However, he has maintained a strong connection with his family in Chile and has visited the country frequently. In addition, he has shown a great interest in Chilean culture and has spoken publicly about his love for Chilean food, especially avocado.
In conclusion, Pedro Pascal is a Chilean actor who has achieved great success in Hollywood, which has generated great pride and admiration in his native country.
