Pedro Pascal has finally broken his silence on the swirling rumors about him and Jennifer Aniston after the two were spotted having an intimate dinner together in West Hollywood. The speculation started when paparazzi captured them enjoying a three-hour meal at a luxury hotel, arriving separately and leaving the same way — a detail that only intensified public curiosity.
During the premiere of The Last of Us season two, Pascal set the record straight while speaking to E! News, explaining that the outing wasn’t romantic. "We're friends and we went to dinner with a mutual friend," he stated firmly, squashing the dating chatter. He appeared amused by the buzz, but his tone made it clear there was no truth to the speculation.
When asked about the possibility of working with Aniston in the future, Pascal’s response was lighthearted and enthusiastic. "Or I go on her show. That wouldn’t be a terrible thing. I would do anything for Jennifer," he said, referencing her iconic Friends past and the projects she’s known for today.
Pascal, beloved for his warm and genuine nature off-screen, went on to shower Aniston with praise. He described her as someone who naturally makes people feel at ease — a rare quality that makes her even more magnetic. "She’s that person. She’s that person to everyone," he said earnestly, emphasizing how her kindness isn’t reserved for close friends but radiates to everyone she meets.
He even joked about how soothing her presence is, recalling how she has this almost mystical ability to calm people down in overwhelming situations. "If you’re really high at a party, make eye contact with Jen Aniston and she’ll calm your central nervous system. You’ll be like, ‘Oh no, everything’s fine. I’m safe.’ As soon as your brain 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."
His playful yet heartfelt comments paint a picture of a deeply cherished friendship — not a secret romance. Pascal's admiration for Aniston clearly runs deep, but in a platonic, heartfelt way. The duo’s dinner may have looked cozy from afar, but it seems to be nothing more than two friends catching up over a meal, with their bond rooted in mutual respect and genuine affection.
While the dating rumors may continue to circulate, Pascal’s candid remarks make it clear he holds Aniston in the highest regard — not as a romantic partner, but as a remarkable person whose warmth and authenticity leave a lasting impact on everyone she encounters.
