Pedro Pascal Reveals The Funny Reason His Family Doesn’t Watch Movies With Him
Pedro Pascal first burst onto the scene as Oberyn Martell in the iconic series Game of Thrones. His popularity took off from there. From his role as the laconic Din Djarin/The Mandalorian in The Mandalorian to his most recent leading role as Joel in the video game adaptation The Last of Us, Pascal is easily one of the hottest stars in Hollywood. Even though he is thirsted over online by millions of fans, to his family, he’s just another member of the crew. And in a recent interview, Pascal admitted that his family doesn’t like watching movies with him for a very funny reason.
Pedro Pascal is a popular subject on the internet these days
Pascal isn’t new to the entertainment industry. In fact, he’s been acting in film and television for nearly two decades. However, after his big breakout role in Game of Thrones, he discovered a whole new world of possibilities — landing some high-profile roles. Even as he started earning new fans as Din Djarin in The Mandalorian, Pascal was becoming the internet’s new obsession.
These days, Pascal is all over social sites like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, with thousands of fans creating clips and thirsty video essays to his charm and appeal. As the internet’s new “daddy,” he has established himself as not just a talented actor, but a certified pop culture phenomenon as well.
Why did Pedro Pascal say his family won’t watch movies with him?
Pedro Pascal is a huge star, but to his family, he can be annoying from time to time. In a March 9 interview with Sean Evans for an episode of Hot Ones, Pascal dished on why his family doesn’t like watching movies with him. “It’s a terrible thing, in my experience, being such a consumer of movies and television and being…such a little fanboy,” Pascal mused, noting that he loves to share behind-the-scenes information with anyone who will listen — which makes him a terrible movie-watching partner.
“Now, because of the context, my family wants to kill me so much of the time because I’m just like ‘that’s mud all over his body, he’s freezing. Oh my gosh, that’s so cool, that’s a lot of blood.'” Pascal told Evans “I’m so hyper-aware about what the crew and the cast is going through, and everyone wants to kill me. I’m like, ‘those shoes…give blisters.'”

We’re getting into spring? Yes, there is a chance. Yes.” It seems like Pascal’s hot streak is still going strong and will be for quite some time!
