The one you learn from, the one who shows you patience and humor no matter the moment, no ­matter the day. She moves through a world that is stunned by her beauty, and if and when anyone gets past it, they are met with an intelligence, talent and sensitivity that can vanish any picture you’re trying to hold onto. You will never catch up with Nico, but she will wait for you. I ask that she keep going, that she keeps showing the world how it’s done. Thank you, Nico, for being my first daughter. I will always be here, I will always protect you, just like you do me. _Pascal is an Emmy-­nominated actor_ Nico Parker: TIME100 Next 2025 ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318873/nico-parker/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318873/nico-parker/"},"headline":"Nico Parker","datePublished":"2025-09-30T11:01:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:55:25.629Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318873/nico-parker/","keywords":["TIME100 Next","sponsorshipblock"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7d9619f7e1c2f9c3/6998ca05f1b082fbc26f1b6f/t100-next-2025-nico_Parker.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7d9619f7e1c2f9c3/6998ca05f1b082fbc26f1b6f/t100-next-2025-nico_Parker.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time100-next/","name":"TIME100 Next"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318873/nico-parker/","name":"Nico Parker"}}]}] ```
