Pedro Pascal, known for his charming personality, has broken his silence on the unexpected online hate he has been receiving for the past few weeks. But instead of treating the situation with anger, he has undertaken
a kinder and humorous approach. It all started during the promotions of his latest film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Naysayers started questioning whether the Hollywood star was “too nice to be real”, although they failed to pinpoint anything particular.
Additionally, Pedro Pascal’s social media posts have been flooded with memes related to characters like Detective James Doakes from the show Dexter, alongside others such as Suspicious Ned Flanders and Philip Fry. All of them have one thing in common — the fact that something was not right about Pedro. Now, the 50-year-old has finally decided to address these assumptions.
Pedro Pascal’s Kind-Hearted Reply To Negative Comments
On Tuesday (August 5), Pedro Pascal shared a post on Instagram, urging fans to watch his new movie, Sand Mama. His side note read, “Sand Mama premieres TODAY on Film Shortage. Written and directed by my BFF Catherine Loerke and starring Tony Winner Miriam Silverman. Watch it, it’s beautiful.”

Needless to mention, hate comments targeted the post too, but this time, Pedro Pascal responded to them with love. Under several suspicious GIFs and memes, the Materialists star replied with heart and kiss emojis. He also added warm messages like “come here, hug it out.” When one critic jokingly asked him for a million dollars, Pedro asked, “Venmo?” in jest.
Pedro Pascal Controversy — From Where It Started
Pedro Pascal’s online backlash began when he was seen hugging and leaning on his The Fantastic Four: First Steps co-star Vanessa Kirby for comfort in several interviews. Many found their equation to be sweet and backed Pedro, as he had earlier talked about his anxiety and how he finds support in his co-stars. A certain section of the masses, however, started growing suspicious of his “too nice” gestures, implying that there was something off about the actor.
Another theory suggests that Pedro Pascal’s strong opinion about JK Rowling was what might have caused the criticism. He once called the Harry Potter author a “heinous loser” for supporting a UK court ruling stating that trans women shouldn’t be considered women legally.
