Daddy is putting his foot down – and no, not on your face.
Pedro Pascal is gaining support and sparking a conversation about double standards after a very painful red carpet moment.
A video of the “Last of Us” star went viral last week when Pascal refused to read aloud “thirsty tweets” or overly sexual comments about him that were written on the internet while on the red carpet of his Disney + show, “The Mandalorian. “
“You’d love to read some of the thirstiest tweets on the Internet,” said an Access reporter asked Pascal, showing him her phone. “You can read them to a camera.”
In response, Pascal looked at the tweets, apparently amused, then looked at the reporter.
Although Pascal was a good sport about his refusal – and yes indulged other outlets with similar requests in the past – fans of the former “Game of Thrones” star praised Pascal for setting a boundary with the media by trying to quash all the chatter about how he’s a “Daddy”.” or a sexy old man.
Pascal also tends to play defensively, good fatherfigures in many of his roles, which only added to the lust of some fans.
the ‘actor reads thirsty tweets’ videos are outlets in a controlled and consenting environment where the actor can reject tweets they are not comfortable with. Can you fucking imagine approaching Margot Robbie the way people approach this? https://t.co/teYwQAdL2b

100% I understand thirst among your friends or on social media, but it’s wild to approach the person directly and tell them they have shit. We would never let a man get away with doing it with a woman, Pedro Pascal is no different. https://t.co/CmiLAsNb7Q

I think pedro pascal is getting the acting treatment when he can’t go to any interview without being sexist
Every interview with pedro pascal involves sexual harassment — whether it’s making him read really offensive tweets sexualizing him or calling him names incessantly. tired and strange antics !!!!!
Can we stop the routine sexual harassment of Pedro Pascal by the women at Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight? It’s getting really pathetic and creepy. https://t.co/tRgLF718Py
I think it’s time for the internet to leave pedro pascal alone. It’s sexual harassment, but no one seems to care bc he’s a man + he’s graceful about it. It’s really heavy and I wouldn’t want to be treated like that. https://t.co/NuNwWuPQMz
All the people mocking Pedro Pascal, do you realize that he was harassed, cat-called, and that you are sexualizing this man who made it clear that he is so uncomfortable with him?
At first, Pascal, who is known for giving great interviews, embraced her status as a sex symbol. When Vanity Fair asked him during a lie detector test in April 2022 if he had ever looked at Instagram accounts “dedicated to being in your heart when you’re feeling down,” Pascal answered enthusiastically: “Yes, I do!”
At this point, the floodgates opened – and Pascal played well for the most part. He even said “I’m your cool, slutty daddy,” to Entertainment Tonight in January.
But it also expressed some confusion. When he appeared on “Saturday Night Live” last month, there was even one sketch poking fun at Pascal’s “Daddy” status, and in it, the actor perfectly expressed his concern in some comments, and indicated that others are becoming inappropriate. .

Sarah Michelle Gellar even referenced Pascal’s “Daddy” moniker when she posted about it last week, captioning a post about the two of them working together on “Buffy” with “When #Mother met #Father.”
Ultimately, Pascal seems to be a good sport about the, uh, harassment, but only to a point.
And maybe this isn’t the time or place to ask Pascal to read tweets about him on the Disney+ red carpet for a show aimed at a younger audience.
