‘Like a rural Scarface’: Hollywood star Kyle MacLachlan’s wild discovery of Pablo Escobar’s secret town

Kyle MacLachlan is bent over, wearing a bright yellow raincoat, as Lana Del Rey plays softly in the background. He lifts his head up in a jerking motion, revealing a pile of white powder on a mirror next to a straw. His nose and upper lip are covered in powdery residue, as he then slips on a pair of black sunglasses before picking up a microphone and walking off.

This is the kind of scene you may have come across if you have been following the award-winning actor on social media of late. Fret not, MacLachlan hasn’t entered his midlife crisis cocaine era (it was corn starch), but instead has been creating a series of silly, slightly surreal videos to promote his new podcast Varnamtown.
