While you grew up around acting, with your mom, Thandiwe Newton, and her wonderful career, do you still get starstruck? Your dad in this series is Pedro Pascal, and he also happens to be playing this character known as the Mandalorian.

Yeah, he is wonderful. The first time we spoke was on Zoom, and I remember being [like], “Oh my god.” Then I joined [the call], and within five minutes, I was like, “Oh, this is Pedro.” Immediately, he’s so good at making people feel comfortable, [so] that element of [being starstruck] wore off quite quickly. But I get starstruck all the time. I’m pinching myself constantly.

Did you try to trick him into dropping any spoilers for “The Mandalorian”?

I actually didn’t because I think he probably would’ve if I really pushed for it! But no, I didn’t try. But I feel like I should’ve. I mean, not really!
