Pedro Pascal takes backstage to sister Lux at 'Gladiator II' debut
Fans are joking that Pedro Pascal was "the plus-one" to his younger sister Lux at the premiere of his film "Gladiator II" in London after the actress drew all the attention of photographers.
The new "Gladiator" is hitting theatres. Canadian audiences have been able to buy tickets to Ridley Scott's film screenings for several days now. Considering how quickly tickets are selling out and the high level of interest in the production, it could be a real hit at the end of 2024 and a contender for several Oscars. Critics are talking about a grand spectacle that leaves you in awe. The official premiere with star participation occurred in London, and Pedro Pascal was present.

Transgender actress Lux Pascal supported her older brother Pedro Pascal at the film premiere in London's Leicester Square. In a stunning black gown with daring cutouts, Lux quickly garnered numerous compliments on social media, with many fans wanting to learn more about the actor's sister.
Lux publicly announced her transgender identity in 2021, appearing on the cover of the Chilean magazine "Ya." She started hormone therapy in July of the previous year, and her family fully supported her. "It was something very natural for everyone in my family," Lux said at the time.
Pedro has always been an essential part of her life. When Lux told her brother about her transition over FaceTime, he asked her how she felt. "For everyone in my family, my transition has been something very natural," Lux recalls. Pedro also shared warm words for his sister on Instagram, writing: "My sister, my heart, our Lux."
The youngest of the siblings, Lux, followed in her brother's footsteps by starting her own acting career. She graduated from the prestigious Juilliard School in 2023 and has acted in productions such as "The Prince," "Invisible Heroes," and the Chilean series "Los 80". She also appeared alongside Pedro in "Narcos" and worked as a model.
On the red carpet, Lux often accompanies her brother, supporting him at various events, including the Emmy Awards. At the "Gladiator 2" premiere, fans were thrilled with her appearance, joking that Pedro was reduced to the role of Lux's "plus-one". "Lux Pascal stole the show! No one looks at Pedro when she's around," was the talk on social media.
