Pedro Pascal Embraces His Heartthrob Status For Vanity Fair’s July/August Issue

Summer’s heating up at Vanity Fair! The magazine’s tapped Pedro Pascal as its June/August 2025 cover star, who fronts a swoon-worthy editorial in dapper suiting, classic trousers, robes, and tank tops, photographed by Sbølve Sundsbø. Within his feature interview with Karen Valby, Pascal opens up on his new sex symbol status in his 50’s—plus his renowned privacy, numerous roles on Materialists, The Fantastic Four, The Last of Us, Eddington, and The Mandalorian, and aging in the public eye.

“Stepping into my 40s felt adult and empowered,” said Pascal. “Fifty felt more vulnerable—much more vulnerable. More so, more so. What a silly thing for a 50-year-old man—to have all this attention!”
