Pedro Pascal: ‘I am having fun with’ being ‘the internet’s daddy’

Pedro Pascal is “the internet’s daddy” — and he said he doesn’t mind. 

“Yeah, I am having fun with it,” he . 

“[The 🦄daddy thing] seems a little role-related. There was a period where the Mandalorian is very daddy to baby Grogu, and Joel is very daddy to Ellie [in ‘T🀅he Last of Us’].”

Pascal, 48, has exper🔥ienced a meteoric rise recently. 

Althoughಌ he initially rose to fame in 2014 playing the ill-fated swaggering bisexual prince Ober🍌yn on “Game of Thrones” during the show’s fourth season, his spotlight has increased more recently.

He has had roles in several high-p♉rofile franchises such as “Narcos,” “Wonder Woman” and, of🌳 course, “The Mandalorian” on and “The Last of Us” on .

“The Last of Us” co-creator Craig Mazin told The Post about casting Pascal, “ওWe wanted to find someone that the audience had a little bit of buy-in with already, who they could kind of latch onto. Because he’s going to be pulling you through this complicated landscape with lots of people coming in and out as the story progresses. And Pedro has this incredible combination of old-fashioned masculinity and tough-guy exterior, but this wounded soulඣ and pain and vulnerability in the eyes.”

Pascal’s recent self-proclaimed “very daddy” roles have prompted many of his fans to coin hi🃏m  

In one red carpet interview earlier this year, Pascal even said, “Yep, I am your cool slutty daddy.”

He’s now clarifying that he doesn’t min☂d his moment in the spotlight with this moniker, but he’s got no plans to make it literal.ꦰ 

“These are dadd🐓y parts,” he told the outlet. 

“That’s what it is. I’m not a daddy and I’m 🉐not going to be a 𒁃daddy.”
