With awards season in full swing, The Last of Us actor Pedro Pascal has been celebrating a number of nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series at the Emmys earlier this week.
It's the time of year when some of the greatest actors in Hollywood grace the red carpet, and this year, Pedro, 48, took his sister Lux Pascal as his guest to the awards show.
While the actor has remained pretty tight-lipped about his private life in the past, he's always been a huge cheerleader for his sister, Lux, 31, who is transgender.

"I wouldn't want to speak on her behalf," he told Esquire last year. "But she is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I've ever known.
"My protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me."
Lux began identifying as non-binary back in 2020, before coming out as trans in 2021.
Speaking of her brother's support during her time transitioning, Lux told Chilean magazine Revista Ya: "He was one of the first people to gift me the tools that started shaping my identity."
She added: "When I officially told him about my transition through FaceTime, he asked me how I felt... because I remember that he was worried.

"I told him, 'I'm happy.' And his answer was: 'Perfect, this is incredible'."
Lux - who is Pedro's youngest sister - is also an actress, and graduated from the prestigious Juilliard School last year with an MFA in acting.
She's had roles in movies The Prince and Invisible Heroes, and has also been in Chilean drama series Los 80.
The pair are also have an older sister, Javiera Balmaceda, 50 and brother Nicolás Balmaceda, 36.
Lux and Pedro enjoyed a night out together at the Emmys on Monday night (January 15).

The awards show was full of memorable moments, from Christina Applegate's emotional standing ovation to the mysterious appearance of a goblin on the red carpet.
But one moment that left viewers at home scratching their heads came while Pedro was presenting the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
Part of the audio was bleeped out once The Last of Us star started talking about his shoulder injury, leaving people desperate to know what he actually said to fellow actor Kieran Culkin.
