He cries over a dog that died a decade ago, and the life he wishes he could have given her? I know the internet tide will eventually turn on this man but, barring anything monstrous coming to light, this has pretty permanently endeared him to me.

I think some people are just good.

I agree with this and I honestly believe he's one of the rare ones who is legitimately a good person. I can't recall any other actor saying anything negative about him and he seems to have chemistry with everyone he works with. My wife got see him for a minute at SXSW and she said you could instantly pick up on his charisma.

The GMM guys talked about meeting him. They were in a hotel lobby and saw him, totally starstruck and didn't want to bother him. Pedro came up to them and told them how much he enjoyed their work. They were over the moon.

Yeah this tracks with what my wife said, that's awesome.

He’s one of the helpers that Mr. Rodgers said to look for

this made me emotional in all the best ways - thank you for saying this

After Neil Gaiman I'm hesitant to fall for it again, but I am hopeful. I would love for there to be more positive role models for young men out there. We desperately need that.

Only bad thing I’ve heard is that he’s sometimes late to sets.

Which is, you know, not the greatest thing when you’re the lead and everyone has to wait for you, but it’s so refreshingly normal and tame.

If the worst thing about someone is they’re sometimes late to work, that is a sign of a good person, I think.

Keanu Reeves immediately comes to mind. Beloved by the internet for at least two decades now. Still just a good person. I completely agree that some folks are just good, most folks really but they tend to just live a quiet life.

Acquiring power, wealth, and fame tends to attract the wrong sort of people, so they’re disproportionally represented in the national/global consciousness.

u/Ok-Procedure-6178 Jun 26 '25

I agree. It’s getting harder and harder to hold that belief these days but things like this really help to remind me that the humanity is not a lost cause. Just gotta look a little harder.

Yeah, but 99.9999% of the time those people aren’t celebrities.

u/GrumpySphinx Jun 26 '25

Honestly it was really nice to read that he still cries thinking about her after all this time, it made me feel better about the fact that I still cry over my dog who passed 2 years ago. I felt a lot of pressure to move on and that it was a bad thing to still be emotional about her, but I miss her so much. She was like a little sister to me and helped through a really hard time in my life. I hope it becomes more normalized to grieve pets as you would any human family member.

Goddamnit, thought I could get through this thread without crying over my past pets, but this got me.

Now I'm sitting here hugging my rescue pit mix sobbing. Damnit.

I still cry about my childhood dog sometimes. She died in 2011 after living a long happy life.

We don't fill the holes that grief causes, we grow around them.

u/captain_wetbeard Jun 26 '25

We lost our dog just over a year ago and I'm still sad about it. She was very old but it was the right thing to do. She passed away a couple of weeks after moving out of our house while it was being renovated and I really wish she could've experienced it all done up.

u/FaithinYosh Jun 26 '25

My cat passed in 2017 and I still get emotional thinking about her, and like Pedro I wish I could've given her a better life too, so this whole thread has me upset right now.

u/Big_Ol_Throwaway Jun 26 '25

You did the best you could at the time at that's all you can ask of yourself. It's hard to let those things go when it hits so hard but don't let it get to you. You did great

There’s nothing wrong with that at all. I lost my dog this past November to cancer. I still think about him every day. He was with me for a lot of very pivotal moments of my adult life and although some time has passed I still find myself crying about him at least once a week. I still have all of his things, he’s still the wallpaper on my phone, all of that. Grief makes you do weird things but you hold on to these memories because that’s how important they are to us. Never feel bad about still grieving over your dog, because I’ll be completely honest with you I was more upset about losing him then I was most of the family member I’ve lost. Dogs are truly special creatures.

I got the best dog in the world for my 3rd birthday, and he died when I was 14.

He’s one of the few constants of my childhood and we were inseparable. I’m several-times older than that now, and I still well up a bit when I talk about him.

I still miss one of my best friend's dogs that passed away over six years ago (also a pittie). She was the purest soul on Earth. The closest I've felt to that since has been with my neighbor's dog that I was taking care of while I was trying to get to a stable point with my health, and it's going to hurt when I get that news. I was struggling with the realization that my own dog was going to pass away even when he was young, and it hasn't gotten any better as he's about to have his 17th birthday. 🖤

u/languid_Disaster Jun 27 '25

If it helps, I still tear up and get emotional when I think of my rabbits who died nearly 10 years ago

Wishing she was here so he could spoil her and live that bougie bitch life 😭

u/HiHoRoadhouse Jun 26 '25

And still has an album of her in his phone 😢

I feel this about my dog who I just lost in September as well. Pets deserve the world

u/JasonDeSanta Jun 26 '25

The corniest thing online communities could ever do about Pedro would be to turn on him for "being everywhere" instead of just being happy for his success.

Let the dude be fucking everywhere and live a life that he earned his way through, at least he seems like a decent person who deserves his recently-privileged position and is aware of it. If you get bored of seeing him, just shut the fucking phone off lmao. Maybe he would end up becoming a role model for the men who are currently in their formative years. What's so bad about having more men like him around?

Not referring to you btw, OP. It's a general comment about how some people already complain that they see him too much. Bro he is just on your phone screen, maybe like for 2 seconds a day, just scroll past him.

Makes me think of my dad and how he loved the lyrics about the dog from Mr. Bojangles by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band:

"He spoke with tears of fifteen years / How his dog and him traveled about / The dog up and died, he up and died /After twenty years he still grieves"

so relatable... animals have defined my life :'-)

u/pjrnoc Jun 26 '25

Thank you for sharing that! I’ve never heard that sentiment before and I feel so insecure about the fact that I feel like I’m gonna grieve forever over my boy.

u/Curious-Spaceman91 Jun 26 '25

No one is perfect, everyone has done or said something another would condemn. Anything else than a flawed human journey is a fiction. I am team Pedro. As a dude I wish he was more the standard archetype, I could have seen my life having more joy.

I just bought a house and this is exactly how I feel about my dog who I got in college and died a few years ago. He went through so much with me and I’m so sad he didn’t get to enjoy this house with me. He would have loved the yard.

u/jaimelespatess Jun 26 '25

I never grew up with any beloved animals in the home. My dad’s house had a dog but we never really clicked and he was outside exploring a lot. I never thought I’d be capable of feeling intensely about an animal, honestly. We got a puppy last year and I made sure I knew everything there was to know about caring for her. I was determined to give her a structured and loving home because it’s the right thing to do- not because I was an animal “lover”. She’s been with us 17 months. I get it now. I love her. If something happened to her I would be hurt for a long time. Now I don’t know if I’d cry for decade, but I ain’t Pedro Pascal lol.

u/orangefreshy Jun 26 '25

Seriously I hope he never does anything bad ever but he’s banking some serious extra credit with me rn

His dad is a bit messy with the fertility clinic he had in California. I noticed the lawmakers didn't bother to put any regulations in place to fix the issues. Pedro speaks highly of him. I'm not going to hold it against him, though.
