Daddy? Sorry: Pedro Pascal Is Crowned Daddy Of The Daddies On The Internet
It’s official, folks: Pedro Pascal has responded to comments on the internet—and not just any comments, mind you; it’s the ones where he’s been crowned “daddy of the daddies”.
He tweeted, “I call Pedro Pascal a DILF and think he’s my cool, slutty father.”
The man of the moment, who has had a stunning year as Joel in HBO’s The Last of Us, as the hot bisexual Oberyn Martel in Games of Thrones, and Din Djarin in The Mandalorian, has a new interview question to deal with.
On Good Morning Britain, a reporter asked the 47-year-old actor, “What’s it like being dubbed “Daddy” on the internet?” This may seem out of place, but his character in The Last of Us does have some sort of paternal undertone. His relationship with Bella Ramsay, the actress who played the leading role of Ellie in the popular HBO series, has paternal streaks, which may have sparked his fans to make that connection.
To this, the “daddy of daddies” replied that he’s the daddy of the internet, but he has no kids, so he doesn’t “know what they’re talking about.”
Fans disagreed and quickly jumped on Twitter to share their two cents.
For anyone who’s seen the video, it is obvious that this man—who has a voice that could make a person weak in the knees—does, in fact, know why he’s called daddy. He’s also been enjoying all the attention he’s been getting lately.
And make no mistake, the audience has receipts.
Fans claim that Pascal “is such a bad liar” and point out the numerous times the actor has used the term “daddy” in interviews for reference.
For example, when internet users began calling the actor “daddy”, he acknowledged it, saying to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, “I’m your cool, slutty daddy”. He also gives a little smirk at the end, to which Twitter user Marie says he “knows exactly what we are talking about”.
And it seems that they were right.
Appearing on the Graham Norton Show on the 24th, the Chilean-American actor opened up about his new status when asked if he was “enjoying all the sudden attention”. Let’s not forget the interview that supposedly started it all, where Pascal said, “Daddy is a state of mind, you know what I’m saying? I’m your daddy.”
Fans continue to swoon over the actor—who radiates pure charisma and is the picture of dadcore—with one saying, “He loves to be Daddy. And we love the fact that he really loves it”.
Let’s not forget that for a hot moment, many believed that Pascal was called Daddy because he and Bella Ramsay have the same age difference as Leonardo’s current flavor of the month, which kind of drove the point home.
If you want to see exactly why he’s been the object of the internet’s insatiable thirst and has been given the lumbersexual title, catch Pascal in The Last of Us, which airs exclusively on HBO Max at 9 p.m. E.T. every Sunday.
