“I was such a huge fan of yours”: the comment that sums up the pain of thousands of Argentine fans today 💔 Pedro Pascal, the Chilean actor from The Last of Us, went from idol to public enemy in Argentina within hours. 🇦🇷 All because of a simple Instagram “like”.
On July 20, 2026, after the World Cup final in which Spain defeated Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Pascal liked a video celebrating the Albiceleste’s defeat with a message alluding to accusations of racism against Argentine fans.
The screenshots immediately went viral, and the comments filled with complaints: “If there’s anyone I didn’t expect this from, it was you; it hurts because I was such a huge fan of yours”, one user wrote. Another was more direct: “It’s a shame that, being Chilean, you choose to feed off hatred”.
What hurt the most was the contrast: some time ago, on a red carpet, Pascal himself had said he had family in Argentina and supported the national team.
Now he shares the trans-Andean “blacklist” with Samuel L. Jackson and Rosalía. To this day, the actor has not said a single word. Should he explain himself, or does the silence already say it all?
