I'm way less comfortable than Pedro with physical affection and let me tell you it's not a healthy or a good thing. One more way some modern standards of masculinity hurt men.
he does. hes also extremely affectionate with male costars (ie oscar isaac, paul mescal, etc), you guys are just insecure and upset both women and men feel comfortable around him

With the new Fantastic Four movie coming out, today I have decided to give Mark Russell's reimagining of Marvel's first family Fantastic Four: Life Story a look. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=YtXaC0…
It's at FIVE stars! 5.0!!! You know this won't last - sooner or later it's going to get a 4* and the average will drop. Which means TODAY might be your LAST chance to read this book while it's this good! TOMORROW it could be down to a 4.8 or 4.6 average! Don't wait!!!

Love seeing my babies out in the world!
Hmmm, what can this be that arrived weeks early? 👀
