Is Pedro Pascal gay? 

Pascal has long been a supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights, as evidenced by his Instagram feed. In 2017, people started to speculate he was gay after he gave an exclusive interview to Los Angeles Times, in which he said, “Straight men can have—do have—crushes on other men. It doesn’t make them gay, it doesn’t make them bi.” Revealing more about his middle school days he said, “The guys that picked on me in middle school in Corona del Mar probably have a crush on me now. Maybe they had a crush on me then and that’s why they picked on me.”



 

Moreover, rumors about his sexual orientation increased after it came to light that he has a very friendly relationship with 'Star Wars' actor, Oscar Issac. Both the actors flaunt their friendship on Instagram frequently and Pascal once called Issac the "love of his life" in Spanish in one Instagram caption. Despite their long-standing friendship, neither has admitted to a romantic engagement with the other nor even recognized the fanfare that has surrounded their supposed romance.

Pedro Pascal’s dating history

Pascal has been the subject of numerous rumors regarding alleged relationships with prominent ladies, some of whom he has worked with. Let us take a look at some of them. 

Robin Tunney 

Pascal was rumored to be dating 'The Mentalist' actress Robin Tunney in 2015. The rumor began when they were both seen leaving Los Angeles' Sushi Park Restaurant in 2015. However, neither of them has ever admitted to the relationship.

Lena Headey

Pascal and his 'Game of Thrones' co-star Headey were frequently seen together in 2014. Moreover, Headey announced in February 2015 that she was expecting her second child, sparking speculation that Pascal was the father. However, in a New York Times interview, Headey confessed that the girl's father was her now-husband, Dan Cadan, a director she had known since childhood.

Sarah Paulson

Another prominent lead actress said to have dated Pascal was his longtime pal Paulson. 'The American Horror Story' veteran has known Pascal for years and was essential in his casting as Oberyn Martell in the first place. Despite the rumors, the two are still good friends. Paulson is presently dating actress Holland Taylor, with whom she has been linked to since 2015.

Maria Dizzia

Pascal had a confirmed relationship with ‘Law and Order’ star Maria Dizzia as the pair reportedly started dating in 1990. Although there is no clear evidence of how long they dated, it was reportedly for a very brief period.

Final Verdict

Even though Pascal has never spoken about his own sexuality, it is very difficult to deduce he was gay just because he is an active supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community. For now, let's watch 'The Last of Us' to see his stellar performance.
