Pedro Pascal Explains Why He and Vanessa Kirby Can’t Stop Touching Each Other on the Red Carpet

At the grand premiere of Marvel’s “Fantastic Four”, stars Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby garnered attention for their noticeable closeness. Throughout the event, Pascal was frequently seen touching Kirby, which sparked curiosity among fans regarding their possible relationship.

In the movie, Pascal takes on the role of Reed Richards, while Kirby portrays Sue Storm. Additionally, Joseph Quinn plays Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach acts as Ben Grimm. The cast was revealed in February 2024, and since then, Pascal and Kirby have been busy filming and promoting the movie together.

Despite rumors swirling about a romantic connection, it’s important to clarify: Vanessa Kirby is currently in a relationship with Paul Rabil and is anticipating their first child together. Contrastingly, Pascal is not publicly linked to anyone at this point.

In a conversation with Jake Hamilton on Jake’s Take, Pascal expressed their strong bond, stating, “I believe we deeply recognize each other in our shared passion for our work, concern for one another, and mutual anxieties and aspirations. We can be self-critical at times, but I feel we are extremely alike.

During the red carpet event, Pascal was spotted affectionately touching Kirby, holding her arm and wrist. This behavior caught some spectators off guard, with a few labeling it “strange.” However, Pascal clarified that this physical contact serves as a means for them to offer mutual support and remind each other that they aren’t facing anything alone, expressing it as “‘we’re not alone in any of it.’

For this duo, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Back in 2024, Kirby offered his support by holding Pascal’s hand during a difficult time. Pascal himself has previously expressed that strong human connections aid him in managing his anxiety.

In a crucial moment, I found solace by reconnecting with the things that have always brought me comfort – nurturing my relationships, cherishing friendships, and enjoying meaningful conversations and shared experiences.

In addition, Kirby mentioned a heartwarming instance shared during an interview with Vanity Fair. She expressed, “We were both quite anxious appearing before thousands who adore the comic. He wanted me to realize we were in this together, and I found it a sweet gesture, feeling grateful to reciprocate by squeezing his hand back.
