Pedro Pascal Overexposed? Pete Davidson Slams Critics! You Won't Believe Why!
Pete Davidson is standing up for Pedro Pascal amidst recent criticisms of the actor's ubiquitous presence in Hollywood. During an appearance on Theo Von's "This Past Weekend" podcast, Davidson passionately defended Pascal, highlighting the entertainment industry's tendency to quickly turn on stars they once celebrated.
From 'Daddy' to 'Go Away': Davidson Calls Out Hypocrisy
Davidson pointed out the rapid shift in public perception of Pascal. He recounted how, just a couple of years ago, Pascal was lauded as a hardworking, struggling actor. Following his breakthrough roles in shows like "The Mandalorian" and "The Last of Us," he became a fan favorite, even earning the title of "Daddy" from admirers. However, with Pascal now appearing in numerous high-profile projects, some have accused him of being "overexposed."
"Fucking two years ago he’s a hardworking, great actor," Davidson said. "Everyone was like, ‘He’s worked so hard and has been a struggling actor.’ Fucking blows up so fucking hard. Everyone’s like, ‘Daddy, daddy! Yeah, daddy, daddy.’ Then a year later, he’s in everything now because he’s hot and big and everyone’s like, ‘Go the fuck away, dude.'”
Pascal's Busy Schedule
Indeed, Pascal's recent projects include the second season of HBO’s "The Last of Us" and upcoming films such as "Gladiator II," "Eddington," "Materialists," and "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." This heavy workload has led to some viewers expressing fatigue, but Davidson argues that Pascal deserves the opportunity to capitalize on his success after years of hard work.
Davidson emphasized the need for understanding and patience, stating that actors need time to adjust to newfound fame. He criticized the industry's tendency to build up stars only to tear them down just as quickly, a sentiment that resonates with broader discussions about online culture and the pressures faced by celebrities.
It remains to be seen how Pascal will navigate his continued rise to stardom, but Davidson's support serves as a reminder of the human element behind the celebrity persona and the importance of allowing actors the space to grow and evolve.
