Pedro Pascal Loves Playing a Dad
It would be shocking to know that this 47-year-old doesn’t actually have children in real life. He may be the best on-screen father, but he’s not even in a public relationship with anyone. Speaking about his fatherly roles, Pascal told The Hollywood Reporter:
“I don’t have kids. I’ve only learned through these characters how painfully vulnerable one becomes and how much your life depends on their life being OK,” he added. “It’s a fun fantasy to fulfill, and I’ll play as many dads as I can get.”
While The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent star has an expansive list of acting credits under his belt, one thing that everyone loves about him (and will forever be) is a certain type of character he loves to play: dad.
