Pedro Pascal has officially declared sleeves are for the weak.
The internet’s favorite Zaddy, 50-year-old Pedro Pascal, showed up to the Eddington photocall at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival looking like a walking thirst trap in a sleeveless shirt that screamed, “I did not skip arm day.” Pedro was there to promote his new film Eddington, but let’s be honest, his biceps did most of the talking.
Joining Mr. Arms Out were his co-stars Emma Stone (elegant in Louis Vuitton, obviously), Joaquin Phoenix (probably brooding), Austin Butler (still slightly Elvis-coded), Luke Grimes (of Yellowstone hotness), Micheal Ward, and Clifton Collins Jr. Oh, and let’s not forget writer/director Ari Aster, who may or may not be responsible for the emotional trauma we’re about to experience in this film.
Now, what is Eddington about, you ask? Let me hit you with the Cannes-approved synopsis: “In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Phoenix) and mayor (Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.” So basically, it’s like Parks and Rec if it was written during a caffeine-fueled existential crisis.
The cast strutted their stuff at the premiere the day before, but this photocall? This was Pedro’s runway. Those arms? Front and center. That sleeveless fit? The real MVP.
Eddington hits theaters July 18 — but if you’re not showing up just to see Pedro Pascal flexing both his political authority and his triceps, we don’t know what to tell you.
