Pedro Pascal<\/a> and his moustache are so natural together, many of us didn’t even realise it was a part of his signature look.<\/p>\n

It turns out this is by design though, with the 50-year-old<\/a> recently admitting he was so appalled by his clean-shaven appearance in one particular movie role that he vowed to never pick up the clippers again.<\/p>\n

\ufeffSpeaking to his Fantastic Four<\/a> co-star Vanessa Kirby during LADbible<\/a>‘s “Agree to Disagree” video series, they were asked to debate which was sexier \u2013 moustaches or beards?<\/p>\n

\ufeffPascal has almost always had facial hair throughout his career, but there was one memorble role that required him to shave his beard, which made him unrecognisable.<\/p>\n

In 2020’s Wonder Woman 1984, the \ufeffMaterialists star portrayed the villainous Maxwell Lord, with his appearance seeming somehow off.<\/p>\n

“I grow such shit facial hair, but if I were to shave it all off\u2026 I really look very [awful]. Strongly disagree with a clean-shaven me,” he shared with Kirby.<\/p>\n

\"PedroThe actor was “appalled” by his clean-shaven appearance in Wonder Woman 1984 (Warner Bros)<\/p>\n

“I was so appalled by the way I look in Wonder Woman 1984. I loved the movie, but I was so appalled by the way that I looked that I never have gone back unless it were completely necessary.<\/p>\n

“If they asked me to be clean shave for Fantastic Four and insisted then I would’ve done it. But it was a very collaborative creation for all of our looks in the movie.”<\/p>\n

His character in the film, Reed Richards, or Mr. Fantastic, is famously clean-shaven, which led to a little bit of backlash when it came to Pascal’s casting.<\/p>\n

Fantastic Four cast’s sweet moment at Sydney premiere<\/p>\n

The star was well aware of it, telling \ufeffVanity Fair<\/a> he constantly heard from fans of the franchise, “He’s too old. He’s not right. He needs to shave.<\/p>\n

“I’m more aware of disgruntlement around my casting than anything I’ve ever done,” Pascal said.<\/p>\n

He’s not the only one to refuse to change an aspect of themselves for a role.<\/p>\n

As recently as 2023, Kate Winslet revealed that during the filming of her movie Lee, in which she has a scene sitting on a bench in a bikini, \ufeffshe received a comment from staff that had her enraged.<\/p>\n

“There’s a bit where Lee’s sitting on a bench in a bikini… and one of the crew came up between takes and said, ‘You might want to sit up straighter.’ So you can’t see my belly rolls? Not on your life! It was deliberate, you know?” she said.<\/p>\n

“I take pride in [looking imperfect on-screen] because it is my life on my face, and that matters. It wouldn’t occur to me to cover that up.”<\/p>\n
