Strongly disagree with clean-shaven me: Pedro Pascal on his look in 'Wonder Woman 1984'

Pedro Pascal reveals he was "appalled" by his clean-shaven look in 'Wonder Woman 1984' and refuses to repeat it unless absolutely necessary.

"Strongly disagree with a clean-shaven me – Pedro Pascal"

Washington DC, July 23

Pedro Pascal has long rocked facial hair throughout his career, but there was one role that required him to go clean-shaven. However, he was so "appalled" by the way he looked that he never thought of trying it again for any other role, reported Variety.

"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," Pascal said, adding, "I was so appalled by the way I look in 'Wonder Woman 1984.' I loved the movie, but I was so appalled by the way that I looked that I never went back unless it was completely necessary. If they asked me to be clean-shaven for 'Fantastic Four' and insisted, then I would've done it. But it was a very collaborative creation for all of our looks in the movie," as per the outlet.

As an Indian fan, I'm more excited about his role in Fantastic Four! Reed Richards is such an iconic character. Hope they do justice to the source material unlike some previous adaptations.

Honestly, WW1984 was quite disappointing compared to the first movie. The plot was weak and Pascal's character was forgettable. DC needs to up their game if they want to compete with Marvel's consistency.

I think actors should be more open to different looks for their roles. In Bollywood, we see stars transform completely for characters - that's real dedication to the craft! ✨

Pedro Pascal is such a versatile actor - from Narcos to Mandalorian to now Fantastic Four! Hollywood could learn something from our South Indian film industries where actors regularly do completely different roles.

I'm just happy to see more diversity in Hollywood superhero movies. Now if only we could get proper Indian superhero representation beyond just cameos... maybe a Ms. Marvel style series for Chakra or Nagraj?
