Pedro Pascal has been seen for the first time since JK Rowling hit back at him after h called her a ‘heinous loser’ as he attended the Evita press night.
The Fantastic Four star, 50, whose sister Lux is transgender, made the remark about the Harry Potter earlier this year relating to her comments on gender.
Rowling has denied being transphobic, but she previously said she would ‘happily’ go to jail for misgendering a trans person and is using the new Harry Potter series to fund organisations dedicated to removing trans rights, with her ‘Women’s Fund’ website saying it will offer financial support to those fighting trans inclusion ‘in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces’.
Last month Pascal defended his earlier comments about Rowling as he declared how ‘bullies’ made him feel ‘f***ing sick’ – with Rowling saying on Sunday: ‘Can’t say I feel very shut down, but keep at it, Pedro. God loves a trier.’
Seen for the first time since the feud, Pascal was beaming as he attended the press night at the London Palladium with his longtime friend, actress Sarah Paulson.
Pascal kept it casual as he stepped out in a The Cure t-shirt reading ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ with turned up trousers and leather loafers.

Pascal initially made the scathing ‘heinous loser’ remark in April on Instagram.
He was responding to activist Tariq Ra’ouf who was calling for a boycott of any future Harry Potter projects due to Rowling’s stance on trans issues.
The British writer, 59, had celebrated a ruling by London’s Supreme Court determining that, specifically within the terms of Britain’s Equality act, ‘woman’ meant a biological female and not gender.
Rowling, who also writes under the pen name Robert Galbraith, has also been involved in wars of words over the subject with Sir Stephen Fry, Boy George and the three young actors who played the main trio in the original Harry Potter movies.
Pascal continued his opposition to Rowling last month in an interview with Vanity Fair, in which he addressed the response to his Instagram comment earlier this year.
Campaigner Mr Ra’ouf had written on Instagram: ‘It has become our mission as the general public to make sure that every single thing that’s Harry Potter related fails…because that awful disgusting s**t, that has consequences.’
As well as liking the video, Pedro also shared a defiant comment, writing: ‘Awful disgusting S**T is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior.’
His older sister Balmaceda, also talking to Vanity Fair for the feature, defended him, saying: ‘But it is heinous loser behavior.
‘And he said that as the older brother to someone saying that our little sister doesn’t exist.’

Harry Potter creator JK Rowling (pictured celebrating on her yacht a recent Supreme Court ruling on biological sex) has been arguing with critics over her views on gender
This was Pascal’s Instagram post in April backing calls for a boycott of Harry Potter productions in response to JK Rowling’s gender-critical opinions
Pascal himself told the magazine the backlash that followed made him feel like ‘that kid that got sent to the principal’s office a lot for behavioural issues in public schools in Texas feeling scared and thinking, “What’d I do?”‘
But the Hollywood star’s main concern was whether he might have hindered the cause he was supporting.
Pascal went on to add: ‘The one thing that I would say I agonised over a little bit was just, “Am I helping? Am I f***ing helping?”
‘It’s a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected.
‘Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f***ing sick.’
Pascal has previously shown his support for the transgender community, earlier this year sharing on Instagram the quote: ‘A world without trans people has never existed and never will.’
He added in his caption: ‘I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorising the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.’
His younger sister Lux, 32, came out as transgender and transitioned in 2021.
