Pedro Pascal recently sat down with his transgender sister Lux for an interview about her biopic role as real-life trans icon, Argentine activist Carlita Antonella Rodríguez.
Lux said she was hesitant to take the role on initially, explaining because she’s lived her trans identity “throughout [her] whole life” she wasn’t sure she wanted to portray that onscreen.
But ultimately, she was able to shape the Rodríguez narrative in a way that means her transness is just one aspect of her personhood.
In the interview with her brother, published in Elle, Lux said: “Agustina Macri was generous enough and aware enough to let me guide a lot of the language around transness and be like, ‘Hey, can we not make it her sole focus? Can we not fetishize this? Can we just focus on her humanness and her heart? There’s so much more there.’”
