Pedro Pascal, acclaimed actor from The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, and the upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has publicly criticized Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling over her controversial stance regarding transgender rights.
The actor joined the conversation following a video posted by writer Tariq Raouf on April 17. The video criticized Rowling's endorsement of a recent UK Supreme Court ruling that legally defines "woman" strictly as "a biological woman" in equality legislation - effectively excluding transgender women from certain protections.
Responding to Rowling's celebratory social media post featuring herself smoking a cigar with the caption "I love it when a plan comes together," Pascal didn't hold back. He echoed Raouf's characterization of her actions as "heinous LOSER behavior," calling her stance "awful disgusting SH**."
This isn't Pascal's first time openly supporting transgender rights. The actor has previously:
In 2021, Pascal shared a heartfelt message ("Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux") celebrating his sister's public transition. His advocacy extends beyond personal connections, frequently using his platform to amplify transgender voices.
Pascal's latest comments add to the ongoing debate surrounding Rowling's controversial positions, drawing renewed attention to the important conversation about transgender rights and inclusion.
