Pedro Pascal goes shirtless on beach during Christmas getaway

As an ardent fan, I find myself utterly captivated by Pedro Pascal‘s mesmerizing journey through Hollywood. The man who once graced our screens as a Chilean winemaker in “Wine Country” is now the enigmatic protector Joel Miller in “The Last of Us” and the beloved bounty hunter Din Djarin in “The Mandalorian.

Pedro Pascal displayed his athletic build, standing at 5 feet 11 inches tall, clad only in snug maroon swim shorts, as he lounged leisurely on a beach chair during his holiday by the sea over Christmas.

Lauren Alexander, one of the co-founders of LNA Clothing, shared a video on Instagram of the 49-year-old actor known for his role in Gladiator II, reading a paperback version of Olga Tokarczuk’s 2009 mystery novel titled Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead.

Looking straight into the camera, Pedro (formerly known as José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal), sporting a mischievous, mustached grin, revealed his hairless torso as it moved in for a closer shot.

On the side, Pascal enjoyed a coconut drink, seated next to Brandon Campbell, a man he possibly encountered during the 2014 filming of Game of Thrones, where Pascal portrayed Oberyn Martell and Brandon served as the technical music consultant.

On a Tuesday, the Chilean silver fox with an impressive 8.7 million Instagram followers showcased a seductive dance routine to the iconic 1987 chart-topper by George Michael, titled “Father Figure.

Pedro endorsed Halina Reijn’s sensual suspense film “Babygirl,” which premiered in U.S. cinemas on Wednesday and UK theaters on January 10, even though he wasn’t part of its creation process.

In a nod to a particular moment, Pascal portrayed an episode where the intern character played by Harris Dickinson danced sensually to the same tune, with him bare-chested, in front of Nicole Kidman’s CEO character.

Interestingly, it so happened that this past Wednesday was the eight-year anniversary of the passing of George Michael, who died at the age of 53. His death was attributed to dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and a fatty liver, which are natural causes.

Since his performances on the hit series “The Last of Us” and “The Mandalorian,” there has been growing curiosity surrounding this three-time Emmy nominee.

In spring 2025, Pedro will once again take on the character of the fierce guardian Joel Miller in the second installment of Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann’s gritty fungal apocalypse series, airing on Max.

The post-apocalyptic television series, modeled after Naughty Dog’s top-selling 2013 motion-captured video game, shattered records for viewership during its first season on cable TV.

Viewers won’t get to watch Pascal play the bounty hunter Din Djarin alongside Grogu in Jon Favreau’s live-action film adaptation of The Mandalorian until it premieres in cinemas on May 22, 2026.

The Wild Robot actor’s other upcoming projects include Matt Shakman’s MCU reboot The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Ari Aster’s New Mexico-set modern western Eddington, and Celine Song’s New York-set matchmaking rom-com Materialists

In a more casual context, it’s said that Pedro is rumored to have had relationships with famous disc jockey Simi Khadra and actress Lena Headey from Game of Thrones.
