”The last of us”-star has previously called J.K. Rowling's opinions ”despicable loser behavior” earlier this year. In an interview with Vanity fair Pascal, whose sister Lux Pascal is a trans activist and actor, develops his reasoning.
I want to protect the people I love. But it goes further than that, bullies make me feel ill, says Pascal.
In April, J.K. Rowling took to social media to celebrate the decision of the UK's highest court to exclude trans women from the legal definition "woman".
"I love when a plan comes together", she wrote with a picture of her holding a drink and puffing on a cigar.
Pedro Pascal says in the interview that the trans issue must be handled with "the greatest possible elegance so that something can actually happen and people are actually protected”. He also reflects on his public statements:
One thing I've been anxious about is if I'm helping anyone. Am I making a damn difference?
