Pedro Pascal FINALLY REACTS to people questioning his 'too nice' behaviour; actor proves why he is Mr Fantastic in real life
Pedro Pascal is trending on social media not for his movies but for his "suspiciously" nice behaviour. Netizens have been dropping 'suspicious James Doakes' memes on almost each of his posts on social media, implying that something is wrong with Pedro that they cannot verify yet. But it seems the 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' actor had enough of it, as this time, he decided to respond to such comments. Here's a closer look at it. Pedro Pascal reacts to hate comments On Tuesday, Pedro Pascal shared a post on Instagram to urge fans to go and watch his new film, 'Sand Mama.' And again, his post received hate comments and the 'suspicious GIFs.' This time Pedro replied to a few of them and left kiss emojis. He even replied to one GIF comment and wrote, "C'mere, hug it out." When a user asked him to send a million dollars, the actor responded, "Venmo?" With this, he definitely proved that he is Mr Fantastic in real life and not just in the movie. Now, for the unversed... For the unversed, Detective James Doakes is a fictional character from the web series 'Dexter' who is constantly on the serial killer's trail, suspicious of his daytime charm but unable to pinpoint what is wrong with him. Pedro Pascal's fans react Pedro Pascal's fans defended his "nice behaviour." A person wrote, "All these little boys are mad you're stealing their girls without even trying; keep your head up, kingggg." Another one added, "The funniest part is the people commenting nasty things are literally camped out on your account watching your next move. You're still the star of their show." Reason behind all the hate for Pedro Pascal All this started after people saw the actor's handsy behaviour during the promotions of his film 'Fantastic Four: First Steps.' He was seen touching and sharing hugs with his co-star Vanessa Kirby multiple times. Though the actor had shared that he has anxiety issues, netizens reacted differently. On the other hand, after Pedro shared his thoughts against Harry Potter writer J. K. Rowling for supporting the UK Supreme Court's judgement that stated trans women should not be recognised as women. For those unaware, his sister is a trans woman.

Pedro Pascal Claps Back At Trolls With Hugs, Hearts, And Humor
Last Updated: Pedro Pascal tackles online hate with humor and kindness, using heart emojis and warm messages. Learn about his approach and latest film, Sand Mama. Pedro Pascal, known for his charming personality, has broken his silence on the unexpected online hate he has been receiving for the past few weeks. But instead of treating the situation with anger, he has undertaken a kinder and humorous approach. It all started during the promotions of his latest film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Naysayers started questioning whether the Hollywood star was 'too nice to be real", although they failed to pinpoint anything particular. Additionally, Pedro Pascal's social media posts have been flooded with memes related to characters like Detective James Doakes from the show Dexter, alongside others such as Suspicious Ned Flanders and Philip Fry. All of them have one thing in common — the fact that something was not right about Pedro. Now, the 50-year-old has finally decided to address these assumptions. On Tuesday (August 5), Pedro Pascal shared a post on Instagram, urging fans to watch his new movie, Sand Mama. His side note read, 'Sand Mama premieres TODAY on Film Shortage. Written and directed by my BFF Catherine Loerke and starring Tony Winner Miriam Silverman. Watch it, it's beautiful." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pedro Pascal he/him (@pascalispunk) Needless to mention, hate comments targeted the post too, but this time, Pedro Pascal responded to them with love. Under several suspicious GIFs and memes, the Materialists star replied with heart and kiss emojis. He also added warm messages like 'come here, hug it out." When one critic jokingly asked him for a million dollars, Pedro asked, 'Venmo?" in jest. Pedro Pascal Controversy — From Where It Started Pedro Pascal's online backlash began when he was seen hugging and leaning on his The Fantastic Four: First Steps co-star Vanessa Kirby for comfort in several interviews. Many found their equation to be sweet and backed Pedro, as he had earlier talked about his anxiety and how he finds support in his co-stars. A certain section of the masses, however, started growing suspicious of his 'too nice" gestures, implying that there was something off about the actor. Another theory suggests that Pedro Pascal's strong opinion about JK Rowling was what might have caused the criticism. He once called the Harry Potter author a 'heinous loser" for supporting a UK court ruling stating that trans women shouldn't be considered women legally.

Pedro Pascal is finally responding to those raising suspicion about his ‘too nice to be real' self
Another week, another discourse on the internet's love-hate relationship with Pedro Pascal. Hollywood's busiest actor and latest heartthrob was hit with an unexplained wave of hate over the last two weeks. People bombarded his posts and any posts at all about him with 'suspicious James Doakes' memes, insinuating that there is something wrong about Pedro, something they just can't prove yet. Pedro Pascal taking down one hater at a time with his comments on Instagram. Now, looks like even Pedro has had enough of it. All aboard the Pedro hate-train? People has been posting Detective James Doakes memes on Pedro's posts by the thousands. Det Doakes is a character on the hit thriller series Dexter, who is always on the serial killer's tails, suspicious of his daytime, charming persona but unable to put his finger on what exactly is wrong about him. Suspicious Ned Flanders and Philip Fry also made their way to Pedro's IG posts. On Tuesday, Pedro took to Instagram to share a post about new movie Sand Mama, asking fans to watch it too. 'Sand Mama premieres TODAY on @filmshortage. Written & Directed by my BFF Catherine Loerke @catalonius and starring Tony Winner @miriamsilverman. Watch it, it's beautiful,' he wrote. Fans were excited to have a movie recommendation from their favourite star but the post invited a few haters too with their 'suspicious' GIFs. Actor responds to the GIFs This time, however, Pedro did not ignore them. Under multiple GIF comments of Detective Doakes, Pedro left kiss emojis, heart emojis and even asked one 'C'mere hug it out'. A person asked him for a million dollars and Pedro replied, 'Venmo?' Check out the responses: Pedro Pascal 'ending haters' with kindness. While Pedro kept his responses concise, his fans defended him with long paragraphs. 'Ending the incels one comment at a time, diva behaviour only,' wrote a fan. 'All these little boys mad you're stealing their girls without even trying, keep your head up kingggg,' wrote another person. 'The funniest part is the people commenting nasty things are literally camped out on your account watching your next move. You're still the star of their show,' wrote another. What is behind all the hate? The hate for Pedro began suddenly after the promotional rounds for his latest movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. During the interviews, Pedro and co-star Vanessa Kirby would be found hugging and touching each other for comfort, which many gave a less-than wholesome spin to. Pedro has previously spoken about his anxiety issues and how he often depends on his co-stars to comfort him. But the 'haters' were not buying any of it. A few theories also suggest that the hate began from mostly after Pedro spoke strongly against Harry Potter writer JK Rowling, calling her a 'heinous loser' for supporting U.K. Supreme Court judgment that ruled trans women should not be recognized as women. Pedro's sister is also a transwoman. Regardless, the love for Pedro among his fans is still strong. He is among the busiest actors in Hollywood, who was seen this year in Fantastic Four, The Last of US Season 2, Materialists and Eddington.
