It's no secret Pedro Pascal is having his moment.
The recent attention is credited mostly to his incredible performances in The Mandalorian and The Last of Us.
While the 47-year-old has been in the game for a while...
... from appearing in an episode of Buffy in 1999 to being fan favorite Oberyn Martell in season 4 of Game of Thrones in 2014.
Pascal had many guest star roles in between, but caught a pretty big break when he starred in Netflix's Narcos, one of his most outstanding roles up to that time.
Then in 2019, Pascal was cast as THE Mandalorian in the Disney+ series by the same name, and his career hasn't been the same since.
In January, Pascal landed the role of Joel in the instantly successful HBO series The Last of Us alongside fellow Game of Thrones actor Bella Ramsey, who portrays Ellie in the series. Joel became a surrogate-type father to Ellie and he protects her through their tumultuous journey across what is left of America.
While the duo's relationship on-screen strengthens as they trek on, it seems that the two also share a special bond off-screen, as well.
In fact, Ramsey opened up to USA Today and revealed that Pascal wrote her a sweet card before the show's premiere.
She shared:
"Pedro wrote a little card to me at the end [of filming], saying, 'How interesting that something so huge and life-changing should happen so early in your life and so late in mine.'"
Ramsey continued:
"I thought it was a really sweet observation and I just had the best time."
The tidbit, which Ramsey shared last October, recently resurfaced via TikTok in a video that has been viewed more than 2 million times now, where it was made evident that it is in fact possible to love Pascal even more.
A TikToker shared a screenshot of the quote in a video set to The Last of Us theme song and captioned:
"I am not emotional, you are. We need to protect Pedro at all costs."
Viewers of the video immediately - and emotionally - gushed over the actor's beautiful words.
