Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal’s handsy ‘Fantastic Four’ promo sparks concern
Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal’s touchy-feely behaviour makes netizens debate their friendship
Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal have been getting comfortable with each other, leaving fans puzzled by their interactions.
The duo, who play a couple in the action movie Fantastic Four seem to be carrying the energy over into their off-screen appearances during the press tour.
Although The Crown alum is pregnant and about to have a baby with fiancé Paul Rabil, she has been spotted fondly touching the Materialists star’s face during an interview.
In another instance at the Los Angeles premiere, Pedro could be seen stroking Vanessa’s baby bump before settling his hand near hers as they posed for the cameras on the red carpet.
A couple of the occurrences were combined in a montage which a fan posted on X (formerly Twitter), sparking a conversation about the pair’s behaviour.
The post was met with comments such as “Actors are very touchy feely I’ll never understand it,” and “this is crazy.”
Meanwhile others offered explanation for the “very Handsy” interactions by noting that The Last Of Us star has anxiety.
One netizen wrote, “Guys calm down. Pedro suffers from some type of anxiety disorder. He needs to touch or be touched by people to make him calm down and feel comfortable.”
Is Pedro Pascal in a relationship?
As of July 2025, Pedro Pascal is not publicly in a relationship. He has maintained a notably private personal life, with no confirmed romantic partners.
