A series of Instagram Stories posted by clothing designer Lauren Alexander on December 25 has sent the internet into a frenzy, as it seems like she assembled a truly epic group of people to spend Christmas with ā including Gladiator star Pedro Pascal.
The jealousy-inducing set of snaps showed her hanging out at the beach with Pascal, as well as composer Brandon Campbell and LGBTQ+ singer and actor Omar Apollo, who recently starred alongside Daniel Craig in Luca Guadagnino’s Queer. Talent agent Franklin Latt also made an appearance.
In one of the photos, a shirtless Pedro Pascal can be seen smiling in a smouldering sort of way while reading Olga Tokarczuk’s Don’t Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, a subversive feminist mystery novel originally published in Polish.
In another, he and Game of Thrones composer Brandon Campbell can be seen enjoying some fresh coconuts, and in a third Pedro Pascal, Franklin Latt and Omar Apollo are seen posing side by side, with Latt in a santa hat.
Pascal’s a big fan of a beach trip. In May he told People that his “perfect summer dayāĀ is one spent on the beach āwith friends and with good music.āĀ Apparently the same goes for winter, too.

The set of photos – particularly the one of Pascal reading shirtless – went very viral on Gay Twitter, as we still insist on calling it, with one fan joking: “These beach photos of Pedro Pascal that are everywhere are affecting my emotional and physical wellbeing.”

2024 has been a big year for Pascal professionally, topped off by the fact that gay hookup app Grindr recently named him āHottest Man of the Yearā
In fifth place for āHottest Man of the Yearā wasĀ The BearĀ star Jeremy Allen White, who is just below Travis Kelce in fourth and Bad Bunny in third, with Jonathan Bailey coming second.
That means that, list-wise, we can truthfully write these words: Pedro Pascal topped Jonathan Bailey in 2024.
