In the past couple of years, actor Pedro Pascal has experienced a rapid rise to fame, becoming a fan favorite with the internet even dubbing him "daddy." However, this newfound popularity has also led to a backlash, with critics now complaining that Pascal is appearing in too many projects.
Comedian Pete Davidson, who has also navigated the ups and downs of fame, has spoken out in defense of Pascal. On a recent podcast, Davidson explained that Pascal has been working in the industry for three decades, and is still learning how to handle the everyday realities of being a famous actor, such as fans approaching him in public.
Davidson argued that people need to give Pascal time to settle into the spotlight instead of rushing to criticize him. He also pointed out that this cycle of building up and then turning on actors is common in Hollywood, citing Walton Goggins as a potential future target.
Despite the criticism, Pascal continues to headline major projects, recently appearing in the trailer for "The Mandalorian" and "Grogu" alongside Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White. He has also joined the cast of Marvel's "Fantastic Four: The First Steps" and is set to appear in "Avengers: Doomsday" next year.
