Pedro Pascal Gushes About 'Martini' Dinner With Jennifer Aniston

Actor Pedro Pascal has opened up about his three-hour dinner with Friends star Jennifer Aniston.

However, he is shooting down dating rumors that sparked after the two actors were photographed outside the dinner venue.

“Jennifer and I are very good friends, and I got to have dinner on Saturday, and it was a fun martini dinner,” Pascal said to Entertainment Tonight. The reporter joked that Pascal can’t even have a martini dinner without everyone talking about it.

“That’s her starlight. I’m just basking in it,” Pascal said.

He told E! News a similar story, saying, “We’re friends and we went to dinner with mutual friends. It happens.”

According to Page Six, Pascal “irritated colleagues by skipping a promotional event for his show” after the “lingering” dinner with Aniston.

Pascal did attend the premiere of HBO’s The Last of Us, according to Page Six, but he skipped a party afterward.

Pascal told the event’s organizers that “he wasn’t feeling well and he wanted to leave after the introduction,” a source told Page Six, which noted that this did not “sit well” with some people because he had just gone out to dinner with Anison and was well enough to do that.

According to Page Six, people at the event then “immediately went into gossip mode” because of Pascal’s earlier dinner with Aniston.

Aniston is divorced twice, from actors Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. Pascal is single and has kept his dating history under wraps. Theroux recently remarried in a beach wedding in Mexico.
