Internet daddy Pedro Pascal has spoken out against the culture of fear that has descended on the U.S. following the re-election of President Donald Trump.
The star of the dystopian hit The Last of Us is in France for the Cannes Film Festival to promote his latest flick, Eddington, a pandemic-era neo-Western directed by indie legend Ari Aster.
Aster’s new film sees Pascal play a small-town mayor campaigning against a down-on-his-luck sheriff played by Joaquin Phoenix in a New Mexico town in 2020. The Black Lives Matter protests and the mask policies of the COVID-19 pandemic set the backdrop for simmering racial and political tensions, pitting neighbor against neighbor. Austin Butler and Emma Stone also star in the film, which his set for a July 18 release.
