Who is Pedro Pascal's sister Lux?
Lux Pascal is a 30-year-old actor living and studying in New York.
Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal celebrated his sister Lux on February 10, 2021, after she came out as transgender in an edition of Ya - a Spanish language magazine.
She was formerly known as Lucas Balmaceda but revealed she decided to change her name after doing some soul-searching during lockdown.
She said she realized she had been so focused on her professional career and finishing her acting studies that she had not dedicated time to growing as a person.
“It’s almost something that they expected to happen.”
What has Pedro Pascal said about her transition?
Pedro Pascal has always been supportive of trans rights and his Twitter profile has him/his on it.
The 47-year-old posted a sweet message to his sister on his Instagram alongside the magazine’s cover.
He wrote: “Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux,” which translates to “my sister, my heart, our Lux.”
He reportedly schooled his co-star Gina Corano when she appeared to make fun of the topic on Twitter.
In November 2020, she made light of people including their preferred pronouns on social media by adding “beep/bop/boop” to her Twitter bio, which many fans called out as transphobic.
What is her profession and is she dating?
Like her brother, Lux is also an actor.
She is currently studying acting at the famous Julliard School in New York City and is expected to graduate in 2023.
She studied at BFA in acting in the theater conservatory at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, according to an online article.
