Pedro Pascal Tops 2025 Google Searches

Pedro Pascal has claimed the top spot as the most trending actor on Google searches for 2025, a remarkable achievement that placed him above many of Hollywood's most established stars. Notably, the data reveals that seasoned actors such as Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt did not even rank within the top ten trending personalities online this year.

This surge in online interest for Pascal is attributed to his continued momentum following his role in the 2024 epic "Gladiator II." His presence in four major projects throughout 2025 significantly contributed to his leading position in Google's "Year in Search" for the United States. The data specifically captures trending searches from January 1 to November 25, 2025, distinguishing it from overall search volume.

Beyond individual actors, Google's 2025 trends also highlighted "KPop Demon Hunters" as the number one trending movie, followed by "Sinners" and "The Minecraft Movie." In television, "The Hunting Wives" led the trending shows, with "The White Lotus" and "The Pitt" securing the subsequent positions, indicating a diverse landscape of popular entertainment.
