Frances McDormand and Joel Coen adopted Pedro McDormand Coen when he was still a baby. “I didn’t give birth to my son, I met him at six months old, but from the minute I held him and smelled him, I knew it was my job to keep him alive,” McDormand told the Belfast Telegraph. Pedro hails from Paraguay, a place he still holds close to his identify. In fact, he has the country’s flag on his Instagram bio and marked permanently on his flesh. “Rep rep rep,” he captioned an Instagram photo that shoecases his arm tattoo.
Pedro opted to explore a career that veered from that of his parents. Between 2014 and 2016, he studied athletic training at Ithaca College and embarked on a career as a personal trainer, The New York Times reported in 2017. However, Pedro has shown he has many interests. Between 2019 and 2021, he worked in public relations before becoming a trainee at United Talent Agency, according to his LinkedIn. But McDormand and Coen did influence some of his recent decisions.

Around 2017, Pedro started working as a grip on some of Coen’s projects, the NYT noted. He also dabbled in acting, with minor roles in “Triple Frontier” and “Myles Raven.” Besides, Pedro is also a fashion enthusiast. It was on Pedro’s suggestion that McDormand rocked Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God for her memorable January 2021 Vogue cover. “Shopping is what he and I do together,” McDormand said.
