Pedro Pascal has become one of the most exciting stars in Hollywood. He began getting his big break in 2019 as the title star of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, and he’s become even more famous as the leading man of the zombie dystopia series The Last Of Us on HBO.
Besides being a critically-acclaimed actor, Pedro is also a loving brother to two sisters and a younger brother. Born in Chile, the actor and his older sister Javiera fled the country with their parents, who supported socialist leader Salvador Allende, when dictator Augosto Pinochet took power. His parents took their family to the United States, where they had another son and daughter. The family eventually settled in Orange County, California.
Pedro is close with his siblings and even took youngest sister Lux as his date to the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards on January 15, 2024. Find out more about Pedro’s siblings below!

Pedro’s elder sister Javiera was also born in Chile. Like her younger brother, she also pursued a career in entertainment, but most of her work is done off-screen. She serves as the Head of Local Originals For Spanish-Speaking Countries in Latin America for Amazon Studios, according to Variety. One of her biggest projects yet has been working on the Amazon Original Argentina, 1985. The 2022 film was nominated for Best International Feature Film at the 2023 Academy Awards. “It’s exciting to be part of such an ambitious project that will take audiences on a journey through a pivotal point in Argentina’s history,” Javiera told Variety, when the movie was announced.
When the film was nominated, Javiera attended the Oscars, which her brother also attended and presented the Best Animated Film and Best Documentary Short awards. The brother and sister duo attended the event together, and Pedro shared a sweet photo of the two of them at the ceremony on Instagram. “Big sis energy,” he captioned the post.
Nicolas Balmaceda Pascal
Of all Pedro’s siblings, his younger brother Nicolas is the most private. When celebrating his younger brother’s birthday in 2019, the Emmy nominated actor penned a sweet message to him and revealed that his brother is a doctor, working towards a degree in neurology. “He’s getting his PHD in pediatric neurology. He hates attention and he loves doing good,” Pedro wrote in the Instagram caption. “To punish him for being younger, smarter and more handsome I thought I would announce this to the world.”
On Nicolas’ Instagram, he has shown that he has an interest in astronomy. He often posts photos of the moon and other planets on the account. He also occasionally shares looks at his dog and celebrates his siblings’ accomplishments, like when his younger sister Lux was on a magazine cover.

Pedro’s youngest sibling Lux, 31, was born in 1992. Lux announced that she is transgender in a February 2021 interview with Ya magazine. When she came out, she revealed that her family were incredibly supportive of her. “For everyone in my family my transition has been very natural. Almost something they hoped would happen,” she told Ya. She has used her platform to support trans rights.
Like her brother, Lux is also an actress. Many of her projects have been in Spanish, but she did appear in the U.S. Netflix series Narcos, per IMDb. She did an MFA program at the prestigious Julliard School and graduated in May 2023. Pedro was at her graduation and took pictures with Lux in her cap and gown.
In January 2024, Pedro brought Lux as his date to the 2023 Emmy Awards, where he was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. The duo wore matching black looks as they posed for pictures on the carpet. Pedro had on a sling after hurting his arm. Lux rocked a gorgeous dress with cutout details.
