Pedro Pascal, known for his roles in the TV shows “Narcos” and “The Mandalorian,” has made it clear that he is not interested in becoming a father. In an interview with Spanish-language publication Hola!, Pascal stated, “No soy un hombre que quiera tener hijos” (“I am not a man who wants to have children”).
Pascal’s decision is not uncommon, as more people are choosing to remain childfree for various reasons. However, his choice is noteworthy because it breaks from traditional societal expectations that men should want to have children and be fathers.
In the interview, Pascal also discussed his upbringing in Chile and how it has influenced his profession and family life. He expressed his gratitude for his parents’ support of his acting career, but acknowledged that their strict discipline was a challenge. He also shared that his niece and nephew are the closest thing he has to children, and that he enjoys being an uncle.
Pascal’s comments raise important questions about the expectation of parenthood for men, and challenge the notion that a fulfilling life must include children. As society continues to shift away from traditional gender roles and expectations, conversations like this one can promote greater understanding and acceptance of diverse life choices.
