The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal is a protective dad on screen. But he’s also protective in real life, especially when it comes to his younger brother Nicolás Balmaceda Pascal.

So, who is Nicolás? Read on to find out.

Meet Nicolás Balmaceda Pascal, Pedro Pascal’s Brother

Nicolás Balmaceda Pascal is Pedro Pascal’s younger brother, who has always been close to him. But despite being related to a star, Nicolás hates the attention he receives. However, this does not stop Pedro from introducing him on social media and taking him to premieres.

The last time we saw them together was at the TripleFrontier movie premiere in March 2019.

Also, according to Pedro, his younger brother may be younger but he worries the most about his family.

But Pedro isn’t the only sibling Nicolás is close to. He also adores his sister Lux Pascal, who graced the cover of Spanish magazine “Ya” in February 2021. In case you didn’t know, Lux is a transgender woman. She first came out to Pedro over FaceTime. Lux remembers the moment when Pedro asked him how she was feeling because she was “a little nervous.” Then, as soon as she replied that she was “happy,” Pedro congratulated her without hesitation. Lux remembers him saying, “Perfect, this is unbelievable.”

Furthermore, Lux mentioned that Pascal played an important role in her life. He “acted as a mentor” to her and was also one of the first people to give her “tools” to shape her identity.

Today, Lux is also noted for her work as an activist and for her time as an actress. She has appeared in several films and television shows, including The Pack (2020), The Prince (2019), This Is Cristina (2019), Invisible Heroes (2019), Narcos (2017), and Los 80 (2014).

Lux believes the world needs activists who are “good, smart, knowledgeable and can speak out strongly against transphobia, homophobia and racism.”

Pedro also has another sister named Javiera Balmaceda Pascal @tylenolprincess, who is the eldest of the siblings. Pedro and Javiera were born in Santiago, Chile. As of 2023, she is Head of Local Originals for LatAm + CA/AU at Prime Video & Amazon Studios. But before that, she held the roles of Head of Local Originals, Spanish-speaking Latin, Head of Originals, AR/CO/CL, and Senior Director of Development. She has also worked at Amazon as Content Acquisitions Latin America and as Director of Programming at HBO Latin America.
