Overview

• Davidson made the comments on Sept. 23 during an appearance on Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast.
• He agreed with Von’s description of a build-up-then-tear-down pattern and pointed to Pascal as the latest example.
• Davidson urged giving Pascal time to adjust to intensified attention after decades of steady work.
• He predicted Walton Goggins could face the same rapid turn in public sentiment following his recent surge in visibility.
• Coverage tied the remarks to Pascal’s packed year, including The Last of Us season 2, Ari Aster’s Eddington, Celine Song’s Materialists, Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps and a new Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, as well as to Davidson’s own past experience with tabloid scrutiny.
