It might sound like some confirmation for his legions of LGBT followers who believe he’s either bisexual or completely gay, but actor Pedro Pascal’s recent outing with a shirtless male model didn’t evoke praise from the pride crowd.
As Breitbart reported, some critics reacted to the perceived political inclination of the man he was with, Christian Hogue:
Despite that, gay fans were disappointed to see him photographed with Hogue because the model is widely perceived as a “MAGA” supporter. And many gays have labeled the model a “felon,” despite that he has no such criminal record.
Hogue was arrested earlier this year on aggravated assault charges after he and another man got in a physical altercation at a Nashville, Tennessee, dog park. But that case is still in the courts and has not reached its final determination. Aggravated assault is a felony charge and if convicted with the maximum penalties, Hogue could be fined $10,000 and face three to fifteen years in prison. Hogue was booked and had a bond set at $3,000 in January when he was arrested.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Reddit page PopCultureChat accused Hogue of being “MAGA” and gays and gay supporters claimed the model was seen on a podcast making racist Asian jokes.
The photos sparked some social media discussion:

TMZ added these details:
Pedro and Christian appeared especially chummy during some one-on-one time … with the shirtless pair cracking each other up. Christian put his model physique on full display — and Pedro treated the group to a few flips into the water.
ADVERTISEMENTJason also ditched the shirt and showed off his beach bod in bright blue trunks … chatting with Jessica Sklar before taking the plunge.
As we reported, Pedro was spotted earlier this week in Mallorca aboard a superyacht alongside “Friends” stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.
