Pedro Pascal Praised For Flying Economy To Cannes
Pedro Pascal went viral more than once at Cannes this year — most recently for describing himself as a 'lazy 50-year-old bougie bitch.' Iconic!
Now, Pedro has garnered attention once more after it was revealed that the star had flown economy to the French film festival, where his upcoming western Eddington premiered.
USA Today published a video of Pedro boarding an economy flight from London to France, which was purportedly recorded by filmmaker and influencer Lucas Pelizaro. And while acknowledging that yes, the bar is 'on the floor,' numerous fans have praised the star for choosing economy for a short-haul flight* as they pointed out that many celebrities splurge on private jets for ridiculously short trips.
As we all know, many celebs have faced increasing backlash in recent years for their private jet usage. Perhaps most notably, Kylie Jenner was branded a 'full time climate criminal' in 2022 after it was revealed that she'd used her jet to take flights as short as 17 minutes.
Meanwhile, stars like Travis Scott, Taylor Swift, and Kim Kardashian were exposed for their excessive private jet usage too, according to research conducted by sustainability-driven digital marketing agency Yard.
With this in mind, several fans branded Pedro a 'climate conscious king' as they commended his decision to fly commercial to Cannes. 'This man is in the news every day for doing good things,' one person said. 'Protect him at all costs,' someone else wrote.
'Clearly he just wants to be a regular guy treated like regular folks,' one more user said, while others named-dropped Taylor Swift and Travis Scott as they suggested other celebrities should 'take notes' from Pedro.
