The Mandalorian himself, Pedro Pascal joined Jordan & Perri on KISS Breakfast to chat all about baby Yoda and newly released season 3 of the hit Disney+ TV series.

With the new series now out, Jordan asked: "Does your phone go crazy when it (a new series of The Mandalorian) drops? Like are you ready for all the people tweeting, messaging, posting about how epic The Mandalorian Season 3 is?"

However, despite what you might expect, Pedro admitted in the past he's actually had some calls about some rather bizarre reasons!

Explaining: "It says a lot about my age and what my circle of friends are into. One was my full name showing up on a New York’s Times crossword puzzle.

"It wasn’t the massive success of The Mandalorian or the popularity of Narcos; it was your name was on the crossword puzzle!"

Watch the full interview with Pedro Pascal:

"And then the next one was Saturday Night Live, but not even the doing of, just the announcement period."

The actor then added comedically: "And NOW they’re going to freak out that I’m on KISS Breakfast!" 😂

Pedro plays a bounty hunter called Din Djarin aka The Mandalorian in the Star Wars spin-off, so in The Quiz That Gets Quicker, the prize he was working towards was, of course, a Bounty chocolate bar! And unlike many people he admitted he LOVES the coconut taste.

After a tense quiz, Pedro came out with a fantastic five out of five, winning him a Bounty.
