Pedro Pascal wants to use his fame to highlight big global issues.

The 50-year-old actor has previously been seen championing causes such as the Free Gaza Movement by wearing Protect The Dolls T-shirts in public and posting about food blockages into Gaza on social media, and Pascal has now insisted he will "never shut up" about issues he feels need to be addressed.

Speaking with Sky News about the worries of having his statements being taken out of context, he said: "I think it's very easy to get scared no matter what you sort of talk about. There's so many different ways that things can get kind of fractured and have a life of itself really."

He added: "It's sort of a business part of the way media can work really. There's one thing that you can say and no matter what your intention behind it, it is absolutely lost in all of these different headlines, I suppose, but I'll never shut up."

Pascal can next be seen in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) blockbuster The Fantastic Four: First Steps, where he stars as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic.

The movie - which also stars Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing - follows the titular family as they gain extraordinary powers after a cosmic accident during their exploration of outer space.

As they grapple with their new identities, the Fantastic Four must unite to stop the rising threat of Galactus (Ralph Ineson), who is hell-bent on destroying the Earth.

Since becoming a Hollywood A-lister, Pascal has had to find new ways to manage his anxiety, and has revealed that speaking with other people helps his mental health - something he discovered during the Covid-19 pandemic.

He told Men's Health: "I notice, especially during this period of the summer 2020, and the kind of isolation and how long my FaceTimes were, and my phone conversations, that I had started to make an effort to engage more, having previously lost that option in many ways.

"I can think back on high school, and college, and I was always such a talker with friends. Conversations on the phone, and then I don't know how many days had gone by where we stopped doing that."
