The SNL alum shared on Theo Von's podcast how ridiculous people are for hating that Pedro Pascal is in so many things after he was a struggling actor for decades.

Until recently, Pedro Pascal was the internet's #1 "daddy." But it seems now some people think he's a bit overexposed—and SNL alum Pete Davidson isn't having it.

During a visit to comedian Theo Von's podcast, Davidson had some choice words for Pascal's new "haters."


Davidson used Pascal as an example of a wider point about fame: The audience blows you up, but the moment you hit it big, they start to tear you down.

Davidson told Von:

“He’s worked so hard, he’s been a struggling actor, blows up so f--ing hard, everyone’s like ‘daddy!’…
"And then a year later he’s like in everything now because he’s big and everyone’s like ‘go the f-- away dude!’”

Pascal is definitely a perfect example of this trend. He toiled away in relative obscurity for nearly 20 years before hitting it big in projects like The Mandalorian and Wonder Woman 1984.

He's "everywhere" now because he earned it, but the internet seems to have decided he's overexposed lately. Never mind that Pascal being "in everything" now is in fact a response to the internet's own obsession with him.

Davidson went on to tell Von how silly he finds this.

“It’s like, what the f--- dude?? You’ve got to give someone time to adjust to that new level of fame…"
"It’s like we build everybody up and now it’s so fast to turn [on them]."

Davidson's comments proved divisive on social media, with many of Pascal's "haters" doubling down.




But others were firmly in agreement with Davidson, saying Pascal has every right to work as much as he can while he's popular.



It's worth noting that the discourse against Pascal, an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ people and a queer icon in his own right (in part because of his own rumored LGBTQ+ identity), seems to be led by straight men with a conservative bent. Surely just a coincidence!

Anyway, if anyone's bothered by Pascal's supposed "overexposure" it doesn't seem to be Pascal himself, who is said to be currently in negotiations to replace Joaquin Phoenix in Todd Haynes' forthcoming gay romantic drama De Noche. Sorry, haters.

It all kicked off when right-wing pundit Matt Walsh posted a thinly veiled criticism of the Trump administration and the GOP likely in preparation to mount his "I told you so..." distancing if the Republicans get hammered in the midterms. Walsh slammed their broken campaign promises about grocery prices and no more wars, claiming that's why progressive candidates are doing well in primaries and polls.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.
