Pascal has often been referred to as “daddy” by his fans, a nickname that has gained popularity online. When asked about his thoughts on the nickname in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Pascal acknowledged the association with his role as a paternal figure. He mentioned that both the Mandalorian and Joel characters are caretakers of children in their respective stories, and the “daddy” label seems to stem from those roles.

Pascal also light-heartedly joked about his recurring roles as a caretaker of cargo, referring to his characters’ responsibilities in protecting and transporting others. He dispelled the notion that he spends a significant amount of time inside the Mandalorian suit, revealing that it is not as extensive as some may think.
Overall, Pascal seems to embrace the playful nature of the “daddy” nickname while acknowledging its connection to his roles. He appreciates the enthusiasm of his fans and continues to delight audiences with his performances on screen.
