Not in every one.

whenever Din took off his helmet (and believe me, i was yelling "nooo pedroooo! yesss pedrooo!" at the screen) i LOVED pedros work so much. imagine being this character, never shown your face to a living soul in 20+ years. you either forget how to express yourself or you've gotten so used to it, to just have your face what ever you feel (like an eyeroll, big grin in the wrong circumstances,...) PLUS the anxiety of people seeing you PLUS the going against his believes ... phew... put that in a couple of scenes, why dontya...!!! he did it so well and i was crying everytime (so i had to rewatch the scene to follow it, AND rewatch it, because he did it so well) Oh wow

[@magalymuniz9640]

Pedro Pascal the hero we need! He is always so nice and humble! Beautiful person inside and out! ❤️🤩 First for those saying he is not in the suit, you are wrong! He is and in season 2 more than the first of course and he said! In season 2 he is a lot! What does he have to take the Helmet to show you! 🙄. And even though the stunmen do an exceptional excellent job🙌🏻👏🏻, is Pedro who bring this character to life! ⭐️ And Pedro has always give Credits to Brendan and Lateef wherever he goes! He never had said he has done by himself! That people is call integrity and humbleness! And for those rumors about him and his helmet issue is a lied by a so called reporter lady who didn’t know how to put negativity and she chose to says lies about Pedro! Yes, The Mandalorian is what have brought Star Wars World to life! 🙌🏻❤️🎥 And for those saying he is not in season 3, just wait for big surprises! He is a multi talented actor that can do many projects at the same time! Pedro Pascal, The Mandalorian ❤️❤️👏🏻🎬 This is the Way!

That is true. There are still shots that prove it. And if one had watched Pedro's other works in movies or TV one could see the stance, the way he walks, his head movement. These are 'tells' that he is IN THE SUIT!!!!

I always said that a successful Star Wars story, with a full plot and world-building HAS TO BE a series. Yes the original trilogies were fun, but it has empty parts to it and I ended it feeling both unsatisfied and craving for more. It's a great teaser to the world, same for the prequels. Mando was the first Star Wars project I really enjoyed and learned a lot from. The lore is there and the series are great, but Mando got me to add a day to my trip to go to Galaxy's Edge.

[@archaeologyfornon-archaeol1014]

Mike Zeroh has the perfect name. That is the worst nonsense, yet people read it. This is not even close to the way Pedro Pascal acts and everyone so far describes him as kind, funny and lovely to work with. The directors and producers give him lots of time off and use him as a voice actor because he is so valuable and has a multitude of projects going. If they want to keep him, with his hyper busy schedule, they need to accommodate him.

[@tylerlikesmovies2245]

I heard the same thing. We’re gonna have to wait and see if it’s the truth. Apparently he is rarely in costume and simply does voice overs for the stunt double. Odd too say the least from your leading man

[@usagi907]

I honestly think those articles are based on rumors (or things spread by gossip pages). I mean everytime I've seen him talk about the show there seems to be a genuine passion for it. Other actors who worked with him said that was far from the truth, that he doesn't have any problems with wearing the helmet.

[@jastingz]

because people spread lies all the time about pedro. even this one youtube channel continues to lie about pedro’s behavior on set. every person that has seen interviews of him or has read or heard things about his personality or how he is in his workspace, would know that it’s not like that.

[@paulaispunk]

It's actually grace Randolph who spread this rumor who is famous for making things up

[@dhyakanya]

It was a false news, and it came from Grace Randolph who has beefs with some actors and directors because she often tells weird conspirations on twitter (James Gunn is the latest). I remember when this happened on Twitter and it was chaos because it's not true. Pedro was in the suit 80% of the time in season 2, but he couldn't for season 3 because he was in Canada for The Last of Us shoot the whole year and his contract mandated the TLOU was prioritized over his other projects. I'm sure he'll come back in season 4.

[@archaeologyfornon-archaeol1014]

He likes to work on stage as well as screen. They gave him time off to do King Lear on off- Broadway, and lots of time off to do TLOU. He was in Canada for that nearly a year for that. They are happy he is doing voice work, to keep it going. He is highly sought after and to keep him, they need to accommodate his outside shooting schedule. He just signed on for a horror flick, a true crime movie, and has also signed on for Gladiator 2. He is a busy man.

Actually he was in the suit a lot in season 2. It has been acknowledged that Lateef Crowder does hand to hand fight scenes, Brendan Wayne does the gun play and much of the walking etc. As Pedro says they make him look good.
