Pedro Pascal has starred in several significant roles in recent years, including playing Din Djarin in The Mandalorian and Joel Miller in The Last of Us, both of which earned him widespread recognition. The characters share some similarities, not only because they are both protective father figures, but because Pascal sports facial hair in the two portrayals, just like his most recent role as Reed Richards in the MCU’s The Fantastic Four: The First Steps. It turns out, this was not just a coincidence. It was an intentional decision on his part.
