The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal has launched a full-throttled attack against President Trump and his supporters.
Addressing a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, Pascal went on a rant against the current U.S. administration.
“Fuck the people that try to make you scared,” Pascal said. “And fight back. And don’t let them win.”
Pascal, who has previously described himself as a “socialist refugee” whose family fled Chile under the rule of ugusto Pinochet, went on to share his sob story about how he fears for the welfare of immigrants.
“Obviously, it’s very scary for an actor participating in a movie to sort of speak to issues like this,” Pascal about Trump’s efforts to stop illegal immigration.
“I want people to be safe and to be protected, and I want very much to live on the right [side] of history.”
“I’m an immigrant. We fled a dictatorship, and I was privileged enough to grow up in the US, after asylum in Denmark.
“If it weren’t for that, I don’t know what would have happened to us,” he continued. “So I stand by those needing protection, always.”

The 50-year-old actor, who is best known for playing tough guy roles in shows such as Narcos, Game of Thrones and The Mandalorian, has previously compared the policies of the Trump administration to Nazi Germany.
These comparisons have been brought into focus by former Mandalorian actress Gina Carano, who last year teamed up with Elon Musk to sue Disney for discrimination and wrongful termination.
A key argument of her lawsuit is the double standard applied to Carano, who was fired after comparing the COVID vaccine tyranny to the treatment of Jews in the 1930’s.
Pascal, who has since deleted these posts, was nevereven reprimanded for his comments.
