Pedro Pascal has done it again, accidentally dropped a thirst trap and left the entire internet gasping for air. The 50-year-old heartthrob rocked up to the Eddington photocall at the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival and, let us just say, no one was looking at the movie posters.
Decked in an all-black Calvin Klein ensemble, Pascal wore a sleeveless merino wool tunic paired with tailored trousers and studded leather boots. It was the kind of look that whispered ¡°subtle elegance¡± while his biceps screamed ¡°Greek god.¡± Standing next to co-stars Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Austin Butler, Pascal still somehow managed to steal every camera flash, and every Twitter timeline.
Photos and videos of Pedro casually blowing kisses, hugging his castmates, and flexing unintentionally sent fans into a digital spiral. One X user declared, ¡°My new religion is Pedro Pascal¡¯s arms.¡± Another compared the experience to being a Victorian man glimpsing an ankle, yes, the internet has that level of Pascal fever.
While Eddington itself, Ari Aster¡¯s new neo-Western, has sparked mixed reviews, Pedro¡¯s biceps achieved universal acclaim.
It is not just his arms making headlines. In a recent interview with Elle UK, Pascal¡¯s Materialists co-star Dakota Johnson spilled the tea. She revealed that Pedro jokingly told her to start an OnlyFans and ¡°just wiggle her toe for money.¡± The internet did what it does best: overreact.
While Pedro clearly meant it as a cheeky joke, reactions ranged from outrage to complete amusement. Some were not amused, questioning the appropriateness of the comment. Others fired back with ¡°It¡¯s just a joke, chill.¡± The drama? Extra. The quote? Misdirected but harmless. The internet? Divided, as always.
Between a viral sleeveless moment and an accidentally controversial joke, Pedro Pascal has once again proven he is living rent-free in everyone¡¯s minds. With Materialists set to release on 13 June 2025, expect more memes, more moments, and definitely more Pascal arm appreciation threads.
