People Applaud Pedro Pascal After Spotting Special T-shirt Detail on His 50th Birthday
Celebrities often find small ways to make big statements. Whether it’s through a choice of words, a splash of color, or a simple slogan on a T‑shirt, those details can speak volumes. Pedro Pascal showed precisely how that works when he marked his 50th birthday with a clear message of solidarity.
At the start of this month, Pascal celebrated his half-century by throwing a party that included some of his closest friends and collaborators. Among the guests were transgender DJ Honey Dijon, actors Russell Tovey and Dino Fetscher, and other familiar faces from film and television.
In one photo posted to Instagram, Pascal stands beside Dijon, casually dressed in a button‑up that reads “protect the dolls.” The phrase is a nod to the trans community, which fans instantly picked up on and applauded.
Across social media, people reacted with enthusiasm. On X, one fan wrote, “He’s so adorable wtfff.” Another added, “He makes my day, I swear.” A third user even confessed, “OBSESSED W THIS????”
Someone else joked that they’d never clicked “order” so fast on a piece of merch. It’s clear Pascal’s choice struck a chord: a simple shirt turned into a moment of public support that felt both genuine and celebratory.
Pedro and Lux Pascal
Pascal’s advocacy isn’t new. He’s long been vocal about transgender rights, in part because his own family story touches on it. His sister Lux, now 31, is transgender, and Pascal has spoken openly about the role she’s played in his life.
Last year, in an interview with Esquire, he said, “I wouldn’t want to speak on her behalf. But she is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I’ve ever known. My protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.”
That protective instinct comes from deep respect and love, not from a desire to overshadow her own journey.
Everyone praised Pascal after his birthday party.
Lux has shared how much her brother’s support meant when she was first finding her footing. In a conversation with Chilean magazine Revista Ya, she recalled that Pascal was among the first to give her tools to explore her identity.
When she told him about her transition over FaceTime, he paused, asked how she felt, and then said, “Perfect, this is incredible.” For Lux, those simple questions and that enthusiastic response were the start of something big, a reminder that acceptance often begins with listening.
Pascal turned 50 and celebrated the milestone.
While his birthday shirt made headlines, Pascal also recently addressed another bit of buzz: the idea that he and Jennifer Aniston might be more than friends.
Page Six reported that he and Aniston spent three hours together at the Tower Bar in West Hollywood, fueling rumors of a possible romance or even a new on‑screen pairing for The Morning Show. When Entertainment Tonight asked him about it, he laughed off the speculation. “We’re just very good friends,” he said.
“I got to have dinner on Saturday. It was a fun martini dinner.” And when a reporter teased that he couldn’t even have a drink without everyone talking, Pascal smiled and offered a humble reply: “That’s her starlight. I’m just basking in it.”
Turning fifty doesn’t mean slowing down, and for Pascal, the next chapter looks like it will blend meaningful causes with a sense of humor. Whether he’s championing transgender rights, celebrating family milestones, or sharing a cocktail with a friend, he keeps it real and lets his shirt do some of the talking.
