Following his mother’s death, which shattered him, Pedro lost his agent and his career slowed down. As a tribute to his mom, he decided to change his last name to hers. But there was another reason for the name change as well. “Americans had a hard time pronouncing Balmaceda. It was exhausting.” He also considered changing Pedro to Alexander (after Fanny and Alexander, one of his favorite movies) for similar reasons. “I was willing to do absolutely anything to work more.” When directors read Pedro’s name they expected the appearance of a racial stereotype, something like Pancho Villa. But the man they saw looked more European than Latino. “Why are you so white but your name is Pedro?” he was asked. The answer, he told EL PAÍS in a 2017 interview, lies in his roots: “My grandfather was Basque and my grandmother [was] from Mallorca, [Spain].”
His friendships with others in the industry have fed his success. Director Patty Jenkins, with whom he had worked on an abortive project early in his career, offered him the role of the pathetic egomaniac Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984. Later, Jon Favreau cast him as the silent bounty hunter Din Djarin in The Mandalorian. He will soon co-star in Pedro Almodóvar’s long-awaited film Strange Way of Life.

The show’s numbers are going toe to toe with those of series like Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, which is saying a lot. The Last of Us has also confirmed the global male star status of Pedro Pascal, a 47-year-old actor who was completely unknown 10 years ago. Earlier this month, Jimmy Fallon summed up all of the success the actor has had the over the last decade: “ The Last of Us is the biggest thing in the world right now. But then you also have the premiere of the third season of The Mandalorian in March.” And went on with the list: “ Game of Thrones, homerun. Narcos, homerun. The Mandalorian, homerun and now The Last of Us. Come on, man, I’m jealous!” Pascal, who seemed to be in disbelief of his accomplishments, joked in retort: “And that’s the end.” To which Fallon replied, “No way, it’s just the beginning.” He’s not the only one praising the Chilean actor: Robert Rodriquez, who directed him in the Netflix film We Can Be Heroes, said said that Pascal reminds him of Harrison Ford: “He can be funny, he can be very intense, he can be very heroic. But he’s also very human and warm.” The next day he woke up anxious. “The first thing that occurred to me was like, ‘Oh man, I really want that job.’ …I’m going to wait by the phone all day long,’” until he looked at his cell phone and saw dozens of congratulatory messages. He had gotten the role but was unable to remember the conversation in which he had accepted it. It seemed like part of a dream. Perhaps that of a child in exile, watching HBO in his room. At the time, I had ADHD and I was just watching him in a lot of stuff and I thought actually he's got an incredibly interesting face," she said.

On the road to fame he couldn’t have imagined for himself, he forged a lasting friendship with Oscar Isaac. In fact, they’ve had similar paths to success: from difficult beginnings and contending with stereotypes to acting in million-dollar franchises and receiving critical acclaim. But another friend, actress Sarah Paulson, whom he had met in the early 1990s when they were both studying at New York University, gave him access to the role that changed everything. A very young Pedro Pascal, without his trademark mustache, at a party with actress Jennifer Ehle in New York in 2006. Bruce Glikas (FilmMagic)There is to be no postcoital glow: Jake instantly regrets succumbing to his desires, because apart from everything else, he is on the trail of Silva’s son (George Steane), whom he suspects of murder. He is not to be dissuaded from bringing this supposed felon to justice and it is to lead to a violent standoff and a singular vision of that domestic bliss which is their destiny. There will be a showdown between them, but really the story is very intimate,” Almodóvar told IndieWire of Hawke and Pascal’s characters last June. “Masculinity is one of the subjects of the movie.” This cookie is set by the provider The Guardian.
