“Pedro Pascal is just Lux’s plus-one tonight,” said another. The actor demonstrated their close sibling bond by delicately adjusting his sister’s train on the carpet.
The Mandalorian star, who has always supported Lux both publicly and personally, gave a touching demonstration of support during the incident.

Pedro plays Marcus Acacius in Gladiator II, a Roman commander who was taught by Maximus, played by Russell Crowe.
The much awaited follow-up takes place decades after the first and centers on Paul Mescal’s Lucius, Maximus’ son.
