Pedro Pascal Explains Why He’ll Never Shave Again After This Film: 'I Was Appalled'
We definitely prefer the 'tache too Pedro.
We may all know and love Pedro Pascal as the internet’s favourite incredibly charming moustached man, but there’s one role that the Fantastic Four star says made him swear off the clean-shaven look forever – Wonder Woman 1984.
The 50-year-old’s facial hair is a key part of his trademark look but when he took on the part of television-personality-turned-villain Maxwell Lord in Patty Jenkin’s 2020 Wonder Woman sequel, the star was required to shave the lot off.
In an interview with LADbible, alongside his Marvel co-star Vanessa Kirby, he was asked which was sexier, moustaches or beards.
“I grow such s*** facial hair,” Pedro commented.
“I were to shave it all off, I really look very [awful]. Strongly disagree with a clean shaven me.
“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 have gone back unless it were completely necessary.
“If they asked me to be clean shave 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.”
Fortunately for Pedro (and let’s be real, for us too), he wasn’t required to reach for the razor for the role of Reed Richards – although some Marvel fans weren’t happy with the Mandalorian actor’s casting.
“I’m more aware of disgruntlement around my casting than anything I’ve ever done,” he previously told © HuffPost
