Pedro Pascal Speaks Out at 'Eddington' Premiere : 'Fear Is the Way That They Win'
Pedro Pascal spoke out about the political climate and immigration policies under the second Trump administration at the Cannes premiere of 'Eddington.'
Pedro Pascal spoke out about the political climate under the second Trump administration and the current immigration policies during the Cannes press conference following the premiere of Eddington.
The Ari Aster film stars Pascal as a progressive New Mexico mayor battling Joaquin Phoenixâs small-town sheriff amid the Covid pandemic in May 2020. Eddington, which skewers the MAGA movement by way of Phoenixâs character, takes place during the first Trump administration, was filmed during the Biden presidency, but will ultimately be released during the second Trump administration.
The same day Trump seemingly threatened Bruce Springsteenâs re-entry back into America after that singerâs politically charged comments during a European tour stop, Pascal â the son of Chilean refugees â was also asked if he was worried about reentering the U.S. following Eddingtonâs premiere.
âFear is the way that they win,â Pascal said. âSo keep telling the stories, keep expressing yourself and keep fighting to be who you are. Fuck the people that try to make you scared, you know? And fight back. This is the perfect way to do so in telling stories. And donât let them win.â
Earlier in the press conference, Pascal was asked about the Trump administrationâs immigration policies. âObviously, itâs very scary for an actor participating in a movie to sort of speak to issues like this. Itâs far too intimidating the question for me to really address, Iâm not informed enough,â Pascal said.Â
âI want people to be safe and to be protected, and I want very much to live on the right of history. Iâm an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship, and I was privileged enough to grow up in the U.S. after asylum in Denmark. If it werenât for that, I donât know what would have happened to us. I stand by those protections. Iâm too afraid of your question, I hardly remember what it was.âÂ
Pascal added of Eddington, âIt felt like the first time that we had a mole, like a whistleblower almost, someone from the inside being like, âThis is whatâs happening. And that was really powerful to me, and I donât think I understood that until I saw it.â
âYou know, when you travel, you like to leave with a souvenir, right? So he got a $400 million plane,â Maher says of Trumpâs Middle East trip
