I think you'd agree that when it comes to celebs that everyone seems to universally love, Pedro Pascal is probably near the top of that list.

The actor, who is best known for his roles as Din Djarin in The Mandalorian and Joel Miller in The Last of Us, has, of course, also been dubbed "daddy" by the internet.

And while Pedro has playfully embraced the title, he has also been open about the more degrading aspects that come with it.

Well, recently, Pedro was part of the Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actor Roundtable discussion — alongside Michael Imperioli, Kieran Culkin, Damson Idris, Jeff Bridges, and Evan Peters — where he was asked if he is having fun being called "daddy," after the moderator pointed out that 1.5 million things come up if you google his name and the word "daddy."

But before Pedro could answer, Kieran asked if he could be his daddy!

Laughing, Pedro responded, "Yeah, I am having fun with it." But he added, "It seems a little role-related, I think."

He went on to say, "The Mandalorian is very daddy to baby Grogu, and Joel is very daddy to Ellie. These are daddy parts. That's what it is."

When asked by Jeff Bridges if he was a daddy in real life, Pedro replied, "I'm not a daddy! And I'm not gonna be a daddy!!!"

To which Kieran replied, "I'm a daddy. And nobody likes my daddy parts" while shaking his head.

Kieran then jokingly added, "They like your daddy parts."

Unfortunately, Pedro never answered if he would be Kieran's daddy. You can watch the entire interview with all these gifted actors below:
