Even though the actress was happy to talk about her age, Pascal admitted he was “not,” prompting the 'American Horror Story' star to share more about where she stands with cosmetic procedures.

“Well, since I don’t shoot anything into my face at this particular juncture, I imagine everyone knows I’m 49,” she joked, according to the outlet.

The duo also touched on Paulson’s latest project, starring in the play 'Appropriate' on Broadway, which is running now through June 23.

Sarah Paulson says her facial expressions caused wrinkles on her face

Paulson added that all the facial expressions she’s making on stage each night are causing her to get wrinkles.

“Sometimes I’m backstage doing this play, ‘Appropriate,’ and I’m thinking, ‘Wow, I’m making these facial expressions multiple times a day all day for months on end. I’ve never had those lines in between my eyebrows,’” she narrated, adding, “Well, I expect when I’m done with this play, they’ll be there permanently.”

Pedro Pascal admits his cameo for 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' saved him financially as he 'had less than $7' in bank

MEAWW previously reported that Pedro Pascal admitted how his stint at the 1999’s ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ saved him from homelessness.

Earlier this month, upon winning the SAG Award, Pascal was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight per Us Weekly, where he reflected on how the role saved him from being destitute in 1999 and saved his career in Hollywood.

'The Last of Us' actor opened up about his financial struggles in the early days of his career as he reminisced how a single life changed his life. Speaking to the news outlet, the 48-year-old shared candidly, “My entry level lasted about 15 years.”

Pascal recalled the financial stress he faced at that time, saying, “We’re talking about being able to see a doctor, getting sick, having surgery, paying my rent.”

“I had less than $7 in my bank account and a residual from Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed up and saved the day and is the reason I was able to stay in [Hollywood] and not give up,” accepted Pascal.

He appeared on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ at the season four premiere as Eddie.
