Hollywood has never been kind to those brave enough to live openly, and Lux Pascal knows that better than anyone. But what sets her apart is having a brother like Pedro Pascal — a man willing to stand against the world to protect his sister.
At a time when the LGBTQ+ community faces relentless pressure, and amidst a flood of controversial statements from celebrities and politicians, Pedro chose not to stay silent like so many of his peers. He publicly called J.K. Rowling a “heinous loser” for her remarks targeting the trans community — a move that sent shockwaves through social media and split Hollywood into two fiercely opposing camps.
For Lux Pascal — the young Chilean actress who once faced intense scrutiny after publicly coming out as a transgender woman in 2021 — Pedro was a living example of one unshakable truth: “There’s no reason to hide who you are.” She tearfully shared, “He taught me that. And now, I’m not afraid anymore.”
Meanwhile, Lux hasn’t hesitated to voice her stance on the suffocating political climate either. While admitting she’s “trying to wait out the storm,” she firmly believes in the power of visibility and personal voice in these tense times.
What might surprise many is that Lux is quietly making her way into the American film and television industry, with two projects already underway. It’s a bold move that might catch those who doubted her off guard — the ones who thought she would remain in Chile, silent and unseen.
So, is Pedro Pascal a silent hero — or a villain to those who fear the truth and prefer hiding behind old prejudices? The answer depends on your perspective. But one thing’s for sure: the bond and bravery of the Pascal siblings is making Hollywood uncomfortable.
