It was supposed to be a standard Vogue promo interview, a lighthearted “Off The Cuff” chat between Materialists co-stars Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal. Instead, it turned into a viral queer fever dream, thanks to a single, sultry word whispered by Pascal: “Big.”

Yes, we’re talking about that moment. Johnson turned to Pascal and casually asked, “Big spoon or little spoon?” Without missing a beat, and with all the velvety confidence of someone who’s broken the internet before, Pascal leaned in, locked eyes with the camera, and whispered, “Big.”

Cue: a collective gay gasp heard across the globe.

The Art of Flirt and Feral Energy

From the jump, the interview is dripping with chaotic chemistry. There’s playful name-calling (“Bitch.” “Bitch.”), confessions of green hummus lies, and an entire tangent where Johnson shares her childhood nickname was cock. (Spelled “Coqui,” but phonetically? You heard it right.) The two zigzag through questions ranging from reality show dreams to “What’s your ideal night out?” spoiler: Pedro’s is a night in.

But it’s the “big spoon” bombshell that launched a thousand tweets.

Big Spoon Pedro: The Fan Reaction

Online, queer fans are losing it, and rightfully so. One viral post on X read, ““big spoon or little spoon?” “…big.” WHY’D HE HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT?!” Another user declared, “PEDRO IS THE BIG SPOON !!! NOBODY TALK TO ME RIGHT NOW.”

TikTok is flooded with edits of the whisper heard ‘round the world, usually paired with dramatic slow-motion and orchestral swells. The vibe? Horny with a side of reverence.

Pedro Pascal has long been hailed as the internet’s daddy, zaddy, and everything in between, but this moment? This was sacred. It was feral-core. And queer fans have claimed it like a rainbow at the end of a very sexy storm.

‘Materialists’ Hits Theaters June 13

The press tour antics are all in support of Materialists, the upcoming film set to hit theaters June 13. If the onscreen chemistry is even half as unhinged and delightful as this interview, we’re in for a cinematic treat.

Until then, we’ll be watching the “Big Spoon” clip on loop. For science. For culture. For the gays.
