Fans can't get enough as 'Internet daddy' Pedro Pascal's high school photos surface online
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Internet’s favorite ‘Daddy’, 'The Last of Us' star Pedro Pascal, who has carved a niche for himself by playing disinterested father figures who end up caring too much, is recently in the news - for all the good reasons. Recently, a TikToker named Bella shared a yearbook photo of ‘The Mandalorian’ star who was a classmate of the TikToker’s mother.
Even though Bella’s mother is now happily married to someone else, she used to be very close to the ‘The Last of Us’ star. The TikToker used the video-sharing platform to show a black-and-white montage of old-school children’s photographs that also included the photo of the ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ star. She captioned on the top of the photo, “Every time I remember my mom was friends with Pedro in high school.”

In the caption to the video, Bella also wrote, “I crack open this yearbook about once a month” with a slew of hashtags. The yearbook also contained a long message by the ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ actor as he gave Bella’s mother his autograph with specific instructions to “Keep this!” written beside.
The message also contains the actor’s promise to bring Bella’s mother to the Academy Awards as his “first date”. Even though the ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ star attended this year’s gala as a presenter, he attended the award show with his sister Javiera Balmaceda.
This is, however, not the end of the revelations. Bella also shared with her 14 million followers the graduation card the megastar gave to her mother upon completion of high school.
In another clip shared by the TikToker, one could see Bella’s mother and Pascal’s photograph from their school days.
‘Peter Balmaceda’
In 2020, another photo from Pedro Pascal’s school years made the rounds of the Internet as a user posted his photo from a school yearbook on TikTok. The photo had his name written below as Peter Balmaceda (while Balmaceda is his paternal surname, Pascal is his maternal one). In accordance with the US style of writing names, Chilean Pedro became Peter in English.
‘He coulda been your dad, but he’ll always be our Daddy’
Following the video, Bella’s TikTok got filled with interesting comments. One user commented, “THE WAY HE PUT ‘KEEP THIS,'” before adding, “How did he know.” Another user commented, “HOW DO WE REUNITE THEM”. “He kinda seems down bad for her — did they keep in touch?!?” asked one curious viewer. One user quoted from the note, “Promise you won’t forget me and you’ll be my first date to the Academy Awards”. Another comment read, "He coulda been your dad, but he’ll always be our Daddy."
‘I am your cool, sl***y daddy’
Earlier this year, Pascal became an internet sensation when he accepted the name given to him by the netizens. On being told by the interviewer, “You know you’re the daddy of the Internet, right?” the Chilean-American star replied, “Yep, I am your cool, sl***y daddy.”
