At the recently concluded Emmy Awards, Hollywood star Pedro Pascal walked the red carpet with a gorgeous brunette for company who happened to be none other than his youngest sister Lux Pascal. Fans from around the world marveled at the perfect siblings who looked as if they shared a very close bond. Other netizens immediately googled to know more about the beautiful Pascal lady.
While The Last of Us actor has been a star with the Midas touch in Hollywood recently, his younger sister stole the show and his thunder by being the talk of the town on the red carpet. After her dazzling appearance at the Emmys, the question on everyone’s lips was ‘Who is Lux Pascal’?
Pedro Pascal’s Sister Is A Successful Spanish Movie Star
Talent runs deep in the Pedro Pascal family and Lux Pascal is a shining example of that. 17 years junior to her famous brother, she was born as Lucas Balmaceda in California before migrating to Chile at the age of 3. In 2021, she came out as a transgender woman and adopted the name of Lux Balmaceda Pascal. A graduate from the prestigious Juilliard School in 2023 where she specialized in acting, Pascal studied theater extensively in Chile which led to many impressive performances on stage.
These experiences were a stepping stone to landing her first television role in the Spanish series Los 80. She went on to make her name in soaps like Juana Brava before starring in her film debut in 2016. Her most notable role in her international crossover was her presence in Narcos in which she played the character Elijah and shared screen space with her brother Pedro Pascal.
