About this listen
Pedro Pascal is once again at the center of both headlines and social media buzz. Over the past week, two major themes have emerged around his public presence—backlash over his omnipresence in Hollywood and a surge of attention after his latest outspoken social activism. The Los Angeles Times highlighted a growing narrative that the tide may be turning on Pedro Pascal's red-hot celebrity; comedian Pete Davidson speculated on Theo Von’s podcast that public adoration for Pascal has tipped into oversaturation, with memes about "daddy" energy now giving way to calls for him to step back. Actor Walton Goggins responded to this trend on Instagram, acknowledging the pressures of sudden widespread fame and even referencing Pascal directly as a prime example of the phenomenon. Goggins praised Pascal as not just a good man, but a great one, and seemed to embrace the unpredictable nature of public favor as a blessing rather than a curse, drawing the conversation further into the mainstream.
Pascal himself, true to form, has kept his focus on using his platform to advocate for causes he believes in, regardless of possible fan backlash. He posted a strong message on Instagram defending abortion rights on September 24, declaring unequivocally that abortion rights are human rights. This statement drew passionate support and inevitable criticism across social platforms according to Threads, illustrating his willingness to put himself on the line for political issues. Days later, Pascal again attracted headlines for standing up to anti-trans trolls, responding directly to negative comments on his Instagram by calling them "vile and pathetic," reinforcing his ongoing, public support for the LGBTQ community. Such posts generated another wave of polarized discussion among his fan base per AOL, especially given his well-documented support for his transgender sister, Lux Pascal.
On social media, the mix of admiration and fatigue is palpable. While some Threads users expressed even deeper affection, describing him as an exceptional human being, other voices on platforms like AOL and LA Times discussed the “backlash” narrative, including accusations—frequently originating from online trolls—of being overly physical in public appearances or on set, though these remain unsubstantiated and arguably driven by less charitable motives. No major new business ventures or TV or film announcements have surfaced in the last few days; Pedro’s energy remains aimed squarely at advocacy and navigating the realities of highly visible stardom. The combination of his activism and ongoing visibility is continuing to shape both popular and professional perceptions of one of Hollywood’s busiest stars.
