More recently, a TMZ paparazzo in West Hollywood asked Pascal about questions on LGBTQ+ themes in the actor’s hit series, ‘The Last of Us.’

“Can I ask: What do you say to the people who don’t want to see the LGBT character love stories?,” the paparazzo asked.

And to that, the actor briefly responded:

“They do!”

The paparazzo threw him another question, asking:

“Why is it so important that LGBTQ+ characters are on TV shows?”

“I think you’re asking the question because you know why it’s so important,” the 47-year-old actor answered.

Refusing to give up, the paparazzo insisted:

“Can you tell me why?”

And that’s when Pascal completely shut down the conversation by simply saying:

“You should know why.”

On the same day (March 5), the ‘The Last of Us’ actor posted photos of progress pride flags, and on the caption, he wrote what seems to be the answer to the paparazzo’s question, expressing:

“The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind. #LGBTQIA”

And that’s on PERIOD.
