Pedro Pascal Opens Up About His On-Screen Facial Hair Choices

In a candid discussion, actor Pedro Pascal explains his preference for facial hair in his roles, citing a negative experience with clean-shaven looks in 'Wonder Woman 1984'. He shares insights about his appearance decisions for the upcoming 'The Fantastic Four' film.

Pedro Pascal recently opened up about his preference for maintaining facial hair while acting, attributing it to a less flattering experience with a clean-shaven look. In a conversation with 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' co-star Vanessa Kirby as part of LADbible's Agree to Disagree series, he reflected on his on-screen image choices.

"I grow such sparse facial hair, but if I were to shave it all off... I look very unappealing. I strongly disagree with a clean-shaven version of myself," Pascal stated. He remarked that his appearance in the 2020 film 'Wonder Woman 1984' was so displeasing to him that he avoids going clean-shaven unless necessary.

The actor, who played Maxwell Lord in the Patty Jenkins-directed DC film, shared that he would have obliged should 'Fantastic Four' director Matt Shakman demanded a clean-shaven look, but praised the collaborative nature of the character creation process that respected his preferences. This retro-themed film, featuring stars like Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, hits theaters on July 24.
