If there’s one thing the internet consistently loves it’s the friendship between Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac. The two, who originally met in 2005 when they starred in an off-Broadway show The Beauty of the Father, became quick friends when they bonded over being Latinos in the entertainment industry.
“It’s gotten better, but at that point, it was so easy to be pigeonholed in very specific roles because we’re Latinos,” Isaac once told Variety. “It’s like, how many gang member roles am I going to be sent?”
From that stereotypical beginning, however, came a beautiful friendship. One that Pascal celebrated by posting a picture in honor of Isaac’s 46th birthday this past weekend. In the picture, taken by Elvira Lind, Isaac’s wife, the two men are enjoying a cuddle in front of a scenic backdrop, with Isaac cradling Pascal and smiling while he rests his head on his friend’s. They’re also holding hands over Pedro’s shoulders.
The reaction on social media was immediate, with a fan chiming in on X:
“nobody giving a damn:
me: Oscar Isaac hugging Pedro Pascal is symbolic both men went through struggles as Latino’s in Hollywood and formed such a bond it’s a brother hood it’s pure love it’s special it’s warm it’s what our world needs”
And someone on Reddit saying: “More hot celebrity men known for playing tough guy/bad ass/strong man characters displaying ultra non-toxic masculinity please 🩷”
Another Reddit comment read: “I’m sorry, but the look in Pedro’s eyes is breaking me. Platonic relationships are so important and I love how much he celebrates his. Cherish the people around you, love and let them love you. ❤️❤️❤️”
While X had this quote:
“He’s the younger brother I never wanted”
