Manu Ríos says it got “pretty hot” working with Pedro Pascal on that gay western & now we’re overheating
A Strange Way of Life has reached the point were the gays are about to spontaneously combust.Directed by Oscar-winning Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, the Brokeback Mountain-esque short features Pascal, 48, and Ethan Hawke, 52, playing an outlaw and a sheriff who reunite after 25 years apart.
