Pedro Pascal Reemerges Post-Rowling Feud at 'Evita' Press Night
SCANDAL IN TOWN: Pedro Pascal Spotted for First Time Since JK Rowling Feud - And He's Got a Message
The drama never ends, folks! Fresh from his explosive feud with author JK Rowling, Pedro Pascal has been spotted for the first time since their very public spat. The Game of Thrones star, 50, was seen attending the press night of Evita at the London Palladium alongside his longtime friend and actress Sarah Paulson.
Pascal, who famously called Rowling a "heinous loser" after she responded to his criticism of her gender-critical opinions, looked like he was on top of the world as he stepped out in a bold Cure t-shirt reading "Boys Don't Cry". The actor's sartorial choice was just one of many highlights from the star-studded evening, which also included appearances by Keanu Reeves, Jessica Alba, and Love Island star Amber Davies.
But let's get back to the juicy stuff - Pascal's feud with Rowling. It all started when the author responded to his comments about her views on gender, saying she would "happily" go to jail for misgendering a trans person. Needless to say, Pedro was not impressed.
In an explosive interview with Vanity Fair last month, Pascal doubled down on his criticism of Rowling, declaring that bullies like her make him feel "f*ing sick". He also shared his concerns about whether his actions would hinder the cause he was supporting - protecting the transgender community.
"I want to protect the people I love," Pascal said. "But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f*ing sick."
Rowling, who has been at the center of several high-profile feuds over her gender-critical opinions, has denied being transphobic and has instead focused on raising funds for organizations dedicated to removing trans rights.
The drama between Pascal and Rowling has sparked a heated debate online, with many calling out both parties for their actions. But one thing is clear - this feud has brought attention to an important issue: the treatment of transgender people in society.
So what does it all mean? Well, for starters, Pedro Pascal's comments have sparked a much-needed conversation about gender and identity. And while his feud with Rowling may have been messy, it's also given us a glimpse into the very real struggles faced by transgender people every day.
As Pascal said himself, "A world without trans people has never existed and never will." It's time for all of us to take a stand and support our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters.
