Posing on the red carpet might seem like just another day in the office for most celebrities. ButPedro Pascal, who probably has covered hundreds of red carpets in his career thus far, still might feel the jitters from time to time.
The Last of Usstar posed on the red carpet with costarBella Ramseyand pulled out his signature go-to pose.
Here’s a baby-faced Pedro making the same pose in 2014 at aGame of Thronespremiere:
Here he is in 2016 with BFFSarah Paulsonat the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
He even once gently recreated the pose onNarcoscostar Boyd Holbrook at the Golden Globes.
And here he is doing it again with his on-screen best friend, the great Nicholas Cage, for a screening ofThe Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent.
The pose even made its way to this year’sMet Gala.
At a recentThe Last of Usevent, Bella noticed Pedro’s habit of placing his hand across his stomach when posing for photos.
When she curiously asked why, Pedro gave an endearing and honest answer. Hereplied, “You know why? Because my anxiety is right here.”

Pedro’s candid answer about the pose came as a surprise, since being open about a topic as sensitive as mental health can be quite hard. But Ricks Warren, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan, told theHuffington Postthat acceptance is a healthy response. “People put themselves down for being anxious,” he explained, “Accept yourself with anxiety and notice that you’re not alone.”

While this is in no way a cure for anxiety, we are glad to know Pedro has found a technique that works for him and also, looks great doing it.
FYI, like the on-screen chameleon that he is, he also knows how to have fun on a red carpet.
What’s not to love about Pedro?
Well, there are plenty of reasons, and according to fans online, this revelation only tops the cake.
Just when I consider I ca n’t love him more
Some fans praised the way Pedro broke down barriers in masculinity with his response.
i fuck how pedro pascal breaks down the barrier for men who go through things that are so nullified by a certain group of society.he ’s so open about everything he supports and believes in , he ’s so exposed about anxiety and mourning and i love that about him ! 🥹
And praised his multi-facetedness:
‘ My anxiety is right here’ . I so deep adore Pedro Pascal and his willingness to be comical and ridiculous and excited and strong and sensitive.https://t.co/Sdrj3KkZB5
Then there was this one fan who thought Pedro was hungry but still would like to protect him at all costs, which we understand.
And for some, even just looking at Pedro is soothing enough.

The consensus: Pedro is just good vibes all around.
