Pedro Pascal praised for outfit he wore to his 50th birthday

Pedro Pascal has just turned 50 - and fans have been loving the outfit he wore for his birthday.

The Last Of Us actor recently celebrated the milestone with a party in London, headlined by DJ Honey Dijon.

With guests such as Russell Tovey and sister Lux Pascal, he was spotted having an incredible time, dancing on someone’s shoulders to Crystal Waters’ Gypsy Woman.

He also posted a photo with DJ Dijon, wearing a cap which said House of Dijon and a shirt with the slogan “protect the dolls” (meaning those who identify as transfeminine) which fans adored.

One fan on X wrote: “I've never ordered anything this fast before.”

Another added: “the protect the dolls shirt is incredible i love him.”

It’s not the first time Pascal has voiced support for the trans community, earlier this year he was praised for posting the famous quote “a world without trans people has never existed and never will” on Instagram.

In the comments, he echoed the post, calling trolls “vile and small”.

“I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist,” he wrote.

It’s a topic close to his heart as Pascal’s sister, Lux, said she was transgender in 2021.

And Pascal told an interview with Esquire that while he “wouldn't want to speak on her behalf” he was fiercely protective of his sister.

“She is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I’ve ever known,” he told the publication.

“My protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.”

Speaking about her brother, Lux said in Chilean publication Ya magazine, which has been translated by other outlets, that Pedro had been an “important” part of her journey.

She said: “He has been an important part of this. He is also an artist and has been a guide.

“He was one of the first to give me the things that formed my identity.”

She added: “For everyone in my family, my transition has been something very natural. Almost something they were waiting to happen.”
