Pedro Pascal is giving fans yet another reason to swoon in his latest commercial for Apple’s AirPods 4. The actor, known for his roles in The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, is seen dancing up a storm in the new short film, titled “Someday,” directed by Her filmmaker Spike Jonze.
The quirky commercial follows the story of a man grappling with a breakup who transforms his bleak, Arctic surroundings into a vibrant dreamscape — all thanks to the power of his AirPods’ Active Noise Cancellation feature. While the premise may be unconventional, Pascal’s infectious charm and energy bring the commercial to life, making it an instant hit with viewers.
In the ad, Pascal, 49, isn’t just a handsome face; he shows off some impressive dance moves that have the internet buzzing. Despite not being a classically trained dancer, Pascal worked with Tanisha Scott, a renowned choreographer who has worked with Rihanna and Beyoncé, to perfect his routine. Pascal’s dance style ranges from voguing to full-on lip-syncing, with one memorable moment where he performs to the lyrics, “You’re perfect / Now work it.” The move is bound to make even the most hardened viewer smile — and some, perhaps, blush.
The short film also features the beautiful ballad “Conticinio” by Guitarricadelafuente and the upbeat track “Perfect,” which further elevate Pascal’s performance. The combination of music, dance, and Pascal’s undeniable charisma has captivated audiences worldwide, with many fans and internet users showering the ad with praise.
It’s safe to say the internet is thoroughly entertained and charmed.

For those eagerly awaiting Pascal’s next film, his upcoming project Materialists promises a different kind of charm. In the film, directed by Past Lives director Celine Song, Pascal plays a wealthy millionaire vying for the attention of Lucy, portrayed by Dakota Johnson. He competes with a struggling actor-waiter, played by Chris Evans. However, as one Twitter user aptly pointed out, “I’m supposed to believe in a world where someone would choose Chris Evans over Pedro Pascal? Not in my world.”
Whether he’s dancing, acting, or simply being his charismatic self, Pascal continues to captivate audiences and prove that his talent goes far beyond his leading roles in blockbuster TV series and films. As for now, his viral dance moves are likely to keep him in the spotlight for quite some time.
