Pedro Pascal’s victory on Grindr’s poll proves one thing: everyone is crushing on him. The app’s annual Unwrapped list highlights the year’s most-loved figures, and Pascal beat some major names to claim the top spot (per Pink News).

Jonathan Bailey, known for being the charming Anthony Bridgerton, couldn’t keep up. Bad Bunny, one of the world’s biggest musicians, landed in third place. Fourth went to NFL star Travis Kelce—yes, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend. And rounding out the top five was Jeremy Allen White, who plays a chaotic but lovable chef in The Bear.

Pascal’s win makes perfect sense. His roles in hit shows like The Mandalorian and The Last of Us have turned him into a global star. But it’s not just his acting—his sense of humor, charm, and undeniable good looks have everyone swooning. Fans adore him, and it’s clear Grindr users feel the same.

This year alone, Pedro Pascal’s movies have made over $650 million worldwide, pushing his career total past $1.9 billion. Let’s start with The Wild Robot, an animated movie that has been a massive hit. With $321.9 million (via Box Office Mojo) in global earnings and a near-perfect 97% Rotten Tomatoes score, it’s safe to say audiences and critics loved it.

Directed by Chris Sanders, the movie blends heartwarming storytelling with stunning animation. Then there’s Gladiator II, the much-anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 epic. Pascal plays a conflicted Roman general named Acacius, bringing depth and drama to the role.

While it wasn’t as loved by critics (71% on Rotten Tomatoes), the movie still brought in $329 million worldwide (per Box Office Mojo), as of writing, and is set to bring in more. Fans of historical action flocked to theaters, proving that the Gladiator franchise still has major pulling power. And let’s not forget Drive-Away Dolls, a quirky indie film from Ethan Coen.

While it only made $8 million (per Box Office Mojo), it added variety to the 49-year-old’s impressive year. This mix of blockbuster hits and smaller projects shows Pascal’s range as an actor. He can lead massive films and still shine in intimate, character-driven stories.
