• Pedro Pascal has opened up about how his late mother’s love and belief in him continue to guide his life and career, even after her passing. Through heartfelt tributes and his rise to fame, he honors her legacy while finding strength in family and resilience in grief.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Pedro Pascal, a beloved Hollywood star and internet sensation, has been making waves not just for his undeniable talent but also for his heartfelt openness about grief and gratitude. Known for his roles in blockbuster hits like The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, Pascal has captured hearts not only on screen but also with his deeply personal reflections on the loss of his mother, María Verónica Pascal Ureta. His journey is a story of resilience, love, and the enduring presence of family.

"I still feel her with me every day"

In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, Pascal opened up about losing his mother to suicide when he was just 24 years old. Verónica, a child psychologist, fled Chile with her family when Pascal was a baby, seeking safety and a brighter future. Despite her tragic passing, Pascal shared how he continues to feel her presence guiding him through life’s challenges, including his rise to fame.

“I still feel like I’m being mothered sometimes. I feel her witness all around me,” Pascal said. “I don’t feel like any of this right now would be happening if it weren’t for her.”

Pascal’s reference to “any of this” points to his remarkable career trajectory, which has seen him transform from a struggling actor to a household name. With blockbuster movies and hit series under his belt, the 50-year-old is finally reaping the rewards of years of hard work — and he credits much of it to his mother’s unwavering belief in him.

Paying tribute through his work and life

Pascal has never shied away from honoring his mother’s memory. On what would have been her birthday in February 2021, he shared a touching post on Instagram celebrating her life and legacy. "Mom, here you are in Denmark at 22," he wrote in Spanish, reflecting on her courage as a young refugee and mother of four. "Not a day goes by that you are not with us, and we thank you for that."

His tribute didn’t stop there. During an emotionally charged week preparing to host Saturday Night Live for the first time in February 2023, Pascal found himself leaning on his mother’s memory for strength. The episode coincided with the anniversary of her passing, making the moment even more profound.

“I just felt like my mother was there,” he revealed to Vanity Fair. “It was a complete transformation of an anniversary.” Late at night, after hours of rehearsals, he reflected on their bond, saying, “I love you. I miss you. Thank you. I’m scared. I would love it if you would help me believe in myself, because I know you do.”

Finding family in grief

Beyond his mother’s influence, Pascal has drawn incredible strength from his siblings: older sister Javiera, younger sister Lux, and younger brother Nicolás. Losing their mother deepened his already strong protective instincts for his younger siblings. “They were very young kids,” he told Esquire earlier this year. “I always wanted to be like, I’m here.”

This kind of familial closeness has also shaped Pascal’s approach to his career. Known for supporting fellow actors and crew members on set, he often channels his mother’s compassionate spirit into everything he does. Fans have noticed, with many pointing to his kindness and humility as what truly sets him apart.

A story of hope and healing

As Pedro Pascal continues to reach new heights, he remains grounded by his mother’s legacy and the love of his family. His story is a moving reminder that even in grief, there is space for growth, joy, and connection. For those who’ve experienced loss, Pascal’s words offer hope: the people we love are never truly gone — they live on in the ways they’ve shaped us.
