Watch: Pedro Pascal Talks 'Daddy' Roles (and if He's a Daddy in Real Life)

"A Strange Way of Life" star Pedro Pascal, taking part in a roundtable discussion, tackled the question of whether his "daddy" roles reflect his real life.

The lead of shows like "The Mandalorian" and "The Last of Us" shared his views as part of a discussion put together by The Hollywood Reporter that also included "The Old Man" star Jeff Bridges, "Succession" star Kieran Culkin, "Snowfall" actor Damson Idris, "The White Lotus" Season 2 cast member Michael Imperioli, and Evan Peters of "American Horror Story" and "Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story."

The conversation had addressed the blessings of fatherhood for those with children; before THR brought up Pascal's "daddy" reputation to the actor.

"What I do know is if you google your name and 'daddy,' 1.5 million pages turn up," the outlet noted. "So, my question is ..."

Jumping in, Culkin said, "Will you be my daddy?"

"It seems a little role-related," Pascal said of the viral online notion. "There was a period where the Mandalorian is very daddy to baby Grogu, and Joel is very daddy to Ellie," he added, referencing "The Mandalorian" and "The Last of Us."

"These are daddy parts. That's what it is."

When Jeff Bridges posed the question of whether Pascal is a daddy in real life, Pascal declared, "I'm not a daddy," Entertainment Weekly relayed. Then, with a pointed look at the camera, as if to address viewers: "And I'm not gonna be a daddy!"

The discussion was jocular, with Culkin putting in, "Nobody likes my daddy parts," then telling Pascal, as the rest of the group laughed, "They like your daddy parts."

"Still, over the past year Pascal has fully leaned into all the daddiness," EW noted. "He previously told Entertainment Tonight that he was everyone's 'cool, slutty Daddy' and described being a daddy as 'a state of mind' during a Vanity Fair lie detector interview."
