Pedro Pascal expressed strong opposition to Donald Trump's negative rhetoric towards artists during a press conference for Ari Aster's film Eddington at Cannes. He encouraged creatives to continue sharing their stories, particularly emphasizing the importance of protecting vulnerable communities. Pascal, an immigrant himself, shared his personal background, noting the fear artists face regarding their political messages being weaponized. Aster, sharing his own concerns, acknowledged the anxiety over such implications, reflecting a broader fear among creatives in the current political climate.
"Fuck the people that try to make you scared, the Game of Thrones and The Last of Us actor said at a press conference at the Cannes film festival, promoting Ari Aster's new film Eddington. And fight back. And don't let them win."
"I want people to be safe and to be protected, and I want very much to live on the right [side] of history. I'm an immigrant, said Pascal, whose parents fled Pinochet-led Chile when he was nine months old."
"Asked whether he was concerned that the political message of films could be used against cast members when they tried to re-enter the US, Aster said: The truth is, I'm scared of everything. All the time. So, yeah."
