The internet is a deeply randy place, and harnessing its power means being able to speak fluently to its raunchy denizens.īut this particular cool slutty daddy is also an opportunity to look at what we mean when we say daddy. I have to imagine that Pascal’s daddy mode is in large part the work of a savvy PR team that understands the interminable horniness of the internet. Pascal told Vanity Fair last year that he “was the bigger daddy” than friend and Dune daddy Oscar Isaac and that “daddy is a state of mind.”Īnd just this weekend, Pascal appeared on Saturday Night Live and starred in a sketch (with good friend Sarah Paulson) that was all about the public’s unquenchable thirst for him, and his bewilderment over and ultimate acceptance of his daddy status:

The declaration was a continuation of a daddy determination already in the making. Those words, in that combination, coming from Pascal’s pillowy lips, set his fans ablaze. He said it himself: “ I am your cool slutty daddy,” Pascal announced last month at the red carpet premiere for The Last Of Us. The other part of the Pedro Pascal fame equation is that this is a man who has no problem being the internet’s current It Daddy. Part of that inevitability is his presence on these popular shows, and Pascal himself being a handsome good sport who gives good interview. Previously, Pascal starred in Narcos and wielded hot bisexual chaos as Oberyn Martel in Game of Thrones.Įven if you aren’t watching these shows or know nothing about Pedro Pascal, be prepared because he is coming for you, whether you like it or not. In March, he’ll resume his role as the Mandalorian in The Mandalorian, the Star Wars television spinoff that will probably be the biggest show of its moment when the series revs up its third season. The 47-year-old actor is the lead of HBO’s The Last of Us, the biggest show of the moment. Avoiding him is like evading gravity, unfeasible unless one has access to, say, the moon. At this point, it’s almost impossible to avoid Pedro Pascal.
