Actress Lux Pascal is opening up about the unwavering support she shares with her brother, Pedro Pascal, and the powerful lesson she’s learned from the beloved actor. The pair are known for being inseparable and Lux has been photographed next to Pedro on multiple occasions on the red carpet, most recently at Cannes Film Festival.
In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter at Madrid’s Platino Awards, Lux, 32, reflected on Pedro’s kindness, both on and off camera. “I’m incredibly proud,” she said about her brother’s success, which includes his role in 'The Last of Us' and an upcoming appearance in Marvel’s 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.'

Lux described Pedro as someone who “wears all of his humanity on his sleeve” and “doesn’t hide who he is.” She credits him for inspiring her authenticity.
