars series of 58 million views for Obi Wan Kenobi out of the water. Despite being the titular protagonist on The Mandalorian as Din Djarin aka *the* Mandalorian, the actor's salary has not yet been disclosed. However, according to industry insider Daniel Richtman (via StyleCaster), Pedro asked for a raise in anticipation of season 3 of the series. Additionally, the outlet reports that, once she was fired from the show, actor Gina Carano revealed she'd earned between $25,000 and $50,000 (£18,500 - £37,000) per episode during her time on it (oh, and that the leading stars, who Pedro most certainly was, made much more). Slotted during Max's coveted 9 pm EST Sunday slot, The Last of Us totally catapulted Pedro to new levels of stardom. Given the limited cast (I mean, other than the zombies, obvi), the actor's star power was bright as he took on the lead role of Joel, a smuggler who is hired to escort a girl named Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) across a post-apocalyptic United States. According to Variety, Pedro made a whopping $600,000 per episode (aka $5.4 million total) for season 1, which made him one of the highest-paid actors in 2021. Oh, and according to Celebrity Net Worth, that per-episode salary more specifically made the celeb the 12th highest-paid actor on television that year. Btw, in a 2nd February, 2023, appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Pedro recalled the hilarious experience of having forgotten he'd gotten the role after taking an Ambien. "I get a call that I got the job after I took the Ambien, and so I was excited I guess, but I didn't remember," the actor relayed to Jimmy. "I woke up in the morning and the first thing that occurred to me was like, 'Oh man, I really want that job.'" He then continued, "I'm in London, they're in L.A., I'm gonna wait by the phone all day long, this hasn't happened in a while, I'm gonna be longing and I'm gonna think about it all day long. And then it was like, 'Congratulations, I'm so happy for you!' when I looked at my phone. And I was like, 'Oh yeah, I got the job!'" Truly could not feel more #blessed that Pedro wound up being our Joel. 🥺❤️ Oh, and for everything you need to know about the cast on the latest season of the hit show, head right on over this way: Throughout his career, Pedro - a graduate of New York University Tisch School of the Arts - has routinely gone back to the theatre world. In fact, just some of his most notable stage roles were in productions like King Lear, Maple and Vine, Beauty of the Father, Sand, Based on a Totally True Story, Old Comedy After Aristophane's Frogs, Some Men, Much Ado About Nothing, and Macbeth. Didn't think we could be more obsessed with this man, but here we are! Yep, including Gladiator II with Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and Denzel Washington, who reportedly picked up a whopping $20 million (£14.8 milliom) for the film. We can only assume Pedro raked in the big bucks, as well. Not to mention, Pedro is also entering his rom-com era in A24's The Materialists alongside Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, where he plays a non-evil Mr. Big type with a $12 million ($8.9 million) mansion. The actor probs picked up millions, too. Yep, in November 2023, it was announced that Pedro was cast as Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic) in the latest Fantastic Four film, which was no doubt a pinch-me moment for the actor, who, after taking on the role of Max Lord in Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman 1984, was so incredibly gracious and had this to say when Variety asked whether he'd get another opportunity like it: "It will never happen felt so special...I don't know! I'm protecting myself psychologically! It's just all too good to be true! How dare I!" What 😭 a 😭 humble 😭 king 😭😭😭. Oh, nothing much! Just a totally not-at-all-casual $10 million (£7.4 million) buckaroonies. Honestly, we can't even be mad since there's truly nothing we enjoy more than watching Pedro on our screens. That being said, I'll leave you with this healthy reminder, courtesy of Pedro's tee:

Is Sabrina Carpenter a part of Mamma Mia 3? Producer finally answers the BIG question
Amanda Seyfried and producer Judy Craymer have addressed the persistent rumors surrounding a potential third "Mamma Mia!" film. While Seyfried playfully hinted at a possible Greece-based sequel before 2038, Craymer emphasized the franchise's enduring appeal and ABBA's timeless music. Fan speculation about Sabrina Carpenter joining the cast has also surfaced, with Seyfried expressing her support for the idea. The 2000s rom-com era delivered plenty of gems, but few shine brighter than Mamma Mia! (2008). Starring Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried , the film became a cult classic, thanks in large part to their unforgettable mother-daughter chemistry and career-defining performances. Exactly a decade later, the beloved sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again hit the screens, continuing the story with just as much heart and charm. Since then, whispers of a third installment have surfaced now and then—though lately, the buzz has grown louder, prompting a response from Amanda Seyfried herself. In a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, Amanda Seyfried was finally pressed to address the one burning question on every musical rom-com fan's mind: 'What's happening with Mamma Mia 3?' True to her playful style, Amanda quipped, 'Oh... yeah, Mamma Mia 3 is happening. Hopefully in Greece, before 2038.' Safe to say, Amanda's cheeky reply wasn't the concrete update fans were hoping for. However, franchise producer Judy Craymer offered a more hopeful perspective in her interview with Deadline. She emphasized her unwavering belief in Mamma Mia's timeless global appeal—anchored by ABBA's iconic music. Craymer noted that the charm of ABBA transcends generations, saying, 'The Sabrina Carpenter generation and Dua Lipa's, and even Pink's generation, are all influenced by the songs.' When asked directly if Sabrina Carpenter might join the Mamma Mia universe, producer Judy Craymer playfully envisioned her as 'a goddess' or perhaps a character related to Meryl Streep's Donna—someone who could strikingly resemble the iconic lead. While not a confirmation, the idea certainly adds fuel to fan speculation. Interestingly, the more popular fan-cast fantasy has Sabrina Carpenter playing the daughter of Amanda Seyfried's character. But with only about a 13-year age gap between the two stars, the idea raises some eyebrows. It remains to be seen whether Amanda would be on board with such a bold casting choice. Refreshingly candid, Amanda Seyfried addressed the fan-casting buzz in a 2023 chat with ABC News. Embracing the idea, she said she'd happily don old-age makeup if needed. 'I'm an actor. I'll do it,' she quipped, adding that she's a big fan of Sabrina Carpenter and fully on board if it happens.

Cheryl Burke defiantly addresses scrutiny over her physical transformation
Cheryl Burke wants to change the conversation about her appearance. The Dancing With The Stars pro, 41, opened up about the scrutiny she has been facing over her physical transformation in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. While she is aware she 'signed up' for the attention by virtue of being famous, she still feels gaslit when when hit with comments about her physical appearance and would prefer to focus on all the work she has done from herself 'from the inside out.' She told the outlet: 'Let's talk about mental health, let's talk about like what I've done as far as the last few years when I haven't been in the spotlight but I have done so much work on myself from the inside out. 'And for me, you know, I'm proud of that work and I wish the conversation would be more towards and geared towards that instead of "She is on Ozempic, she got a whole face lift and everything about her has changed"... gaslighting. 'If I were to say it doesn't affect me, I'd be lying. But does it affect me as bad as it did when I was on the show? Not even close!... I know I've signed up for it, I understand, I'm a public figure, I'm not trying to stop anything from happening. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'But I just am here to hopefully influence anyone who is in a similar position as me or who can relate, especially young women, that, you know, there is more depth to a human being than their outside physical appearance.' Cheryl - who was married to Boy Meets World star Matthew Lawrence from 2019 until 2022 - has suffered from body dysmoprhia for most of her life, and admitted that it reached its peak when she had to undergo regular fittings during her time on the ABC dance competition and she became obsessed with her weight. She said: 'I do suffer from body dysmorphia... especially as a dancer in front of mirrors. Constantly. Since I was a little girl, and this was even before my Dancing with the Stars career. 'My weight has always been an issue but I think what people sometimes don't understand is it is a lot of work, it takes a lot of work, it takes a lot of self-care... In the height of my insecurity and my body dysphoria was weekly fittings on the show. 'And I don't blame the show by any means; but it's just the name of the game... squeezing into these costumes, and it is what it is. But it would affect me to the point where I would weigh myself constantly. I would travel with a scale. That's crazy, that is definitely on a whole other level and I knew this could no longer continue. The number would affect my every day, just would dictate how I feel.' She attributed her weight loss to the food program Zen and shifting her eating habits. Her interview comes after Cheryl slammed social media critics commenting about her appearance. The Dancing With The Stars professional dancer took to her TikTok page last week to dispel rumors that she was using weight-loss drug Ozempic. 'Let's just address the elephant in the comment section. I'm not on Ozempic. I'm not sick. I didn't get a face transplant, and no, I didn't get a brow lift,' she said in the TikTok video as she took her makeup off. 'The level of projection that is happening and that I'm witnessing is wild,' the star said, referring to the countless comments fans have left under her videos regarding her changed appearance. 'This is not Cheryl Burke,' one person wrote under her previous video, which featured the star dancing, while another said: 'GLP1 Final Boss' and someone else said 'Ozempic Cheryl.' The way some of you guys talk about me, it's like you think I'm a headline or a filter, not a person. But what really gets me, "We miss the old Cheryl."' 'Suite Life of Zack and Cody Cheryl. Back in 2006, Dancing With The Stars season two when I was 21 years old. Or the three years ago Cheryl when I was going through a divorce. Because I hate to break it to you, but that Cheryl doesn't exist anymore,' she said as she wiped off her makeup. Adding: 'The assumptions are just exhausting as hell. The accusations are completely cruel and the fact that so many of them are coming from women - that's what's so shocking and hurtful to be quite honest.' Cheryl went on to say in the TikTok: 'I have been in the public eye since I was 21 years old. My body has changed over the past 20 years. My face has changed because I have changed. I've experienced so much trauma, divorce and this is by no means a pity party, sobriety, burn out, reinvention, I've healed, I've lost, I've grieved like anybody else and yeah, maybe it shows but I'm not sorry for it, not one bit.' 'Do you want to know what's really changed? My passion, my purpose, my commitment to using this platform for something real. But what's been so challenging honestly lately is this pressure to prove that I haven't done something. To convince people that honestly my healing is valid, simply because it doesn't come with a before and after label they approve of,' she said. 'I'm still the same person that advocated for mental health and body image for years' noting that she does it different now,' adding that 'this is me at 41. I'm still healing, still growing and still choosing to show up.' The star noted that if 'you're here to speculate, compare, or demand answers that you're not entitled to, you're not welcome' in her space that she created. She added the caption: 'I'm not on Ozempic. I'm not sick. I didn't get "a new face." Stop dissecting women's bodies like they belong to you. This is YOUR reminder: I don't owe you an explanation for my healing or for anything quite frankly. Let this be the last time I have to say it,' adding hashtags: '#stopbodyshaming #realtalk #mentalhealthawareness.' Cheryl got a divorce from actor Matthew Lawrence in 2022 after they were married for three years. He went on to date TLC singer Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas. Cheryl became a household name on Dancing With The Stars, which she appeared in for 26 seasons until her retirement from the show in 2022.

Cheryl Burke begs fans to stop focusing on her appearance as she addresses body image struggles
Cheryl Burke wants people to stop focusing on her body. The 41-year-old dancer - who is best known for having been a professional on 'Dancing with the Stars' - has "done so much work" on her mental health in recent years but feels "gaslit" when met with comments about her physical appearance even though she is aware that she "signed up" for that sort of thing by becoming famous.
