The internet’s favourite TV actor, Pedro Pascal, best known for his roles in The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, turned up at a fan’s art show that was all about him last weekend.
The Margate exhibition, called ADHD Hyper Fixation and why it looks like I love Pedro Pascal, was created by the artist Heidi Gentle Burrell, 45, in June. Pascal visited with his friend and fellow actor Russell Tovey, and the gallerist and former musician Robert Diament.
However, when they arrived, the gallery was shut for the day. They took a selfie outside the window to mark the occasion, which Tovey shared on social media, captioning it: “Margate art friends reunited”.
Burrell, who sadly wasn’t in Margate at the same time as Pascal, told the Independent that she used art as a means of expressing her “self-diagnosed” ADHD.
She said Pascal had a “really interesting face”, which featured “two little bald patches in his beard and creases in his eyebrows and bridge of his nose”.
“I wouldn’t call myself an obsessed fan,” she added, “but I do hyper-fixate on capturing him in my art.”
The Rhodes Gallery, where the exhibition is still on display, also shared the photo, describing the “wonderful and amazing” moment as “the ultimate event”.
The 48-year-old actor, who also starred in Game of Thrones, has proven to be a hit with pop culture fans.
This year, Pascal told the Hollywood Reporter that, because of the way his GoT character, Oberyn Martell, had died, fans were “super into taking selfies with their thumbs in my eyes”.
“I was so earnest and happy about the success of the character in the show, I’d let them!” he said. “And then I remember getting a bit of an eye infection.”
He also regularly goes viral on TikTok for his sweet red carpet and junket interviews, which have earned him a “daddy of the internet” reputation and made him the “internet’s resident crush”.
