Fantastic Four’s Pedro Pascal Says He Was “Appalled By The Way I Look” In ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ That He Has “Never Gone Back” To Clean Shaven Aesthetic
Pedro Pascal recently opened up about his experience filming Wonder Woman 1984, specifically commenting on his appearance in the film. In a candid moment, the Fantastic Four star revealed that he was “appalled by the way I look” while portraying the clean-shaven villain Maxwell Lord.
Pascal, who is now widely recognized for his rugged, bearded look in shows like The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, said that the experience of being clean-shaven in the 2020 DC film was so off-putting that he has “never gone back” to that aesthetic.
“I was appalled by the way I look in Wonder Woman 1984, and I’ve never gone back,” Pascal admitted in a recent interview. “It was fun to do the role, but I looked in the mirror and said, ‘Never again.’”
Fans have come to associate Pedro Pascal with a more mature and rugged charm, often marked by his now-signature facial hair. His discomfort with the clean-shaven look highlights just how much an actor’s appearance can influence both their confidence and their public image.
Pascal is set to play Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) in Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, where fans are expecting a more refined and iconic look that fits his current persona.
