As a former theater kid who still enjoys musical theater... I'm not with him.
Pedro Pascal is inescapable and whenever someone saturates the public space that much, it's never organic. The Game of Thrones/Last of Us actor is everywhere because they want him to become a fixture in contemporary society.
Why Pascal, though?
Because the intelligentsia in the left believe that they've finally cracked the masculinity code and found the man who will finally begin giving American males the necessary permission structure to vote blue. I mean, the man sure hasn't gone out of his way to make his politics remain hidden. Every time he turns around he has some sort of socio-political commentary to make.
As I wrote back in April, he decided to attack J.K. Rowling when the U.K. courts ruled that biological women are women and biological men are men. Rowling celebrated with a post on X of herself smoking a cigar and drinking a cocktail with the copy "I love it when a plan comes together," an A-Team reference. Pascal fired back in the comments of an Instagram post by calling her behavior "disgusting" and "heinous" with a slur in all-caps.

Pascal also shows up to red carpets wearing pro-trans shirts like "Protect the Dolls" and speaks out against the deportations happening under the Trump administration.
Pedro Pascal grandstands on deportations: “I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant.”

He has all the right beliefs, and as such, he's been pushed as our "daddy" now for a few years. No, really, go to X and type in "Pedro Pascal" and "daddy" in the search bar and witness the avalanche yourself.
He’s held the title of “Internet Daddy” since 2023… and it’s safe to say Pedro Pascal still reigns.#PedroPascal #Cannes2025 pic.twitter.com/G8mjhJaLyv

And Pascal loves to repeat this a lot himself, calling himself "your daddy" in several interviews.
My friend Sydney Watson recently released a video on YouTube where she breaks down the leftist media's hyper-fascination with Pascal, and she uses the term "gay best friend adjacent" to describe him, which I think is supremely accurate. Pascal plays masculine characters on screen, but off-screen he's effeminate and doing things with women that would get labeled creepy and offensive were it being done by anyone else.
Pascal will touch women, play with their hair, and take an odd hyper-interest in women's nails in broad daylight, and no one calls him out on it. In fact, the media continues to push him as something of a sex symbol that women should want to be with and men should want to be. He's billed as being just feminine enough to be a man the women can feel comfortable around, but sexy enough that they could also feel a safe element of danger and sexual attraction.
And they're trying to force it so hard. Did you see the Vanity Fair coverage of him? It's very sexually themed... and very awkward.
Pedro Pascal for Vanity Fair.

But again, the left is just making the same mistake they were before when it comes to trying to push a new definition of masculinity. I don't know many normal men who see Pascal and think, "yeah, that's a dude I could feel comfortable having a beer with and just being myself around."
Pascal is play-acting as a masculine figure, but he's telling us outright he's not one, just like Tim Walz was before him, and just like Doug Emhoff was before Walz.
He's made to look brave and confident in interviews in order to trick people into thinking he's just naturally that charismatic and charming, but the fact that he's 100 percent an industry plant shines through constantly. This is just Walz 2.0.
But I'll tell you why I think they're trying so hard to sell Pascal as the new masculinity... it's because he's a proven coward, and the left loves a male coward. He's no threat to them. When they say jump, he puts on a charming smile and asks how high. When they tell him to shut up, he shuts up.
Just like he did when his co-star Gina Carano was under fire for posting something to her Instagram that encouraged us to treat each other as people, using Nazi Germany as an example. When Disney attempted to smear Carano, Pascal stood back and said nothing, when all the while he had a post up comparing Trump's "kid's in cages" to Nazi death camps.
Pascal is everything the left wishes men were, but that's not who we are.
I have a feeling that soon, Pascal's welcome will be worn out, and the left will move on from him. They won't learn the lesson, however. They'll just find a new Walz.
