Pedro Pascal, at the Cannes press conference for his film 'Eddington', encouraged Americans to "fight back" against oppression and fear, particularly within the context of Donald Trump's presidency. He emphasized the importance of storytelling as a form of resistance against those who attempt to instill fear in others. While discussing the film’s themes, which reflect on social turmoil, Pascal highlighted the struggles of marginalized communities under Trump’s administration, especially regarding LGBTQ+ rights. His outspoken support for trans rights is well-noted and reflects his commitment to social justice.
"F**k the people that make you scared and fight back. This is a perfect way to do so in telling stories, and don't let them win."
"Fear is the way that they win."
