Let’s settle this once and for all: Is Pedro Pascal hot, or is he just Hollywood-hyped? Whether you know him as the helmeted bounty hunter, Din Djarin, in The Mandalorian or the emotionally tortured survivor, Joel Miller, in The Last of Us, there’s no denying that Pedro Pascal has become one of the most talked-about men in entertainment—and yes, fashion too. But do you find him hot?

Pascal—born in Chile and raised in the U.S.—has been working steadily in film and TV for years. His big break came in 2014 as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones—a Prince who oozed confidence, danger, and sex appeal. From there, he gained further fame as DEA agent Javier Peña in Netflix’s Narcos and as the charming but shady Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984. He also played the role of Javi Gutierrez in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022).

In recent years, he’s reached full-blown leading man status. In HBO’s The Last of Us, his gritty, complex performance as Joel earned him a Screen Actors Guild Award, plus Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. And don’t forget The Mandalorian, where he plays a soft-spoken bounty hunter hiding behind a mask—and still manages to melt fans across the galaxy.

His star keeps rising. Pascal recently appeared in Gladiator II; he’s also set to appear in Ari Aster’s mysterious contemporary Western Eddington, and the highly anticipated Star Wars film The Mandalorian and Grogu. He’s also starring in The Fantastic Four: First Steps as Reed Richards and in Materialists, a romantic comedy directed by Past Lives filmmaker Celine Song. So yeah—he’s busy, and Hollywood can’t get enough of him.

But being hot isn’t just about acting chops and looks. Pedro’s fashion game has been turning heads, too. At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, he showed up in a sleeveless Calvin Klein tunic that sent the internet into a frenzy. It was part of a larger “fashion daddy” red carpet trend, and Pascal wore it like a man born to break necks and gender norms.

Enter: the Zaddy discourse. Yes, the internet has officially dubbed Pedro Pascal a Zaddy—a title reserved for mature men who exude confidence, sex appeal, and effortless style. With his signature mustache, sleepy eyes, and calm, gravelly voice, Pascal checks all the boxes. And he’s been embracing it, often playfully referring to his own “daddy” status in interviews and social media.

Styled by Julie Ragolia, he’s rocked looks from Prada, Bottega Veneta, and Gucci, leaning into bold textures and rich color palettes that reflect both his Chilean heritage and personal flair. Whether he’s flashing his forearms or smirking on a red carpet, Pascal isn’t just wearing clothes—he’s wearing confidence.

But Pedro Pascal isn’t just lighting up screens—he’s also using his fame to support real-world causes. In 2025, he made headlines for wearing a “Protect the Dolls” T-shirt—designed by Conner Ives—on the red carpet, with proceeds going to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit supporting trans people in crisis. The campaign has raised tens of thousands of dollars so far. Pascal has also publicly supported immigrant rights, referencing his own Chilean refugee roots, and has encouraged donations to humanitarian groups like Doctors Without Borders. Clearly, a Zaddy with a heart.
