Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal has been spotted in Kent - reportedly visiting an art exhibition inspired by him.

The A-list actor was pictured outside the Rhodes Gallery in Margate yesterday, where a series of artworks depicting the 48-year-old is currently on show.

A photograph shared on Facebook shows him smiling for a selfie alongside Robert Diament - a well-known gallery director who lives in the town – and Him and Her star Russell Tovey.

News that Pascal - who is also known for his appearances in the Last of Us and Narcos - had been in Thanet came as a surprise to many residents.

But it appears some people managed to grab some time with the award-winning heartthrob.

Nichola Jarvis wrote: “My daughters met him but I was sworn to secrecy. They had a lovely chat with him and he was really nice. And they were super excited.”

Michelle Allen added: “I know that there was a lot of Pedro Pascal art in UpMargate. He probably came to look!”

The exhibition, which opened in June, is running at the Rhodes Gallery in UpMargate, The Centre, until September 1.

It is a solo show by Heidi Gentle Burrell called ADHD Hyperfixation and Why it looks like I love Pedro Pascal.

On her Instagram, the artist shares a number of works featuring the American actor, including paintings, pencil sketches and sculptures.

And while it appears Pascal, whose credits also include The Mandalorian and Kingsman: The Golden Circle, is a fan, the exhibition also has another celebrity admirer.

Margate artist Tracey Emin recently responded to a post about the show, saying: “This is so good.”
