Pedro Pascal, the beloved The Last of Us actor, sat down for the annual Drama Actor Emmy Roundtable of The Hollywood Reporter this month, along with five other actors, including Evan Peters and Damson Idris. During the interview, Pascal addressed and responded to the fact that fans call him "daddy" on different social media platforms.

The host of the roundtable interview pointed out to Pedro Pascal that "1.5 million pages turn up" if someone searches the actor's name alongside the word "daddy" on Google. The host then went on to ask Pascal if he was just having fun with it, and the actor responded to the question by sharing:

"Yeah, I am having fun with it. [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. These are daddy parts. That’s what it is."

Naturally, fans of the actor took to Twitter to express their love for his pure-hearted response, with one fan noting how "innocent" The Last of Us actor is.
