Fans joked Pedro Pascal was his younger sister’s ‘plus one’ at the premiere of his film Gladiator II on Wednesday night after she stole the show.

Transgender actress Lux, 32, supported her older brother, 49, at the screening held at London’s Leicester Square.

Wowing in a daring black cut out dress, Lux was soon flooded with compliments on social media with many wanting to know more about Pedro’s sister who revealed her transition in 2021. 

Narcos and The Last Of Us star Pedro has admitted he’s fierecely protective of his sister, and he’s won praise from fans for his LGBTQ advocacy.

However, he admits that Lux is a ‘powerful’ personality and doesn’t need to rely on him for supporting, saying: ‘I need her more than she needs me.’ 

Lux, who is dating actor and musician José Antonio Raffo de la Jara, was born in 1992, is the youngest of her three siblings; sister Javiera and older brothers Nicolás and Pedro, who is 17 years older. 

While Pedro was raised in mostly in Texas,  Lux was born in Orange County in June 1992. 

Their mother, a child psychologist, and father , a fertility doctor, had fled Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile in 1976, but moved back to Chile not long after Lux was born.

Giving an insight into family life, the actor previously told Esquire: ‘She ruled the household right away. When my older sister and I would visit, we were like intruders.

‘Our mother was her mother, but for us to think that we were entitled to this woman’s attention in any way was absurd.’ 

Like her brother, Lux is also an actress having graduated from the prestigious Julliard School in 2023. 

She has had roles in The Prince, Invisible Heroes, and Chilean drama series Los 80 as well as starring alongside her brother in Narcos.

Lux publicly detailed her transition in 2021, appearing on the cover of the February issue of Chilean magazine, Ya. 

The actress revealed she began receiving hormone treatment the previous July, with her whole family being incredibly supportive. 

She said it was something that’s very natural for everyone in my family’ and ‘almost something that they expected to happen’. 

Lux added it ‘doesn’t make me anxious to see old photos of myself’. 

She said: ‘The same thing happens to me with theater: I see someone who was doing what they liked.’ 

In the interview, she described herself as a ‘baby learning to walk’.

Describing life before transition, she said it was like ‘playing with a deck of cards that was not mine’

‘While in the dark I collected the cards to put together another one,’ she said. ‘And I finally dared to participate in this game with my own cards, as the person I am.’

Proud Pedro shared an image of his sister’s cover story with the magazine on his Instagram account with a purple heart. 

Her rumoured boyfriend actor and musician José Antonio Raffo de la Jara also shared Lux’s magazine cover to Instagram, describing her as ‘the most beautiful and brightest star in all the galaxies’.

Lux’s journey 

Before coming out as transgender, Lux first came out as gay and then identified as non-binary which eventually lead her to realise she was a woman

Before coming out as transgender, Lux first came out as gay and then identified as non-binary which eventually lead her to realise she was a woman. 

‘I think if I would have been sufficiently sure of myself I would have transitioned in my adolescence. In school I trusted my classmates 

‘Moving through the world as a woman is much more simple for me, but I still advocate for nonbinary identities to have a space in society,’ she explained. 

‘Coming out of the closet as a gay man didn’t cost me anything, but deep down it wasn’t who I was. It was only a step on the staircase, but it wasn’t me,” she said. “It was an easy thing to say,” she said about her coming out, “but the truth was, ‘Oof, if you really knew what I feel…’ 

Lux said she’s eager to fight for the rights of the trans community.

‘We need trans activists who are good, smart, informed and who can be strong voices against transphobia, homophobia and racism,’ she said.

Pedro’s close bond with Lux

Lux credited Pedro as being an ‘important part’ of her journey as she recalled: ‘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”.’

‘He’s also an artist and has served as a guide for me. He was one of the first people to gift me the tools that started shaping my identity.’ 

Pedro shared a tribute to Lux when the magazine came out, sharing the cover to Instagram with the caption: ‘Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux,’ which translates to: ‘My sister, my heart, our Lux.’

After Lux came out as transgender, Pedro told Esquire his ‘protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me’. 

He added: ‘she is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I’ve ever known.’ 

The actor has also shown his support to the LGBTQIA community on Instagram, sharing photos of a rainbow flag after the attacks on trans rights in March 2023.
