Dating rumors started to swirl after the pair were seen out at dinner together.
Pedro Pascal is commenting on recent photos of him and Jennifer Aniston that made the internet go into a frenzy.
Fans started to speculate a rumored romance between Pascal and Aniston after pictures of the two out at dinner surfaced online. However, Pascal shot down dating rumors during an E! News interview at the Season 2 premiere of “The Last of Us” on March 24.
“We’re friends and we went to dinner with mutual friends,” he shared. “It happens.”
Pascal also talked about their outing during an interview with “Access Hollywood.” When asked if he was trying to convince Aniston to star in “The Last of Us” at their dinner, he turned the question around, and said he might be interesting in playing a character on Aniston’s Apple TV+ series “The Morning Show.”
“Would I go on her show?” he said. “That wouldn’t be a terrible thing. I would do anything for Jennifer.”
Pascal, who plays Joel Miller in “The Last of Us,” said Aniston is a great friend.
“She’s that person. She’s that person to everyone. I think that it’s just that, really. I guess the best way that I could describe it is I remember … if you’re in a party setting and you make eye contact with Jen, she just knows exactly what’s going on with you and knows exactly how to make you feel,” he said.
“If you’re really high at a party, make eye contact with Jen Aniston and she’ll calm your central nervous system,” he laughed. “You’ll be like, ‘Oh no, everything’s fine. I’m safe.’ As soon as your brain just starts to go a little too wild (and) you start to get paranoid, she’ll look at you, get you a glass of water and you’re fine.”
At the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, Pascal, Aniston and Reese Witherspoon joked about what it would be like to have Pascal on “The Morning Show.”
In the program, Witherspoon and Aniston play TV anchors who learn how to get along after a big controversy shakes up their news station.
“Do you want to be on it?” Aniston asked Pascal on the red carpet.
“Wait, we actually do have a really good part for him,” Witherspoon said, before Aniston gasped.
“Pitch it to me now,” he replied.
When asked if the role might feature any “romantic” scenes with members of the cast, Aniston joked, “All of us.”
“I sleep with everyone on the show,” he laughed. “I’m in. All right, I’ll be waiting to hear from my agents.”
