Vanessa Kirby’s comments about marrying Pedro Pascal arose after fans noticed how she and Pascal platonically held hands and leaned into each other during their press tour. While some fans thought the interactions pointed to romance, it’s clear Pascal loves genuinely connecting with those around him. He spoke to Men’s Health about how reconnecting with people in person has helped his anxiety.

“It’s something I’ve held onto very much. I was always one to reach out when I’m facing something that is challenging or making me anxious,” Pascal shared in July 2025. “I definitely kind of stopped doing that, and instead I’m doomscrolling, or looking for something to watch; looking for different ways to disassociate from the feeling I’m having. And then, when it started to feel so critical, I had to go back to what was always the comfort for me in life, which was engagement in my relationships, my friendships, and conversation and shared experience.”

Additionally, in 2023, he told The Last of Us co-star Bella Ramsay how he copes with anxiety in high-stress moments. Pascal reaches out to touch someone close to him. Psychologists speaking to DailyMail.com noted that Pascal is on to something. Physical touch is “one of the most powerful and natural ways” to help anxiety.
