Pedro Pascal didn't like how he looked without a beard in 'Wonder Woman'

Pedro Pascal reveals he disliked his clean-shaven appearance in Wonder Woman 1984 and prefers facial hair for future roles.

"I was so appalled by the way I looked that I never have gone back unless it were completely necessary. – Pedro Pascal"

Washington DC, July 24

Pedro Pascal revealed that he prefers to keep facial hair for his acting roles and there's a personal reason behind it.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor recently shared his thoughts during a conversation with 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' co-star Vanessa Kirby in LADbible's Agree to Disagree video series. When asked whether moustaches are sexier than beards, Pascal used the moment to reflect on his own on-screen appearance.

"I grow such shit facial hair, but if I were to shave it all off... I really look very [awful]. Strongly disagree with a clean-shaven me," said Pascal.

"In Wonder Woman 1984, I was so appalled by the way I look. I loved the movie, but I was so appalled by the way that I looked that I never have gone back unless it were completely necessary," he added.

Pascal played the villain Maxwell Lord in the 2020 DC film directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot. The clean-shaven role left such an impact on him that he has since avoided the look whenever possible.

"If producers and director Matt Shakman asked me to be clean shave for Fantastic Four and insisted, then I would've done it," Pascal said. "But it was a very collaborative creation for all of our looks in the movie," he added.

Set in a retro-style 1960s universe, The Fantastic Four also stars Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn. The story follows the team as they protect Earth from Galactus and the Silver Surfer, while trying to stay strong as a family. The film is set to release on July 24.

This is such a relatable concern! Many Indian men also feel self-conscious about their facial hair. But honestly, actors should be willing to transform completely for roles - that's what makes them great performers. Our own Irrfan Khan never hesitated to change his look.

Interesting perspective! In India, clean-shaven look is often preferred in corporate settings while beards are common in creative fields. Maybe Pascal should visit India - he'll see both styles are equally appreciated here depending on context. Looking forward to Fantastic Four!

As someone living in Mumbai, I find this debate amusing. Our local trains are full of men with all kinds of facial hair styles - from full beards to clean shaven to just moustaches. Confidence matters more than the style! Pedro looked fine either way.

Respectfully disagree with Pascal here. As an actor, he should be willing to sacrifice personal preferences for roles. Our Indian actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan have transformed completely for characters. That's what makes them legends!

Haha, this reminds me of my brother who refuses to shave his beard! 😂 But seriously, in India we have such diverse beauty standards - from Sikh gentlemen with majestic beards to South Indian heroes with clean looks. All are beautiful in their own way!
