Pedro Pascal hit the red carpet for the Season 2 premiere of HBO’s “The Last of Us” on Monday night, fresh off a three-hour dinner with Jennifer Aniston. The actor, 49, looked stylish and relaxed as he greeted fans and posed for photos at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Red Carpet Moment in Hollywood
Pascal arrived at the event in high spirits, donning a blue turtleneck, a checkered blazer, and black leather pants. The combination was both classic and modern, fitting for one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars. Cameras flashed as he made his way through the crowd, smiling and stopping for selfies with fans.
The buzz around Pascal wasn’t just about the show’s new season. Just days earlier, he was seen leaving the Tower Bar in West Hollywood after an extended dinner with Jennifer Aniston. Naturally, this set off a whirlwind of speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Spotted With Jennifer Aniston at Sunset Tower Hotel
Over the weekend, Pascal and Aniston, 56, were spotted chatting outside the Sunset Tower Hotel after spending three hours dining together. The “Friends” star kept it effortlessly chic in a white T-shirt layered under a leather vest, paired with black pants and boots. Pascal opted for a more relaxed look with a leather jacket and jeans.
Fans quickly jumped to conclusions, with social media ablaze over the possibility of a romance between the two. Their history didn’t help squash the rumors either, as a resurfaced video from the 2024 Critics Choice Awards showed them holding hands on the red carpet. While that moment was brief, it was enough to fuel speculation.
What’s Really Going On Between Pascal and Aniston?
Despite the whispers and excited online chatter, an insider insists there’s no romantic connection. “There is no romance going on between Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal,” the source told Page Six. “They respect each other as artists, but it’s strictly platonic and they’re not dating.”
Aniston is no stranger to high-profile relationships, having been married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018. Pascal, on the other hand, has kept his dating life relatively private but has been linked to actresses Maria Dizzia, Lena Headey, and Robin Tunney in the past.
The Last of Us Season 2: What to Expect
Away from the gossip, Pascal’s latest project is back in the spotlight. “The Last of Us” Season 2 is one of the most anticipated TV events of the year. Following the massive success of its debut season, the show continues to adapt the beloved video game, with Pascal reprising his role as Joel alongside Bella Ramsey’s Ellie.
The new season is expected to dive deeper into the characters’ struggles in a post-apocalyptic world, with more action, heartbreak, and surprises in store for fans. HBO has kept details under wraps, but the excitement surrounding the premiere suggests viewers are in for another gripping chapter.
