The conversation took a more personal turn when Cohen asked Paulson about surprising aspects of her friendship with Pascal. With a playful tone, she referred to him as a “b**** baby,” before revealing more serious insights.

She quipped about how Pascal now takes the initiative to pay for dinner, highlighting a shift in their dynamic. More notably, Paulson shared Pascal’s deep passion for cinema. “He’s a real cinephile,” she explained. “He knows about more movies than anyone, even more than the Letterboxd place that I go to.”
Paulson also mentioned Pascal’s tendency to drag her to horror films, stating, “He takes me to all the scariest movies that I don’t want to see. That’s something he likes to do.” This insight paints a picture of their vibrant friendship, grounded in shared interests and playful banter.
As both actors continue to thrive in Hollywood, their friendship remains a testament to their mutual respect and admiration. Paulson’s comments not only affirm Pascal’s talent but also shed light on the dynamics of their enduring relationship.
