Vanity Fair said it best when they ran a brilliant cover story on Pedro Pascal last month.
Now, Aussies can have their chance at a piece of Pedro with the beloved actor arriving in Sydney, Australia for the launch event of Marvel's new offering Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Pascal, 50, was spotted enjoying a stroll in Bondi on Sunday ahead of his appearance on the red carpet at the Entertainment Quarter this Tuesday.
The Mandalorian star rugged up for the winter chill, embarking on the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk in a smart beige jacket, white pants and trendy glasses.
Joined by his longtime friend Coco Ullrich, the Game of Thrones star embarked on the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk shortly after arriving from the UK.
His Fantastic Four cast mates were also in tow, including Vanessa Kirby, her husband Paul Rabil, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
The first film in Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fantastic Four: First Steps finally introduces fans to comic heroes Mister Fantastic (Pascal), Invisible Woman (Kirby), Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and The Thing (Moss-Bachrach).
Pascal's arrival down under comes as the actor enjoys somewhat of a late career frenzy, hooked on starring roles in hit shows like The Last of Us and The Mandalorian.
But it's his 'rizz' (that's Gen Z slang for charisma) that has granted Pascal his cultural status, similar to that of notorious Hollywood nice guy Keanu Reeves.
Most notably, Pascal has shown an unwavering support of minority communities, often sharing his progressive values online.
Swinging in to support his beloved younger sister Lux, who came out as a transgender woman in 2021, Pascal shared this viral post in February: 'I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorising the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.'
He also took aim at J.K. Rowling amid her ongoing stance against the transgender community, after the Harry Potter author gleefully reacted to a U.K. court decision that did not recognise transgender women as women.
Pascal dubbed her celebrations 'heinous LOSER behaviour.'
Speaking to Vanity Fair in his June cover story, Pascal said of the situation, 'The one thing that I would say I agonised over a little bit was just, 'Am I helping? Am I f**king helping?'
'It's a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected. Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that.
'Bullies make me f**king sick.'
