14 of Pedro Pascal's Zaddiest Moments, in Honor of His 50th Birthday

Pedro Pascal is aging like fine wine.

The star, who turns 50 on April 2, 2025, has been dubbed a Zaddy on more occasions than one and in honor of his birthday, we're here to show you just a few reasons why.

From his signature red carpet style — including those iconic Met Gala shorts — to beachside drinks with friends, take a look back at some of our favorite photos of birthday boy Pedro Pascal.

Cheeky Smile

After landing a breakout role on Game of Thrones back in 2014, Pascal's star continued to rise as he landed leading roles in Narcos, The Mandalorian and The Last of Us.

Above, the actor is pictured at an FYC event for The Last of Us in 2023, where he pulled his signature smirk from under a pair of statement frames.

Sling Along

Even with an injury, the man managed to turn an arm sling into a sexy accessory while at the 2024 Golden Globes.

Beach Day

Just before the new year, Pascal enjoyed some fun in the sun with friends including LNA Clothing founder Lauren Alexander, who was kind enough to share this shot of Pascal sipping a coconut while shirtless.

Dynamic Duo

At the end of their faux award season feud, Pascal did what any gracious opponent would do and shared a selfie alongside Kieran Culkin — who beat him out for outstanding lead actor in a drama series at the Emmy Awards in January 2024.

Out of Character

Though he had us all swooning in his Mandalorian suit in the Disney+ series, the actor opted for a crotched see-through top and hot red pants for the show's London premiere in 2023.

A Leggy Moment

Speaking of bright red, Pascal was the talk of the town when he wore this daring ensemble that showed off his toned legs at the Met Gala in 2023.

Bottoms Up

While ringing in the new year in 2021, who better to celebrate with than his equally handsome Star Wars universe pal, Oscar Isaac?

Winner, Winner

Part of what makes Pedro Pascal so lovable is his ability to not take himself too seriously, despite his laundry list of accolades. His playful personality was on full display at the 2024 SAG Awards where he took home the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series.

In On the Joke

Let's not forget the time he got in on everyone's favorite SNL skit from last year, when he joined Marcello Hernández's Domingo and Bad Bunny's Santiago to make up three brothers who all have a connection to that infamous wedding party.

Show It Off

Even when he's fully covered up, he gives us a little something-something. Pascal wasn't afraid to show off a little chest in this sleek suit at BFI London Film Festival in October 2024.

Kiss For You

Clearly a lover boy, Pascal blew a kiss to the crowd of fans at a special event for The Last of Us Season 2 in Austin.

Strike a Pose

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so we'll let this one speak for itself.

Snow Day

With a few of his curls peaking out from under his beanie, Pascal pulled a funny face in this on-set BTS shot.

Buttoned Up

The man's got style. Pascal rocked a form-fitting turtleneck and blazer combo — and that signature soft smile — at the season 2 premiere of The Last of Us.
