Pedro Pascal is known for playing emotionally complex characters on screen, but his most heartfelt role may be that of a supportive older brother. When Lux Pascal, his sister, came out as a transgender woman, Pascal’s reaction was simple, and full of love, he wrote in a post to Instagram, proudly sharing her magazine cover debut in Revista Ya: “Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux”

Lux Pascal publicly came out as trans after previously identifying as non-binary. She is currently studying acting at Juilliard in New York and has appeared in Chilean productions like Los 80, La Jauría, and Juana Brava, as well as alongside Pedro in Narcos.

In the Revista Ya interview, Lux shared that transitioning brought her a sense of clarity. And she credited her brother as a key emotional anchor throughout her journey. She revealed (via USA Today),

Directed by Agustina Macri and starring Pascal and Paco León, the Spanish-Argentine co-production tells the inspiring true story of Carla Antonella Rodríguez, the first female miner in a region where mining work was traditionally reserved for men.

Looking to her potential Hollywood future, the Juilliard-trained actor is eager to join her brother in the MCU as X-Men member, Jean Grey.

Lux Pascal is stepping into the spotlight in a big way. The actress, who trained at Juilliard and is also known as Pedro Pascal’s sister, is taking on her first lead film role, and she’s got even bigger dreams ahead.

She stars in Miss Carbón, a movie based on a true story, which just hit theaters in Spain and will be coming to Netflix in the U.S. later this year.

Actor Pedro Pascal has been a vocal supporter of transgender rights, directly conflicting with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling's views.

Pascal shared an in Instagram comment regarding Rowling's behavior:, "Awful disgusting S**T is exactly right. Heinous Loser behavior." The actor explained toVanity Fair, via Bleeding Cool News, why he'd done it. "Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f**king sick," he said.

Rowling generally responds to criticism against her with posts on X. She posted a headline from Gayety which read, "Pedro Pascal Shut Down Rowling, Defends Trans Rights, and Reflects on Fame at 50". She then wrote, "Can't say I feel very shut down, but keep at it, Pedro. God loves a trier."

Lux Pascal is many things: a Juilliard-trained actress, the sister of Pedro Pascal (aka Hollywood’s busiest actor), a proud member of the LGBTQ community — and a trans woman now stepping into her first leading film role.

Miss Carbón, will debut domestically on Netflix later this year after hitting theaters in Spain this month. In the film, set in 2008 and based on a true story, Pascal stars as Carlita Rodríguez, a trans woman who became the first female coal miner in her hometown of Río Turbio, Argentina. Pascal, 33, was offered the role just as she was finishing Juilliard, but initially hesitated — uncertain about a project centered around a transition journey.

“I was a little bit afraid of it because I really wanted to expand my possibilities as an actress,” says Pascal, who had already played a wide range of female characters during her training. But after spending time with the...

Pedro Pascal, the internet’s favorite heartthrob has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind, but his recent comments about J.K. Rowling is taking the internet by storm!

Back in April, when the Harry Potter author celebrated a U.K. Supreme Court ruling that legally excludes trans identities, Pascal pushed back, calling her behavior out in no uncertain terms. And believe it or not, the backlash came soon after, but for Pascal, the stakes were personal. And he is not backing down! After calling the author a “loser”, he is now calling her a “bully”. Here is what happened!

Pedro Pascal said what needed to be said!

There’s a difference between playing a hero and being one, and Pedro Pascal knows it. When he decided to speak out against J.K. Rowling‘s celebration of a U.K. court ruling that erased legal recognition for trans people,...

Pedro Pascal is doubling down on the criticism he lodged against Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.

In April, the 59-year-old author celebrated an anti-trans UK Supreme Court ruling. In response, the 50-year-old Last of Us star commented on a video criticizing her celebration calling it “heinous loser behavior.”

In an interview published by Vanity Fair on Tuesday (June 24), Pedro has doubled down on his comment.

Keep reading to find out more…

In the interview, Pedro revealed that he was only concerned about whether or not calling out the author would really help the situation. The actor explained that his motivation to call her out came from wanting to protect his sister, Lux Pascal.

Pedro said, “The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, ‘Am I helping? Am I f—ing helping?’ It’s a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen,...

A couple months ago, the U.K. Supreme Court issued a ruling stating, essentially, that transgender women are not legally considered women and transgender men are not legally considered men. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has crusaded against the rights of trans people for years, celebrated on X with a picture of herself smoking and drinking. "I love it when a plan comes together."

People had a lot to say about that. Actor Pedro Pascal, who's sister Lux is a trans woman, had one of the most memeable reactions when he called Rowling's tweet an example of "heinous loser behavior." Obviously that went viral, which led to a whole new round of reactions. Speaking to Vanity Fair, he talked through his feelings, saying he briefly felt like “that kid that got sent to the principal’s office a lot for behavioral issues in public schools feeling scared and thinking,...

The general consensus is that Pedro Pascal wasn’t in the wrong for referring to J.K. Rowling’s relentless spewing of anti-trans rhetoric as “heinous loser behavior” earlier this year. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, his own sister Javiera Balmaceda backed his stance, saying, “But it is heinous loser behavior. And he said that as the older brother to someone, saying that our little sister doesn’t exist.” Pascal, whose sister Lux Pascal came out as trans in 2021, told the magazine that his drive to defend goes deeper than just family.

Pedro Pascal said in a new Vanity Fair cover story that “bullies make me fucking sick” when the topic of J.K. Rowling was brought up. The “Harry Potter” author has regularly courted controversy since 2020 for sharing anti-trans views on social media. Pascal’s younger sister, Lux, came out as transgender in 2021. The actor made headlines in late April for slamming Rowling’s “heinous loser behavior” after she celebrated the U.K. Supreme Court’s anti-trans ruling that transgender women are not legally considered women and transgender men are not legally considered men.

Pascal’s other sister, Javiera, defended her brother’s comment, telling Vanity Fair: “But it is heinous loser behavior. And he said that as the older brother to someone saying that our little sister doesn’t exist.”

As the comment went viral across social media, Pascal said he briefly felt like “that kid that got sent to the...

Pedro Pascal Height & 9 Other “Little Secrets” Fans Didn’t See Coming! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Pedro Pascal is currently ruling the theatres with his film Materialists. But do you know how tall he is? Here are some interesting and unknown facts about him.

Pedro Pascal has quite quickly won hearts with his charm, acting skills and has become one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors. His latest movie, Materialists, starring alongside Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, has sparked conversations online. Dakota in a triangle love story with Chris and Pedro – not many had imagined. But they have done it and now it’s minting money at the box office. Before breaking the internet with the movie Materialists, he was seen in big projects like Mandalorian, Game of Thrones, The Last of Us, and more.

Nico Parker, the daughter of Thandiwe Newton, starred in The Last of Us before moving on to play Astrid in the How To Train Your Dragon live-action remake. But she's not likely to watch Season 2 of the show.

In the very first episode, Parker played Sarah, the daughter of Pedro Pascal's Joel Miller. She was an adorable teen who met a tragic end, shot by a soldier who thought she was infected. Her death was painful to watch, but it pales in comparison to another death on the show. In Season 2, Joel is murdered by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and, as Parker told Seth Meyers on Late Night recently, she just can't handle watching her onscreen dad die horribly.

“I haven’t watched the second season because the idea of seeing him die is so deeply distressing,” Parker said, before naming the stars who lead the show after Pascal's exit.

Actors Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey play Ellie Williams and Joel Miller, father and (metaphorical) daughter in HBO's The Last of Us, and they're very close in real life too. One aspect of their off-screen relationship is Pascal's support of Ramsey's non-binary identity and ongoing support of Lgbtqia+ as a whole.

Ramsey spoke to Them about their connection to The Last Of Us and their experience as a Lgbtqia+ person. HBO'sThe Last of Us is a pro-lgbt+ show. Ramsey's character, Ellie, is gay, there are other gay or bisexual characters with their own stories to tell. Those who have played The Last of Us video games know that a transgender character is coming in season three. Ellie being a canonically queer character was a big reason why Ramsey was attracted to the project to begin with.

“I’d seen an article about Dina and Ellie's kiss in the...

People can't get enough of the close bond between megastar Pedro Pascal and his actress sister Lux Pascal. But the pair love each other so much that Lux finds it genuinely (and unsurprisingly) difficult whenever her brother dies on screen. And unfortunately he has quite the reputation for doing that.

Recently Pascal achieved the jewel in the crown of his onscreen deaths: his much-talked-about murder in The Last of Us. While players of the original Last of Us game knew that Joel Miller wasn't long for this world, show-only viewers were shocked and devastated when Joel was beaten to death and stabbed with a broken golf club by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) right in front of his surrogate daughter Ellie (Bella Ramsey). It was so hard to watch, and of course Lux found it even harder.

"I have to say that being Pedro Pascal's sister, I knew how that episode would end.

Emma Stone is hitting the red carpet at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of her new movie!

The 36-year-old two-time Oscar winner looked gorgeous in a white dress as she arrived at the premiere of Eddington on Friday (May 16) held at Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France.

Some of the most striking textures on the Thunderbolts* score came from an unconventional source: The wood planks of a discarded shipping pallet. An unusual stylistic choice for some composers, this is not unusual for the score’s Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated composers Son Lux whom the film’s director Jake Schreier tapped to craft a distinctive, experimental sound that would match the film’s antiheroic spirit.

Son Lux’s Ian Chang was on his way to toss the wood planks when he knocked on them and realized that when struck, they sounded “dope.” He brought the planks to the studio where they became the foundation for some of the score’s driving rhythms—an ideal response to a question Schreier had posed early in the process: “What does it sound like to be propulsive and yet small?”

“Discarded treasures,” Son Lux’s Ryan Lott says of the wood planks,...

This article has spoilers for the Tales of the Jedi short “Choices.”

In the Tales of the Jedi short “Choices,” Dooku teams up with Mace Windu to retrieve the body of a fallen Jedi. As they arrive on Raxus, Dooku can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. It leads them to investigate and uncover a much larger plot.

Raxus, or to use its full name Raxus Secundus, is actually one of the most important locations in the Prequel Era. Two years prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars and after he has left the Jedi Order to become a Sith Lord, Dooku makes a declaration against the corruption of the Republic. This corruption is something we get to see him witness in Tales of the Jedi which was one of his drives to leave the Order in the first place. After that speech, planets within the galaxy...

With Thunderbolts, Marvel is on the comeback.

The new movie from Jake Schreier (Beef) has garnered some of the best reviews for a Marvel movie since Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, signaling a modest return to form for the Marvel Cinematic Universe after recent misfires like Captan America: Brave New World, The Marvels, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

The expectation is that Thunderbolts, with its cast led by Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Sebastian Stan, will dominate the box office this weekend, and — at the very least — reinvigorate the MCU fanbase before The Fantastic Four: First Steps kick starts a new Marvel franchise in July. However, as with any Marvel movie, there’s also the potential for Thunderbolts to factor into next year’s Oscars race. While the movie is unlikely to garner recognition for its above-the-line contributors, it could find itself competitive in several craft categories — especially if...

“But the thing is that I’ve always known that he is a superstar,” Lux continued. “It’s funny because people have been asking me, ‘Is he as kind as we think he is?’ And I’m like, ‘Yes!’”

Pedro, who has been an outspoken advocate for the Lgbtqia+ community, just recently ripped in “heinous” Jk Rowling for celebrating the U.K. Supreme Court’s ruling that transgender women should not be recognized as women under Britain’s Equality Act.

Lux Pascal couldn’t be more proud of her older brother, Hollywood A-lister, Pedro Pascal. The actress, who has credits including the Chilean dramas Veinteañero a los 40 and Juana Brava, opened up about how wonderful she thinks her sibling is and that, yes, he is as nice as he seems.

The younger Pascal told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet at Madrid’s Platino Awards on April 27 that she’s “Incredibly proud” of her older brother. Pedro Pascal has skyrocketed to fame over the past few years with roles in The Mandalorian, Game of Thrones, The Last of Us, and the upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Pedro Pascal is having a blockbuster year, and it’s only just heating up. The beloved actor, known for bringing heart and grit in everything he does, is back as Joel Miller in the second season of The Last of Us, a show that already has fans in an emotional chokehold. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s about to stretch into a whole new universe—literally.

Pascal is all set to play Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic, in Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, which will be dropping later this year. But even with all the Hollywood buzz around him, Pascal’s latest red carpet look had a different kind of impact on everyone.

At the London premiere of Marvel’s Thunderbolts, all eyes were naturally on the star-studded arrivals. But Pedro Pascal’s simple white T-shirt made the loudest statement of the night. It boldly read: Protect The Dolls.

Jk Rowling is known for writing one of the greatest book series of all time, Harry Potter. But apart from that, the author is also known for her anti-trans views and for being critical of their rights, often leading to severe backlash and criticism from her peers and fans.

Even several Harry Potter stars have joined in to criticize her over her views, distancing themselves from her. Recently, The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal jumped on the bandwagon and went on to call her a heinous loser.

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom recently passed a landmark judgment related to trans women and their rights. According to the ruling, trans women will no longer be recognized as women, and the word ‘sex’ would legally imply biological sex (see CNN).

Jk Rowling, known for her controversial views on the LGBTQ+ community,...

The internet took notice when Pedro Pascal, the beloved star of The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, called out Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling on the Instagram comment section. Pascal didn’t hold back, branding Rowling’s celebration of a debatable UK Supreme Court ruling as despicable and reflecting a lack of dignity via his comment.

The ruling, which declared that transgender women are not legally recognized as women under Britain’s Equality Act, has sparked heated debate. Rowling’s cigar-smoking, yacht-side public gloating and Pascal’s fiery response have turned this into a cultural flashpoint.

Pedro Pascal is no stranger to speaking up for his beliefs, especially in the transgender community. His younger sister, Lux Pascal, came out as transgender in 2021, and since then, Pedro has been a vocal ally.

The fallout continues from a recent UK Supreme Court decision that ruled trans women were not women. Pedro Pascal, star of The Last of Us, has gotten involved.

The campaign against trans women was financed in part by Jk Rowling, author of the internationally famous Harry Potter series. After the ruling, she posted a picture of herself smoking a cigar and wrote, "I love it when a plan comes together." Now, protests in support of trans women are taking place across the UK.

Outspoken transgender rights supporter and The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal took to Instagram recently to slam Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling for celebrating the U.K. Supreme Court's ruling that transgender women should not be recognized as women under Britain's Equality Act. Pascal's sister, Lux, came out as transgender in 2021, and has regularly appeared on red carpets with her brother, who has shown nothing but support for the Lbgtq+ community over the years.

Rowling took to social media to celebrate the ruling on April 16, posting a photo of herself holding a glass of wine and smoking a cigar. The caption read, "I love it when a plan comes together," which was in reference to her financially backing the campaign group For Women Scotland, which had a big impact on bringing the legal proceedings to court in the first place.

The upcoming episode of “Doctor Who,” titled “Lux,” promises to take viewers on another thrilling adventure with the Doctor. Set in Miami in 1952, this episode follows the Doctor as they continue the quest to help Belinda return home. The Tardis lands in a vibrant city, full of life and excitement, but not everything is as it seems.

As the Doctor and Belinda explore their surroundings, they stumble upon an abandoned cinema. This old building holds a dark and terrifying secret that could change everything.

I’m still trying to go into as many Doctor Who episodes as blind as I can at the moment, knowing the episode title at most, and trying to avoid next time trailers, or reading synopses. I did, however, know that Lux was to feature an animated character, and my head was mildly torn. Was this the money poured into the show since Disney popped along unlocking an idea that’s been bubbling around? Or did the money come first, and the idea second?

45 minutes later, I’m firmly voting for the former.

Doctor Who is back for a new season, and already there are some viewers criticizing the show for being too 'woke' for its inclusive and progressive stories and production. With Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and newcomer Varada Sethu as companion Belinda Chandra, the new season marks the first time that the whole Tardis crew has been comprised of non-white actors.

While the ethnicity of actors shouldn't be an issue, there's always going to be a number of people prepared to complain about anything and everything. Addressing the criticisms, showrunner Russell T. Davies explained that he pays them absolutely no attention.

"Someone always brings up matters of diversity. And there are online warriors accusing us of diversity and wokeness and involving messages and issues," Davies told BBC Radio 2. "And I have no time for this. I don't have a second to bear [it]. Because what you might call diversity,...
