An old video of Pedro Pascal started circulating again on social media and unleashed a wave of criticism.
The footage was recorded in January 2024, during the ceremony in which Willem Dafoe received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
After paying tribute to his friend, Pascal approached Giada Colagrande, the actor’s wife, took her face in both hands, and caressed her chin while smiling. Dafoe reacted by pointing at him and immediately changed his expression.
The moment divided opinions: while some interpreted the gesture as a show of affection, others considered it inappropriate.
