Pedro Pascal shared his strong regret about shaving his facial hair while filming Wonder Woman 1984, describing his clean-shaven look as something he found deeply unsettling. The actor revealed this during an interview on the agreement-based game “Agree To Disagree” with LADBible, where he appeared alongside his Fantastic Four co-star Vanessa Kirby.
Pascal explained that he usually grows facial hair but shaving it all off made him feel uncomfortable. He said,
“I grow such s–t facial hair, but if I were to shave it all off, I really look very…”
revealing his displeasure with the clean-shaven transformation, and later added,
“Strongly disagree with a clean shaven me,”
emphasizing his dissatisfaction.
On-Screen Transformation and the Actor’s Reaction
Vanessa Kirby, who was present during the conversation, disagreed with his harsh self-assessment. She said,
“I think you looks gorgeous — whatever,”
offering her supportive viewpoint despite Pascal’s disapproval. Kirby then asked about the last time he was clean-shaven, which prompted Pascal to recall his time working on the DC Extended Universe film alongside Gal Gadot.
Pascal described his experience as disheartening, saying,
“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,”
underscoring how the clean-shaven look left a lasting negative impression on him.
Professionalism Overrides Personal Preference
Despite these feelings, Pascal made clear that he would still shave again if required for a role.
“If they asked me to be clean shave for Fantastic Four and insisted then I would’ve done it,”
he admitted. He emphasized that the visual decisions for the characters in Fantastic Four were collaborative, stating,
“But it was a very collaborative creation for all of our looks in the movie.”
Maintaining the right appearance for their roles was important to the cast, which Pascal summed up with a touch of humor:
“And we needed to look good.”
The film Fantastic Four: First Steps is scheduled to release in theaters on July 25.
