You read one thirst tweet and the internet comes completely unhinged.
Pedro Pascal became all too familiar after a moment with Entertainment Tonight went viral.
Pascal, who has been dubbed the "internet's daddy," read a tweet from a fan referring to him as "my cool, slutty father," to which Pascal awkwardly acknowledged:
"Yep, I am your cool slutty daddy."
\u201cPedro Pascal saying \u201cI\u2019m your cool slutty daddy\u201d WAS NOT ON MY 2023 BINGO CARD \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\u201d— Deaf David (@Deaf David) 1673930715
Everyone wants in on this action now, but The Last of Us star recently refused to read some "dirty" tweets from fans.
While at a Mandalorian season 3 event, the actor was approached by an Access Hollywood reporter who wanted him to read some thirst tweets from fans.
The interviewer revealed:
"I would love if you could read a few thirst tweets that the internet has for you."
"You can read them to camera."
Pascal took off his glasses and glanced over the tweets before laughing and ultimately declining, even after the interviewer asked him to just "pick your favorite."
He politely refused:
"No."
"Dirty!"
You can watch the moment below.
\u201cthis is the worst thing I\u2019ve ever seen\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
While the interviewer was likely disappointed, Pascal's fans rushed to defend him, several noting that while it may be entertaining for viewers and thirst tweeters, it's ultimately uncomfortable and a violation of personal boundaries.
\u201c@baybythebeach they think they\u2019re all just in on some lil joke but it\u2019s so violating\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201c@djarinluck Right bc she didn\u2019t even ask consent to show him this explicit stuff and it feels like sexual harassment. Why is that okay? It wouldn\u2019t be tolerated anywhere else\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201c@mzakpitt96 @djarinluck It\u2019s not about being a prude, it\u2019s objectifying. It\u2019s no different than a woman getting constant questions about their sex appeal in every interview. It\u2019s boring and disrespectful.\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201c@mzakpitt96 @djarinluck He is one classy adult. Then his graciousness, thanks the interviewer and told her she did good.\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201c@mzakpitt96 @djarinluck It's not ok to ambush someone with a request like this live on camera\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201c@mzakpitt96 @djarinluck if i walk up to you with a mic and big camera and start asking you to read tweets of people sexualising you will you be comfortable\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201cI think it\u2019s time for the internet to leave pedro pascal alone. It\u2019s sexual harassment, but no one seems to care bc he\u2019s a man + is graceful about it. It\u2019s really gross and I would never want to be treated like that.\u201d— dominick \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f (@dominick \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f) 1677859552
\u201cthis over sexualization and general weird behavior towards Pedro Pascal is out of control and was my biggest fear with TLOU series coming out, it\u2019s driving me crazy\u201d— stephen (@stephen) 1677736828
\u201cI can't imagine having red carpet access only to make an actor uncomfortable by putting him into a sexual situation he didn't accept like that.\n\nI thirst Pedro like we all do but the way he's been reduced to this instead of you know maybe asking about his work...\u201d— Kate S\u00e1nchez\u2077 \u27a1\ufe0f #SXSW (@Kate S\u00e1nchez\u2077 \u27a1\ufe0f #SXSW) 1677790665
Aside from the inappropriate nature of the request itself, several also pointed out that it was neither the time nor place for such an ask.
\u201c@mzakpitt96 @djarinluck they\u2019re showing an adult man weird sexual tweets from tweens on a Disney red carpet\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201c@mzakpitt96 @djarinluck He\u2019s at a Disney event. He laughed at hearing someone curse behind him in another interview. It\u2019s supposed to be a family friendly environment. It\u2019s inappropriate.\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201c@mzakpitt96 @djarinluck It\u2019s a Disney red carpet event. It\u2019s not the appropriate forum\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
\u201c@djarinluck when will they give it a rest :/ it\u2019s incredibly disrespectful - ESPECIALLY at the Mando launch event.\u201d— lauren | tlou & mando spoilers (@lauren | tlou & mando spoilers) 1677707561
A few even noted that yes, many celebrities participate in segments in which they read thirst tweets on camera—BuzzFeed's Celebs Read Thirst Tweets, for example—but those engaging gave their consent and agreed beforehand.
Pascal, on the other hand, did not.
You can catch Pascal in his daddy roles on Wednesdays in the new season of The Mandalorian on Disney+ and Sundays in The Last of Us on HBO.
