Sarah Michelle Gellar threw everyone off after posting a photo of Pedro Pascal from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Pedro had a brief appearance in Buffy before becoming the ‘internet daddy’ and star of The Mandalorian and The Last of Us. Who’d have guessed?
Real Buffy fans will recall Pedro as Edward, a boy Buffy met on his first day of college when everything was going well and they appeared to be good friends.
Unfortunately, it was not to be.
Instead, he was bitten by a vampire and turned into one, and we all know what Buffy did with vampires – with the exception of Spike and Angel.
Sarah captioned a photo of Buddy and Edward strolling alongside one other before his death, ‘When #Mother met #Father.’
Fans filled the comments section, most of whom were completely taken aback by this shocking new knowledge.
‘I was today years old when I learned this was Pedro Pascal He looks so different,’ said one of her followers while another gasped: ‘THAT WAS PEDRO?!’
Others said they dreamed of ‘an alternat BUFFYverse’ where ‘he survived and went on to become a great love interest.’
Pedro’s use of the word “father” apparently relates to his new status as “the online daddy,” to which he eventually replied with delight during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
The actor is presently appearing in two of the most popular programmes on television, with The Last of Us season one wrapping up in two weeks and The Mandalorian season three premiering on Disney Plus today.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer is also available to stream on Disney Plus now.
