Pedro Pascal is in the spotlight again, but not for his movies! This time, it’s his touchy moments with co-star Vanessa Kirby that have gone viral. A clip from San Diego Comic-Con 2024 shows him holding Vanessa’s hand, and some fans quickly claimed he uses physical contact to ease anxiety. While some showed support, others raised questions about the idea of easing nerves by touching a taken woman.

Most recently, social media started buzzing with the “Pedro Pascal Anxiety,” turning the chatter into memes. Then, many old clips resurfaced, including one from 2023 where Pascal clutches his chest with one hand and holds his co-star from The Last of Us, Bella Ramsay, with the other hand.  Still, in a recent Men’s Health interview, Pedro revealed that his anxiety lies in his abdomen. However, he made no mention of needing to get touchy with women when it sparks.

With the latest round of viral videos, many speculate that something’s going on between Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, despite her being engaged. Meanwhile, fans debate whether it’s a coping mechanism or something else. Others argue it just shows how close the actor is with his co-stars. Either way, the memes are unstoppable, and Pedro’s hands are the talk of the internet this week.
