Robert Downey Jr. and Pedro Pascal praise each other Not only did they spend time with each other at the film sets, but Downey hosted something called as 'Homework Days' at his home for the cast to have workshop scenes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Pascal's slow trajectory to becoming a household name who is on a wildly hot streak kind of reaffirms my faith in our industry,' the 60-year-old actor said about his co-star, according to Vanity Fair. Pascal gave a compliment to the 'Iron Man' actor as well, by stating that he is generous and makes you feel invited when the others feel nervous, hungry or ambivalent. Previously, 'The Last of Us' star was bashed by the netizens for getting cast as Reed Richards, citing that he is too old, he is not right, and he needs to shave. In the difficult times, Pascal turned towards Downey and became committed to his Marvel role. Other co-stars who support Pedro Pascal Other co-stars who have praised Pedro Pascal include his 'Fantastic Four' co-star, . 'He doesn't have much armour, so he shows himself to you straight away, and you trust that person because he's revealing himself to you in this very brave way,' she said. Pedro's 21-year-old co-star, , also supported him. She pointed out that she dislikes it when people refer to him as Daddy.

Pedro Pascal wanted to quit acting. His community didn't let him.
If you feel like Pedro Pascal is everywhere right now, it's because he kind of is. This week, the 50-year-old star of such critically-acclaimed shows as 'The Last of Us' and 'The Mandalorian' — as well as the buzzy new A24 film 'Materialists' — appeared on the cover of the July/August issue of Vanity Fair. In a heartfelt interview with contributor Karen Valby, he attributed his success as an actor to the assistance he took from 'angels around him': his friends, family and even his late pit bull mix, Gretta, whom he grieved before his big break. 'In my 30s I was supposed to have a career,' Pascal said to Vanity Fair. 'Past 29 without a career meant that it was over, definitely.' After the death of his mom Veronica, who died tragically by suicide, the Chilean American, then 24, worked in restaurants and bars while trying to make it as an actor. Pascal often contemplated changing his career but was urged by his oldest sister, Javiera Balmaceda, to stay on course. 'When Pedro would say, 'I'm going to nursing school' or 'I'm going to be a theater teacher,' it was just like 'No, no, no, no! You're too good!'' Balmaceda said. 'The one thing we'd never allow Pedro to do was give up,' she added. During this time, his friends would buy him groceries, Balmaceda would give him money to make it through the week, and his college friend, actress Sarah Paulson, would let him use her sister's car and give him her per diem money from her performing jobs. Pascal also credited his dog with giving him the excitement he was missing. '[Gretta] saved my life, that dog, because she gave me someone to go home to,' he said. This year, the award-winning actor reprised his role as Joel Miller in the second season of the HBO's hit series 'The Last of Us' and starred in Celine Song's romance film 'Materialists,' where he plays Harry Castillo, a desirable bachelor. Pascal will cap off his packed summer by appearing alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Ari Aster's western 'Eddington' and entering the Marvel cinematic universe as Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, in 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' sharing the screen with Vanessa Kirby.

Threads is testing spoiler text, Zuckerberg says
Threads, Meta's microblogging platform, is testing spoiler text, according to a post from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Spoiler text refers to words (or images) that are grayed out in a post and only become readable if you manually click to see them. As the name suggests, spoiler text is often used on platforms like Discord or Reddit to help people communicate about new movies, TV shows, or books without accidentally revealing plot points and twists for people who aren't caught up. This is a nice quality-of-life upgrade on the user side, but it also helps Meta by encouraging more conversations about pop culture without people worrying about spoiling others. 'Popular shows like 'The Last of Us' and 'The White Lotus' regularly trended on Threads during their seasons, a clear sign of the app's growing community of entertainment and pop culture enthusiasts,' Meta said in a press release. Spoiler text can also be useful in other circumstances, like blurring out text or images that aren't violative, but still might be off-putting to some users. (Looking at my friend who shares #BruiseWatch updates after their Frisbee games.) As a feature that's currently in testing, spoiler text/images have not rolled out to all users. For those who have it, text or images can be marked as spoilers by highlighting them before posting, then selecting 'mark spoiler' from the menu that appears.
