Pedro Pascal has once again declared his admiration for legendary British goth band The Cure, shedding more light on his deep-rooted connection to their music in a recent BBC interview.
While promoting his upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Pascal was asked about his musical preferences—specifically, his love for The Cure.
When prompted to pick one track he’d like to hear on the radio, the actor didn’t hesitate: “‘Just Like Heaven,’” he said, referencing the band’s timeless 1987 hit.
Childhood Nostalgia Meets Goth Vibes
During the same interview, Pascal was quizzed on whether he ever had a “goth phase.” He responded candidly: “I didn’t. I wish I had, I guess I just didn’t have the courage to,” he admitted. “I was like a little theatre nerd. But I went to a school (where) all the Visual Arts kids, they all sported that look.
The mascara and fingernail polish. My first club that I went to was a goth club, it was like a 16 and over night, and I went with my friend and we danced. We danced to The Cure.”
That moment clearly left a lasting impression. It wasn’t just a passing phase—it was the beginning of a lifelong musical love affair.
Pedro Pascal’s relationship with The Cure is more than fan appreciation—it’s personal, nostalgic, and deeply genuine.
Caught on Camera: Pascal at The Cure Concert
Pascal’s admiration for the band is not limited to interviews. Last November, while filming The Fantastic Four in the UK, he and co-star Ebon Moss-Bachrach were spotted dancing together at The Cure’s show at the Troxy in London. Fans and concertgoers alike were thrilled to see the duo losing themselves in the music.
Not long after, Pascal shared a touching video on Instagram from the concert, capturing the band performing their iconic 1989 song Plainsong. He captioned the post with heartfelt lyrics: “Sometimes you make me feel/ Like I’m living at the edge of the world/ Like I’m living at the edge of the world / ‘It’s just the way I smile,’ you said.”
He added: “#TheCure in #London #Plainsong (I’ve waited since 1989 to see this live. Thank you @ebonmossbachrach ).”

And for those still wondering if he ever had a goth phase? Maybe not outwardly. But inside, the spirit of The Cure has clearly been there all along.
