Public fascination regarding Pedro Pascal's private life has reached a fever pitch following a string of viral, high-profile sightings. The actor, often dubbed the internet's favourite 'daddy' and 'boyfriend', has once again fuelled speculation not just about the real score between him and Rafael Olarra, but also about his sexuality. The intrigue surrounding Pascal has become a cultural talking point, blending celebrity gossip with broader conversations about privacy and the blurred line between fandom and personal boundaries.

Recent photographs and videos, including images of the star getting 'handsy' with the creative director took over social media. From cozying up at a local theater in New York City while watching Wuthering Heights and linking arms in the Lower East Side, to a new, PDA-heavy stroll in Los Angeles caught by TMZ, the world is asking the same question: Is Pedro Pascal part of the LGBTQ+ community? While the actor has long been a fierce ally, these latest sightings have prompted questions about whether his support may also reflect personal experience.

Affectionate Stroll in Los Angeles

Images published by TMZ show Pascal and Olarra walking together in Beverly Hills on Monday, 23 February. The pair were seen wrapping their arms around each other's waists, with Pascal leaning his mouth and chin onto Olarra's shoulder. Both appeared relaxed and smiling as they enjoyed the California sunshine.

Previous Sightings of the Two Together

Prior to their Los Angeles sighting, Pascal and Olarra were photographed together in New York City over the Valentine's Day weekend. According to TMZ, the duo were spotted linking arms on their way to Sunday lunch in the Lower East Side. The outlet reported, 'The two dressed dapper as they checked out the Lower East Side, getting in a little sightseeing before their meal.'

The pair were also spotted attending a screening of Wuthering Heights at a local theatre. 'The two took in the period romance, starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, while periodically chatting in the cozy theater,' the report wrote. The coverage also noted that they appeared affectionate toward each other, reinforcing the impression of closeness.

Is Pedro Pascal Part of the LBGTQ+ Community?

Speculation about Pascal's sexuality has intensified in light of these public displays of affection. However, the 50-year-old actor is notoriously private about his personal life, including his relationships.

He is widely regarded as a fierce ally of the LGBTQ+ community, a stance shaped in part by his sister Lux Pascal, who is trans, as reported by OUT Magazine. He has also worked alongside nonbinary actor Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us. Despite this, Pascal has never publicly addressed his own sexuality. His Instagram profile lists his pronouns as he/him, but beyond that, he has offered no clarification, leaving fans and media to speculate without confirmation.

The 'Real Score' Between Pascal and Olarra

When asked by photographers about the nature of their relationship, both Pascal and Olarra declined to comment. Neither has issued a statement confirming or denying dating rumours. As such, all speculation remains based solely on public sightings and media coverage.
