Pedro Pascal has been praised by fans for his 50th birthday outfit after fans spotted a heartwarming detail on his T-shirt.
The Last Of Us star, 50, celebrated the milestone earlier this month with a big party in London, which was headlined by DJ Honey Dijon, with a slew of other guests in attendance including Russell Tovey and his sister Lux.
But fans were more interested in what the actor was wearing – a white T-shirt with the slogan ‘Protect the dolls,’ which refers to transgender women.
Pedro posed for a snap with DJ Dijon at the bash showing off his T-shirt, as well as a black cap which reads ‘House of Dijon’.
The T-shirt is by American fashion designer Conner Ives, who said when it was released that all proceeds generated from the sale of it would go directly to the charity Trans Lifeline.
Fans rushed to X to shower Pedro in praise for supporting the community, writing: ‘He’s the best, he gets it.’

‘Protect the Dolls that’s right king! Support our sisters!’
‘The protect the dolls shirt is incredible I love him.’
‘Oh I need a Protect the Dolls tee!’
‘I love this man.’
‘He might be in the top 5 coolest men ever.’
‘OBSESSED W THIS????’
It’s not the first time Pedro has shown his support for the transgender community after earlier this year he posted the quote: ‘a world without trans people has never existed and never will’ on Instagram.
He added in his caption: ‘I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.’
Pedro’s sister Lux is also transgender, 32, after coming out and transitioning back in 2021.

The actor has previously admitted he’s fierecely protective of his sister, and he’s won praise from fans for his LGBTQ advocacy.
However, he admits that Lux is a ‘powerful’ personality and doesn’t need to rely on him for supporting, saying: ‘I need her more than she needs me.’
He told Esquire: ‘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.’
It comes just after Pedro finally addressed his ‘insane’ coffee order – after it was revealed that he drinks six sH๏τs of espresso over ice.
Speaking on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show this week, the Last Of Us star recalled the interaction with a fan while walking in New York City in 2023.
The delighted fan had shared footage of their interaction to her TikTok account, and attentive viewers were quick to notice that Pedro’s Starbucks coffee cup revealed his coffee order on the cup’s sticker.
It turns out, he got an iced quad – which is four sH๏τs of espresso – however, it appears that he had two extra sH๏τs put into the already-strong drink.
‘Quad expresso. In a Venti cup. Extra ice. Six sH๏τs,’ the order on his receipt read, as Pedro was pictured holding the impressive drink.

The revelation caused meltdown on the internet, as people branded his choice ‘violent’ and ‘chaotic’, while others joked they would have to try it for themselves.
Two years on and he’s addressed the viral moment for the first time, even saying he felt ‘violated’ when it was leaked.
Bringing up picture evidence of the controversial coffee order, Kimmel said: ‘This was a viral thing! We’ve got your coffee order and then zeroed in on your order. We’ve got six, is that six extra sH๏τs or six total sH๏τs?’
To audience laughter, Pedro joked: ‘I cannot begin to tell you how violating this was. There is so much context to why it has become six sH๏τs of espresso.
‘It was always a quad but then I feel like the cups got bigger. And, I don’t know, the sH๏τs got less strong and at some point it became six.
‘And it was an incredibly private morning ritual that I never wanted anyone to know about. I don’t have more coffee for the rest of the day, I swear!’
‘You had it all in one big gulp,’ Kimmel replied, going on to brand Pedro’s coffee a ‘methaccino’.
But Pedro refused to back down and justified having so much caffeine at once, explaining: ‘It’s on ice, you sip it! You sip it, and then you get really high. And you answer emails and stuff.’
