Washington DC [US], July 23 : Pedro Pascal has long rocked facial hair throughout his career, but there was one role that required him to go clean-shaven. However, he was so "appalled" by the way he looked that he never thought of trying it again for any other role, reported Variety.
"I grow such shit facial hair, but if I were to shave it all off... I really look very [awful]. Strongly disagree with a clean-shaven me," Pascal said, adding, "I was so appalled by the way I look in 'Wonder Woman 1984.' I loved the movie, but I was so appalled by the way that I looked that I never went back unless it was completely necessary. If they asked me to be clean-shaven for 'Fantastic Four' and insisted, then I would've done it. But it was a very collaborative creation for all of our looks in the movie," as per the outlet.
