The actor Chilean Pedro Pascal continues to triumph in the cinema and the platforms of streaming with his series, from where he has won the affection of Internet users with his roles as Oberyn Martell in ‘Game of Thrones’as well as The Mandalorian, in the series ‘The Mandalorian’and the most recent Joel Miller, in “The Last of Us”.
His performances are brilliant and have earned him three awards this year for Best Actor, Best Series and Best On-Screen Duo at the MTV Movie & TV Awards for “The Last of Us”. The artist this week was part of the Round Table of Drama Actors, a show that the media The Hollywood Reporter brings together various artists to talk about various topics.
Pascal was joined by the stars of Jeff Bridges, Michael Imperioli, Evan Peters, Damson Idris and Kieran Culkin, who weighed in on some curiosities they had experienced with their audience. A rather funny anecdote lived the South American actor.

“I remember, before, for ‘Game of Thrones’ and the way my character died (his eyes were gouged out with fingers) (…) people were very interested in taking selfies with his thumbs in my eyes,” he recounted and then narrowed down that he was very excited. She knew that her character was having a lot of success.
But all that idyll for the peculiar request ended when he had a mishap: “I remember having a small infection in my eye.”
A great father on screen, a great uncle in real life
The 48-year-old actor currently has no partner, but on several occasions he has been linked to actresses such as Maria Dizzia and Sarah Paulson, with whom he still maintains a great friendship. During ‘Games of Thrones’ it was rumored that he was in a relationship with Lena Headey and eight years ago he was seen on many occasions with Robin Tunney,
But not only does he not have an official girlfriend, he also has no children and this is something that he does not care about. He’s been a great father, but on screen as he’s played The Mandalorian, who guides his son Grogu, and most recently was the father figure to Ellie in ‘The last of us‘. Due to his spectacular performance, he earned the nickname “Daddy”.
Therefore, when asked about this nickname, he expressed: “I’m having fun with it. (The dad thing) seems a bit related to the role. There was a period where the Mandalorian is very cool to Grogu and Joel is very cool to Ellie. These are dad roles, that’s what it is.”
However, he was emphatic: “I’m not a dad, and I’m not going to be a dad!” Pedro has two adolescent nephews, whom he adores and pampers as if they were his children, but he does not want to carry that responsibility of his own for the rest of his life.
Joining a life without children earned him a lot of applause on social networks: “It is not necessary to be a father or a mother if you do not want to, fatherhood and motherhood are personal decisions”, “Can it be more perfect?”, “It is already the adoptive father of all chile, leave the man alone”, “We are in other times, each one chooses if he wants to procreate” and “Having children is not the only function of a man or a woman”, his compatriots and followers supported him.
