Pete Davidson Fires Back at Fans Complaining About Pedro Pascal Fatigue
Pedro Pascal has been everywhere lately, and some fans say they’re feeling “Pedro fatigue.” The actor, known for his roles in Game of Thrones, The Mandalorian, and The Last of Us, has been taking on role after role and becoming one of Hollywood’s busiest stars.
His constant presence online, from memes to interviews, has only added to the feeling that he’s impossible to escape.
Pascal has also drawn attention for his progressive views and support for the LGBTQ+ community, which has won him even more publicity. However, he’s recently been involved in controversy. He was accused by fans of inappropriately touching his co-star Vanessa Kirby on the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, though she is engaged.
Even before that, fans were talking about “Pedro fatigue.” Over the past year alone, Pascal has appeared in an impressive list of projects, including both seasons of The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, The Uninvited, The Wild Robot, Gladiator II, Eddington, Materialists, and most recently, The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
And he shows no signs of slowing down, with upcoming work on The Mandalorian and Grogu as well as Avengers: Doomsday.
His schedule and rapid rise to fame have led to jokes and commentary from other actors. At the premiere of Naked Gun, Liam Neeson poked fun at Pascal’s ubiquity. “Spoiler alert: there’s no zombies, no superheroes, and Pedro Pascal isn’t in this movie,” Neeson said, drawing laughter from the audience.
Now, Pete Davidson has weighed in on the conversation. Speaking with comedian Theo Von, Davidson defended Pascal against complaints about his constant presence in films and TV.
“He’s worked so hard, he’s been a struggling actor, blows up so f**** 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!’ It’s like what the f**** dude?”
Davidson’s point is simple: Pascal worked his way up in a tough industry, and now that he’s finally getting major roles, it’s natural for people to see him in a lot of projects. Fans’ frustration with seeing him everywhere, Davidson suggests, is misplaced.
Pascal’s rise reflects the reality of Hollywood, where actors who succeed quickly often become unavoidable in pop culture. While some may feel fatigued, his continued presence shows his dedication and versatility as an actor.
Whether fans love him or think they’ve seen too much of him, Pascal’s career isn’t slowing down. For now, he’s proving that hard work, talent, and persistence can make someone impossible to ignore.
