Pascal: ‘I Was So Appalled by the Way I Look’ in ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ That ‘I’ve Never Gone Back’ to Being Clean Shaven for an Acting Role

Movie star Pedro Pascal faced off against his “Fantastic Four” co-star and Oscar nominee Vanessa Kirby during LADbible’s “Agree to Disagree” video series, in which they were asked to debate which is sexier: Mustaches or beards?
Pascal has long rocked facial hair throughout his career, but there was one role that required him to go clean shaven.
That was the villainous Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984, Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot’s disappointing superhero sequel that released to theaters and HBO MAX on Christmas Day 2020.
“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. “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 have gone back unless it were completely necessary.
If they asked me to be clean shave 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.”
