At the premiere of Evita on London’s West End, Rachel Zegler reminisced about the special term she uses for Pedro Pascal – “Dad.

Reflecting on a special moment with Pascal, I recalled his heartwarming gesture at my first appearance on the musical stage. He was there, rooting for me from the audience, his infectious energy making it impossible for me not to spot him amidst the crowd as I performed.

Zegler expressed, “My dad Pedro always stands up for me in a way that fills my heart with love. He was there after every step. During ‘Rainbow High’, he would suddenly appear, like right in the middle of the song, and that’s when I first saw him. I exclaimed, ‘Dad!’ He is truly amazing.” She went on to say that their relationship is genuine and full of support.

Previously, Pascal has openly expressed his backing for Zegler on public platforms. In fact, he’s been one of her most outspoken advocates, particularly during difficult times. During the uproar surrounding Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White remake, Pascal stood by her on social media. He even labeled her an “icon” in a story on Instagram. This endorsement was made amidst a surge of online criticism.
