The 2025 Cannes Film Festival once again served as a stage for extraordinary artistic encounters, bold cinema, and magical moments immortalized through images. Among the many stars who graced the red carpet this year, one name drew particular attention from photographers, journalists, and fans alike: Pedro Pascal.

The Chilean-American actor, acclaimed for his roles in The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, and Narcos, was in Cannes to present Eddington, a standout film that left a lasting impression from its very first screening. Eddington is an emotionally charged drama, both intimate and universal, anchored by a powerful and restrained performance from Pedro Pascal in a role unlike any he’s played before.

A Privileged Moment at the Hôtel Carlton

Before the official red carpet appearance, celebrity photographer Jeremy Jakubowicz had the rare opportunity to capture a series of portraits of Pedro Pascal in the iconic setting of the Hôtel Carlton in Cannes, a place synonymous with elegance and cinematic history. In the quiet calm away from the festival's buzz, Jeremy Jakubowicz captured Pedro Pascal in a series of refined, authentic portraits. Pedro Pascal possesses a rare kind of presence, luminous yet subtle, and Jeremy Jakubowicz was able to highlight that energy with sensitivity and precision. Their brief encounter produced images that reflect both the quiet intensity and charisma of the actor.

A Highly Anticipated Red Carpet Moment

When Pedro Pascal finally stepped onto the red carpet, joined by the Eddington team, excitement filled the air. Applause, camera flashes, admiring gazes, it all came together in one of the festival’s most memorable moments. For Jeremy Jakubowicz, seeing Pascal on the world stage after capturing him in a private, more intimate setting brought a profound emotional depth to his work.
