Emma Stone jokes about her co-star in her new film: "I'd sleep with him."

American actress Emma Stone has sparked laughter and headlines after humorously praising her co-star, Pedro Pascal , during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live . While promoting Eddington , the new film directed by Ari Aster, the two-time Oscar-winning actress didn't hesitate to joke about the Chilean actor's worldwide appeal , calling him "very handsome" and with whom she shares a scene in the highly anticipated tragicomedy.

The film, which tells the story of a confrontation between a sheriff and a mayor in a fictional town, features a high-profile cast led by Joaquin Phoenix, Luke Grimes, Pedro Pascal, and Stone herself. During the interview, conducted by actor Diego Luna as guest host, the actress was full of praise for Pascal: "He's talented, gorgeous, nice, funny... I'd sleep with him ," she humorously emphasized.

Her admiration also extended to the actor's dizzying career: "He's everywhere. It's Pedro's takeover." Stone's statements have generated a huge echo on social media, driven by the charisma both actors project on screen and by the growing interest in Eddington , a title that promises to become one of the most talked-about films of the year.

The participation of Pedro Pascal, currently at the height of his popularity thanks to roles in The Last of Us, Gladiator II or the upcoming reboot of Fantastic Four: First Steps , positions the Chilean as one of the most in-demand international actors today.

This isn't the first time castmates have expressed their enthusiasm for working with Pascal. Dakota Johnson , Pascal's co-star in The Materialist , has also shared anecdotes that confirm his magnetism and humor behind the camera. Everything points to Eddington will hit theaters surrounded by media attention and an on-screen chemistry that's already beginning to transcend fiction. It will be released in theaters on September 12 , but The Materialists will arrive first: it premieres on August 14.
