Pete Davidson calls out Pedro Pascal backlash
During an appearance on This Past Weekend with Theo Von in New York City, Pete Davidson discussed fatherhood, his late father’s memory, and the challenges of sudden fame in Hollywood.
He used Pedro Pascal as an example, calling the backlash against him unfair and saying, “He’s worked so hard, he’s been a struggling actor, blows up so f**king 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**k away dude!’”
Davidson highlighted the entertainment industry’s pattern of elevating stars only to quickly turn against them. He added, “It’s like, what the f**k dude?? You’ve got to give someone time to adjust to that new level of fame… It’s like we build everybody up and now it’s so fast to turn [on them].” His remarks reflect broader concerns about how rapidly public opinion shifts online.
Pedro Pascal rose to fame with The Mandalorian and The Last of Us and continues to take on roles in both major blockbusters and independent films. Some viewers criticized him for being “overexposed,” but he keeps expanding his career. Most recently, Todd Haynes announced Pascal as Joaquin Phoenix’s replacement in the upcoming film De Noche, scheduled to begin production in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 2026, with Danny Ramirez in talks to co-star.
Despite the online backlash, reports indicate Pascal is unfazed and focused on new projects. Insiders confirm productions are willing to adjust around his schedule as he continues to work across different genres. Davidson’s comments underscore the pressures of navigating fame and the unpredictability of audience reactions in today’s media climate.
