Sorry everyone, but Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston are not dating, he has confirmed.
This week the Friends star, 56, and The Last Of Us icon, 49, were seen grabbing a bite to eat at the Tower Bar at the Sunset Tower Hotel, West Hollywood, leaving fans spiralling.
But now Pedro has broken hearts everywhere, confirming they are nothing more than pals.
‘We’re friends and we went to dinner with mutual friends,’ he told E! News at the March 24 premiere of The Last Of Us season 2, adding: ‘It happens.’
On the aforementioned outing Jennifer, who was once married to Brad Pitt, kept things casual in blue denim jeans and a white t-shirt.
Pedro, meanwhile, rocked jeans, suede boots, and an effortlessly cool brown leather jacket.
Mail Online reported that the Hollywood heavyweights enjoyed a three-hour dinner together, leaving separately around 11.30pm.
Naturally, the internet went into a frenzy following their meeting leaving many wondering whether we were witnessing the next best Hollywood bffls, or something more.
‘Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal… yeah I see the vision so clearly,’ Anistonily wrote on X.
Jenanistoworld said: ‘Jennifer Aniston with Pedro Pascal having dinner!? Am I dreaming!? Please.’
Others said they ‘should make a comedy movie together’, while some were simply desperate to know ‘what’s cooking’ between the pair.
‘If by some weird cosmic miracle Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston become romantically involved, my heart would be so so happy,’ Jericalrogers speculated.
Trumanswhack agreed, adding: ‘Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston I don’t know what’s going on but I support it with my whole chest.’
Many came to the conclusion that Jennifer and Pedro’s dinner date might mean he will appear on Aniston’s TV series, The Morning Show.
At the Critics Choice Awards this year, Jennifer and her co-star Reese Witherspoon invited him to join the Apple TV show for its fourth season.
Pedro told them to ‘pitch it to him now’ after Reese said she has a ‘really good part for him.’

He questioned if the part involved ‘anything romantic with anybody’, to which Jennifer jokingly responded ‘all of us.’
‘I sleep with everyone on the show,’ Pedro joked. ‘I’m in. All right, I’ll be waiting to hear from my agents.’
Jennifer’s outing comes after her ex-husband Justin Theroux married actress Nicole Brydon Bloom, leaving her ‘blindsided.’
Justin and Jennifer wed in 2015 before separating in 2018.
