Pedro Pascalat theCannes Film Festivalis going viral for all the right reasons.
On May 16, Pedro arrived at the 78th Cannes Film Festival for Ari Aster’s A24 filmEddington,which received a five-minute standing ovation.
But, based on the internet’s thirsty reactions, there’s a good chance that at least two minutes of that standing ovation were specifically for Pedro Pascal’s arms.

For theEddingtonphoto call, Pedro wore Calvin Klein — black trousers, and a black muscle tank top that reveals his arms and a tasteful side view of his torso.

Here’s a closer look:
Pedro’s arms instantly became a main character.
His biceps are the supporting characters.
And the production team behind the arms is receiving praise as well.
It wasn’t just Pedro’s spicy style and bare arms that had the internet in a frenzy.The Last of Usactor’s actions at the festival really have people talking, too.
Speaking on a panel at the festival, Pedro took a moment to speak up for immigrants. “I want people to be safe and to be protected. I want to live on the right side of history,” he began.
Pedro Pascal at#Cannes : " I need people to be dependable and protected . I want to dwell on the right side of history . I am an immigrant . My parents are refugee from Chile . We flee a dictatorship and I was privilege enough to grow up in the United States after refuge in Denmark . I…pic.twitter.com/n9rpIVurSZ
“I am an immigrant,” he continued. “My parents are refugees from Chile. I, myself, am a refugee. We fled a dictatorship, and I was privileged enough to grow up in the US after asylum in Denmark… I stand by those protections, always.”
On the flip side, he was being extremely playful, blowing kisses and constantlypoking out his tongueat cameras.
The twirl.

There’s a moment when he had abeautiful embrace with Alexander Skarsgårdafter the premiere ofPillion,a 2025 British drama starring Alexander alongside Harry Melling, and written/directed by Harry Lighton.
The internet is straight up thirsty for Pedro, and it’s not even a joke.
One person said, “anyway back to more important topics…Pedro Pascaldefinitely could have been in a 90s Boy Band,” and that’s so real.
Another person said, “he makes me want to chew through my own arm,” and that’s also real.
This person said, “I swear - every time I see this man I could drown a toddler in my panties,” and that’s wild, but also understandable in this internet climate.
And finally, someone wrote, “every time someoone invalidates me for finding a 50 year old man hot, pedro pascal validates me by showing up even sexier and hotter than the day before,” and that’s facts.
Pedro is a fan favorite.
Period.
