Pedro Pascal has become one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars in the world of fantasy and adventure, with memorable roles ranging from “Game of Thrones” to his breakout as the masked hero in “The Mandalorian,” and now his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.”
Currently, his face even appears on specialty milk jugs to promote the Marvel movie, so it is fitting that the internet has been buzzing again about his favorite childhood cereal, a nostalgic brand that many grew up with. Interestingly, “The Fantastic Four” star does not even need a bowl for it. He says he can enjoy it straight from the box, no milk required.
Pedro Pascal’s beloved choice is Cap’n Crunch. He once told GQ that it is one of the ten things he cannot live without, ranking it alongside essentials like deodorant and his iPad. In that interview, he eagerly opens the box, rips into the inner bag, and smiles as he says, “Who doesn’t want to have a little Cap’n Crunch?”
During a Reddit Ask Me Anything, Pascal even admitted he could finish an entire box in one sitting without adding milk. His reason for loving it so much comes down to the flavor. When “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans asked him why Cap’n Crunch beats other cereals, Pascal responded, “Cap’n Crunch is just so tasty. The taste… what is that taste? It’s like caramel?” In the same GQ interview, he described it as “caramel, popcorn, childhood, butter.”
He is not far off. The cereal’s sweetened corn and oat base delivers a mix of brown sugar and buttery notes, with molasses in the ingredient list adding an extra depth. That combination might explain why its flavor is richer than a standard caramel.
For Pascal, Cap’n Crunch is more than just breakfast, it is comfort, nostalgia, and indulgence all in one crunchy handful.
