It’s easy to see why Pedro Pascal was crowned as the internet’s new “unproblematic fave.” He is, as you would expect for a Hollywood actor, decently good-looking. He’s been in Game of Thrones, took the lead in Star Wars spin-off Mandalorian, featured in the TV adaptation of The Last of Us, and more recently had a starring role in the latest installment of Marvel’s Fantastic Four. Equally as important for a celebrity nowadays, Pascal has some impeccably woke credentials. He is an advocate of ‘trans rights.’ He’s vocally anti-Trump. He makes all the right noises about Palestine. He embraces a nauseating brand of “non-toxic masculinity,” whereby he talks at length about his men’s mental health—specifically, his anxiety, which he copes with by… getting uncomfortably cosy with his pregnant, taken co-star?
