The Beard Controversy
When Pedro Pascal was cast as Joel in The Last of Us, many fans were surprisingly concerned about one thing: his beard. The appearance of the character is also unveiled by the author of the text through the description of the villain.
I know you may find this hard to believe but well, yes, you have read it correctly. Instead of concern for the appropriateness of his professional acting, fanboys and girls cared most about whether he could grow a proper stellar beard a la Joel from the game.
Fan Expectations
Hopefully, the numerous player base that has been heavily invested in the video game series was also eager to see the translated translation of the show. Craig Mazin, the showrunner behind HBO’s ‘Chernobyl,’ has disclosed that there were some who didn’t think much of the series because of ‘Pascal’s beard. ’
This demonstrates how engaging and fervent fans can be sometimes, how much effort they put into analyzing shows and actors.
Proving the Critics Wrong
Although critics began painfully discussing Pedro Pascal and his performance in the first episodes, gradually, his acting, on the
contrary, gained positive feedback. Joel was exceptionally well portrayed by Bill, and this demonstrated that it was not simply looks that could get him the part.Looking Ahead
The fact that The Last of Us secured more than one Emmy nominations and is preparing for subsequent seasons clearly indicates that Pascal was chosen right. The show is set to explore further one, with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey coming back for more of an odyssey.
