Pedro Pascal Tells Dakota Johnson to ‘Wiggle a Toe’ for Cash—And Nobody Cares!

by

Lately, Dakota Johnson shared an old remark made by Pedro Pascal to her. This type of comment might typically stir controversy in many professions; however, given it’s Hollywood and the person is Pedro Pascal, the response seems to be lighthearted laughter rather than serious concern.

In an interview with Elle UK, actress Dakota Johnson shared an unanticipated bit of professional guidance from Pedro Pascal, who stars in The Mandalorian and Fantastic Four. Reportedly, he suggested she join a contentious digital platform that specializes in explicit and unusual material to earn income by subtly moving her toes.

Johnson shared that Pedro Pascal advised him to get an “Office” and mentioned he could potentially earn money by simply wiggling his toe. Johnson then asked, “Is it wise for me to follow through with this?

Dakota Johnson appeared unsure if Pedro Pascal was joking or not when he mentioned a specific platform, confessing she wasn’t familiar with it. When inquired about fans who follow such accounts, she admitted, “I don’t know anything about that,” wondering if it’s a place where people watch unusual activities? She also questioned if the models featured there are considered hot and different from regular models.

Despite being uncertain about its workings, Johnson remarked, “It seems fascinating. It’s quite intriguing.

‘Materialists’ and Media Passes

The quote originated as a part of their shared marketing campaign for the upcoming romantic comedy titled “Materialists,” scheduled for release on June 13 (it seems this actor is everywhere!). However, while the movie portrays romance, it’s their off-screen camaraderie that has generated more excitement – and also more attention.

As a film enthusiast, I’d say it’s troubling to witness instances where female colleagues are subtly pushed towards objectifying their bodies for financial gain in the professional world. This is generally a clear-cut HR issue that shouldn’t be tolerated. However, in Hollywood, it seems this line can blur for some lesser-known actors, and unfortunately, it appears that for Pedro, such moments are often portrayed as just another quirky stunt from a cherished celebrity. A man whose success is underpinned by the staggering $2 billion box office potential of both Avengers: Doomsday and The Mandalorian & Grogu.

A person who appears to be immune to consequences, freely expressing controversial opinions – be it criticizing the Republican party or reportedly urging his fellow actors to pose for certain pictures.

And it’s not the only odd Pascal moment with female co-stars that’s flown under the radar recently.

Pedro Pascal suffers from anxiety and he calms himself by holding Vanessa Kirby’s hand. 🥺

They’ve already become Reed Richards and Sue Storm! ☺️

During San Diego Comic Con, photos emerged showing Pascal next to actress Vanessa Kirby. In these photos, he appeared to gently touch her arm and eventually hold her hand while seeming distracted, causing a stir and some unease among viewers online. Many wondered about the true nature of their interaction. Later, Pascal explained that he was dealing with anxiety and sought comfort in the moment.

Thankfully, Pedro’s anxiety wasn’t acting up at Cannes this week as he sat beside Joaquin Phoenix…

For certain individuals, these recurring actions are starting to show a distinct pattern – an unusual pattern, it must be said, that draws more attention from the media in terms of adoration rather than thoughtful analysis.

Hollywood’s Selective Outrage

It’s quite telling that Pedro Pascal, despite openly asking a female co-star to subscribe to a paywall just to wiggle a toe for money, doesn’t face any repercussions at all, revealing a clear double standard within the entertainment industry.

Despite some celebrities facing career setbacks over merely sharing a meme or voicing political opinions, Pascal’s controversial comments, along with his bizarre public displays of extreme, inflammatory, and profane political rants, are often dismissed as endearing or relatable.

Gina Carano was dismissed from a significant film series and hasn’t been employed by a major studio since posting on social media about treating each other with kindness regardless of political beliefs. In contrast, Pascal, who previously shared a meme likening contemporary political groups to the most malevolent regime ever known, continues unscathed – even receiving ongoing praise.

The pattern in Hollywood of disregarding or cancelling individuals who deviate from the established storyline, while overlooking misbehavior of greater severity in others, is not fresh news. However, with every such occurrence, it becomes increasingly challenging to turn a blind eye.

It doesn’t really matter if Dakota Johnson follows the unusual advice given by Pedro Pascal, what truly matters is what Hollywood allows and what it eliminates, making a statement about its values.
