(CNN) — This week, Pedro Pascal arrived on the red carpet for the premiere of the third season of the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian” in Los Angeles wearing a lemon yellow Gucci collared shirt, gray wide-leg pants and a sweater from mustard knit tied to the shoulders.
The outfit, curated by celebrity stylist Julie Ragolia, was completed with a pair of sunglasses. oversize tortoiseshell, 1970s style.
Pascal’s ensemble exuded a soothing paternal air, transforming the Chilean-American actor into a wealthy Ivy League dad: a dad who is as devoted to renewable energy as it is to underwriting At GQ, her schedule is packed with regular parent-teacher meetings at her kids’ college and dates at her local organic wine bar, with her book club friends.

In short, fatherhood suits Pascal well. Though he has no children of his own, the 47-year-old actor has won hearts playing the surly but suave surrogate father, whether as bounty hunter Din Djarin in “The Mandalorian” or as Joel Miller in HBO’s post-apocalyptic drama , “The Last of Us”. (HBO and HBO Max are also owned by CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)
In the eyes of many social media users, these pseudo-parental interpretations have earned Pascal the sexually charged title of “Daddy.” (The hashtag “PedroPascalDaddy,” for example, has over 18 million views on TikTok alone.) It is a status that Pascal has accepted with open arms. “Being a ‘daddy’ is a state of mind, you know?” he told Vanity Fair during an interview in 2022, adding boldly, “I’m his daddy.” Pascal’s acknowledgment of his status didn’t stop there. In a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight in January, while staring into the camera, she went a step further and said, “I’m your easy daddy.”

Now, the actor is also stoking the fire with his style choices. On another red carpet promo for “The Mandalorian” earlier this month, he donned a brown knit shirt and tailored red pants, both from Acne Studios. Against a sea of black jackets, these colorful and cozy knitwear look carefree, comfortable, and show a mature man in full control of his aesthetic. For Pascal, being a “daddy” is not just a state of mind, but also a way of dressing.
