This Thread of Pedro Pascal as Mushrooms is the Wholesome Content We Deserve

Unless you've been living under an Earth-sized rock, you're probably aware that Pedro Pascal is having a bit of a moment. Between his gruff, fatherly role as Joel in The Last of Us, those unnerving Merge Mansion advertisements, and that 'Nicolas Cage Looking At Pedro Pascal' meme, he's been all over ALL of our screens. Not that we're complaining.

The actor is the man of the moment. People are proclaiming him both "Daddy" and "Zaddy," and it's not hard to see why. Between his arguably attractive appearance, his acting ability and kind, funny, and thoughtful interviews and off-screen moments, he's almost at a Keanu level of obsession. When stars reach these levels of popularity - and are the subject of the Internet's parasocial relationships - we usually start to see some silly content from rabid fans. Though some of that content is admittedly terrible, every now and then we come across some gems that make us smile. And this thread from @pandamoanimum, in which she presents Pedro Pascal along with his mushroom doppelgangers, falls into that category.

Some people may ask "Why?" They'd have every right to wonder both what the point of the thread is, and wonder why we're sharing it. In response, we invite you to join the camp of "Why not?" and enjoy the ride.
