Pedro Pascal + Jennifer Aniston? The Internet Spiraled for 24 Hours Straight
On March 22, Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston were spotted leaving the Tower Bar at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood after what InStyle described as a “three-hour-long dinner.” Naturally, chaos ensued online.
Adding fuel to the fire? Jennifer’s outfit—a clear homage to her iconic Friends character, Rachel Green. According to InStyle’s Lara Walsh, Aniston stepped out in a ’90s-coded black vest over a white tee, echoing Rachel’s “going to Paris” look from the series finale. Pedro, meanwhile, looked classic-cool in a brown leather jacket, jeans, and glasses.
The pair were photographed chatting at the valet, and by the time DeuxMoi posted the pics to Instagram, the internet was already deep in the fantasy. “OMG it’s happening everyone stay calm!!!” one commenter wrote. Another added, “This is the love connection we need right now!”
But Then TMZ Came in Like a Cold Shower
Despite the whirlwind speculation, TMZ reported the next day that Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston are not dating. According to “sources with direct knowledge,” the dinner was not one-on-one—it was with a group of mutual friends.
The site noted the two have “lots of mutual friends” and that their relationship has been entirely platonic “for years.” Not exactly the rom-com storyline fans were hoping for.
Pedro Pascal’s Reaction Was Peak Charming—and Confusing
Still, the timing was delicious. The very next evening, Pedro hit the red carpet for the Season 2 premiere of The Last of Us. Of course, reporters asked him about the Aniston rumors.
Extra went in with a sly approach, asking what qualities Pedro looks for in a relationship and if, perhaps, someone with “good taste in television who maybe watched Friends—or was on it” fit the bill. Pedro laughed, pieced it together, and said, “I see, yeah, there you go, there it is.”
He didn’t exactly confirm or deny, but he definitely didn’t squash the buzz, either.
Then Came the “I’d Do Anything for Jennifer” Moment
If anyone was still clinging to hope, Pedro Pascal’s full response to Access Hollywood added more heart-eyes than clarity. When asked whether he was trying to convince Aniston to join The Last of Us, Pedro teased, “Or I go on her show.”
“That wouldn’t be a terrible thing,” he added.
In a separate interview with E! News, Pedro clarified that the dinner was platonic. “We’re friends and we went to dinner with mutual friends,” he said. “It happens.”
But then came the quote that kept Twitter (and our hearts) spiraling.
When pressed further about Aniston, Pedro said, “I would do anything for Jennifer.” He went on to describe her as “that person to everyone,” adding, “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.”
Oh—and if you’re high at a party? “She’ll look at you, get you a glass of water, and you’re fine.” This man.
The Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston Chemistry Isn’t New
This isn’t their first flirty moment. Back at the Critics Choice Awards in 2024, cameras caught Pedro reaching for Aniston’s hand, which she held with both of hers while mouthing “Oh my God” to the camera.
They also chatted on the red carpet about the possibility of Pedro joining her on Apple TV+’s The Morning Show. Reese Witherspoon jumped in to say they had a “really good part” for him, prompting Pedro to joke, “I sleep with everyone on the show. I’m in.”
In his own words via Access Hollywood: “I’ll be waiting to hear from my agents. Draw it up. Send me a script.”
So, No Romance—But Maybe On-Screen Sparks?
Despite Page Six doubling down on the “just friends” narrative, the idea of Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston co-starring in something—anything—is still on the table. With Season 4 of The Morning Show on the horizon and Pedro filming The Fantastic Four: First Steps, a crossover might be all fans get. But at least it’s something.
Until then, we’ll be sipping martinis in their honor, replaying Pedro’s “I’d do anything for Jennifer” quote like it’s an audio core memory.
