Pedro Pascal says he 'would do anything' for Jennifer Aniston after their dinner pics spark dating rumors

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pedro Pascal seems to be completely in awe of Jennifer Aniston as he gushed about her at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 on Monday, March 24.

The two recently sparked dating rumors after they were spotted having dinner together in West Hollywood, California.

A tipster soon shut down the speculation, saying, "There is no romance going on between Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal. They respect each other as artists, but it’s strictly platonic and they’re not dating."

Pedro Pascal gushes about Jennifer Aniston's ability to make people feel comfortable

At the premiere, Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans asked Pedro Pascal if he was "trying to convince" the ‘Friends’ actress to work in his show.

"Or I go on her show. That wouldn’t be a terrible thing," he replied, referring to Aniston’s 'The Morning Show', as per The New York Post.

The 49-year-old actor further mentioned that he "would do anything for Jennifer," before noting, "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 shared.

Gushing over Aniston, 'The Mandalorian' star also said, "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," the 'Game of Thrones' star added.

Pedro Pascal says he and Jennifer Aniston are 'very good friends'

When asked about Jennifer Aniston in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Pedro Pascal said, "Jennifer and I are very good friends."

About their dinner, he said, "I got to have dinner on Saturday. It was a fun martini dinner."

"That's her starlight. I'm just basking in it!" Pascal quipped, attributing the media frenzy surrounding their dinner to Aniston's star power. 

Jennifer Aniston previously shut down rumors linking her to Barack Obama

This came months after Jennifer Aniston was romantically linked to former President Barack Obama. A magazine headline read, "The Truth About Jen & Barack," as per People.

It also stated that Michelle Obama is "Betrayed as Aniston Steals Her Husband's Attention," and that the 'Just Go with It' actress and Barack are "obsessed with each other."

But the 56-year-old actress denied the speculation during her appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!' in 2024. She called the claim "absolutely untrue," before adding, "I have met him once. I know Michelle more than him."

The rumors, however, did not die and were revived again this year after former ‘The View’ host Meghan McCain said that the Obamas "live separate lives."

She claimed, "I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce by reputable people. I’m talking about like very serious journalists telling me that they’re hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true."
