Lux Pascal, actress: I'm not the only trans person in Pedro Pascal's life'
"Every time she meets a new person, they've likely labelled her as one of two things. Either she is nothing more than the younger sister of Pedro Pascal the actor from the biggest series in recent years (Game of Thrones, The Mandalorian, The Last of Us) who leaped into movie stardom in the last 12 months (Materialists, Fantastic Four: First Steps, Gladiator II and Eddington), or she is nothing more than a trans celebrity in a country obsessed with demonizing or canonizing them en masse."
"I grew up going to Catholic school, in uniform, she says. I'm not afraid of the religious side of life, because I was raised around Christian and Catholic people. The Jesuits were the first to promote education in America, there has always been that connection between knowledge and theology. The church, and rightly so, is seen in a critical light today, but it has a lot of interesting material, which is undeniably part of our culture."
"Is the world a more interesting place to you, beyond what we can see with our eyes? People are much more complex than what others think, that's what draws my attention. She raises her gaze and returns the cube to her backpack. If Lux Pascal didn't have to speak for people who aren't in the room, if the things she says weren't eclipsed by the ones she hasn't, things would be different."
Lux Pascal uses a Rubik's cube to calm anxiety and often faces reductive labels from strangers. People commonly identify her either as Pedro Pascal’s younger sister or as a trans celebrity in a polarizing cultural climate, sometimes combining both identities. She grew up attending Catholic school and feels comfortable with the religious side of life due to being raised around Christian and Catholic people. She notes the Jesuits’ historical role in education and a cultural link between knowledge and theology. People’s complexity fascinates her. She trained at leading performance schools in Chile and the United States, including the Pontifical Catholic University and Juilliard.
