Pedro Pascal Reveals He's Been Relying On 'The Basics' To Get Himself In Better Shape During Interview
On April 18th, Pedro and other actors made appearances at the 'Star Wars Celebration' in Tokyo, Japan, to promote upcoming projects related to the legendary fantasy franchise, including the upcoming film he'll be starring in, The Mandalorian & Grogu.
He hit the red carpet in a dress shirt and shorts outfit, which he notably accessorized with tall brown leather boots. While posing at the event, he stopped to speak with Entertainment Tonight about his workout routine and fitness journey after the interviewer told him he was looking "wonderful" these days.
"My workout routine is just the basics," admitted Pedro. "Get up, do something, stay busy, eat right, [and] get sleep."
When the interviewer teased the actor about his caffeine habits, referencing the six shots of espresso he was caught toting around one day, he joked that it was a "very personal" aspect of his routine.
This is not the first time the actor has acknowledged his transformation, as he's been outspoken about all the training and workouts he had to complete before filming the intense, action-packed film Gladiator II last year.
"I was under no single directive from the movie to get in any kind of shape, but I did, mainly so that I wouldn't get hurt, and it didn't work," the actor told Entertainment Tonight last November.
"I got hurt anyway. I got stronger than I've ever been just so that I can play the character, really."
Fans Say Pedro Is 'Glowing' Following His Physical Transformation
Reporters aren't the only ones who have pointed out the Last Of Us star's weight loss and fit appearance, as his loyal fan base and other internet users have been expressing their happiness for him on social media. On TikTok, several users commented that Pedro was "glowing" in his recent interview at the Star Wars event.
"He actually looks incredible," wrote one user. "Shouldn't he be aging?"
When video footage of the interview regarding his workout routine went viral on Instagram, users flooded the comments section with words of support.
"I believe this is the most handsome he's looked yet," wrote a fan, with another adding that he's been looking "even better" recently.
Another fan of the Chile-born actor added that they appreciated how simple yet effective his response was to being asked about his exercise and fitness habits.
"I think his answer to the exercise question was very conscientious," wrote the follower.
"He's not putting impossible standards or goals on himself, and he knows people will watch this and be influenced by him, so his answer is realistic."
While Pedro didn't reveal too many intricate details about his workout routine or what he's been eating to lose fat, his response still proved to his fans how important basic self-care is and that when you're consistent with it, you can get 'glowing' results.
