Lux Pascal, sister of actor Pedro Pascal, clarifies fan rumors about her personal life.
In an Exclusive Interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the Madrid's Platino Awards, Lux Pascal shed light on her famous brother Pedro Pascal's personality beyond the silver screen. Lux, who is known for her role in The Prince, praised Pedro's immense success in shows like The Last of Us and Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
"I'm bloody thrilled!" Lux declared about Pedro's skyrocketing fame. She had always recognized his star potential, even before he became a household name.
Addressing questions from fans about Pedro's authenticity, Lux stated, "It's a laugh, people keep asking, 'Is he as kind as we think he is?' And I say, 'Oi, mate, he's as lovely as a summer's day!'"
Lux's sentiments towards Pedro reflect their close bond and his unwavering support for her. In 2021, when Lux came out as a trans woman, Pedro publicly showed his support, sharing a photo of the cover story on Instagram.
Pedro's advocacy for the LGBT+ community extends beyond his family. He has been a vocal supporter, particularly for transgender rights. At the premiere of Marvel's Thunderbolts in London, Pedro wore a "Protect the Dolls" T-shirt. This campaign, created by designer Conner Ives, aims to combat global anti-trans sentiments and support transgender women.
When author J.K. Rowling recently backed a U.K. ruling that would exclude transgender women from women's spaces, Pedro criticized her stance as "disgusting." Despite the controversy, Pedro continues to use his platform to emphasize the importance of acceptance and visibility for the LGBT+ community.
"Lux Pascal, the actress known for 'The Prince', acknowledged that she had always perceived Pedro Pascal's superstar potential before he rose to fame. In a light-hearted response to fans questioning Pedro's authenticity, Lux asserted that he is as charming as a summer's day. This close bond between the siblings is evident as Pedro publicly supported Lux when she came out as a trans woman in 2021. Beyond family, Pedro Pascal is an advocate for LGBT+ rights, such as being a vocal supporter of transgender rights and wearing a 'Protect the Dolls' T-shirt at a Marvel premiere. Even amidst controversies, like J.K. Rowling's stance on transgender women's exclusion from women's spaces, Pedro continues to use his celebrity status to highlight the need for acceptance within the entertainment industry."
