Could Hollywood be witnessing the emergence of a fresh power duo? Over the weekend, rumors of a romantic link between Pedro Pascal and Jennifer Aniston ignited after they were spotted sharing an intimate, three-hour dinner in West Hollywood. Since her separation from Justin Theroux in 2018, Aniston has kept her love life under wraps, her most notable relationship being her marriage to Brad Pitt in the early 2000s. Conversely, Pascal has maintained a relatively private personal life, albeit being previously romantically connected with actresses Maria Dizzia, Lena Headey, and Robin Tunney.
On Saturday night, paparazzi captured the pair exiting the Tower Bar at the iconic Sunset Tower Hotel, exuding effortless style and deeply engrossed in conversation as they awaited their valet. Aniston stuck to her signature cool-girl aesthetic, donning a black leather vest layered over a crisp white tee, accompanied by cuffed black pants and stylish boots. Pascal complemented her look with his own fashionable ensemble, featuring a leather jacket, denim jeans, and loafers.
The sighting sent social media into a tizzy. One fan exclaimed on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, "I'M HERE FOR THIS!" while another gushed, "What a smoking hot couple!" Some speculated that Pascal's presence could hint at a guest appearance on "The Morning Show," the hit Apple TV+ series starring Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.
Fueling these speculations further, fans unearthed a flirty red carpet encounter between the two at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. In the viral clip, Pascal reached for Aniston's hand, prompting her to grip his tightly and gaze directly into the camera, mouthing the words, "Oh, my God." At the event, Witherspoon had been teasing Pascal about a potential role on "The Morning Show," mentioning that there was "a really good part" he'd be perfect for. Pascal playfully obliged, saying, "Pitch it to me now. I’m in. I’ll be waiting to hear from my agents. Draw it up. Send me a script. Or just pitch it to me in the room." When a reporter jokingly suggested he might play a love interest, the "Last of Us" star quipped, "I sleep with everyone on the show," to which Aniston cheekily added, "It’s kind of real life."
Jennifer Aniston is gearing up to reprise her role as Alex Levy for Season 4 of "The Morning Show," and she won't be alone. The Emmy winner has already been spotted filming scenes for the popular Apple TV+ series. Late last year, Aniston was seen on set in Los Angeles, shooting a night scene alongside her long-time co-star Karen Pittman, who portrays the sharp and unflinching Mia Jordan. Photographs of the two actresses huddled closely together between takes fueled speculation that this season will delve deeper into their characters' bond.
While Aniston has been immersed in "The Morning Show," Pedro Pascal recently made headlines with his new Apple commercial. In the whimsical five-and-a-half-minute commercial titled "Someday," directed by acclaimed filmmaker Spike Jonze, Pascal portrays a heartbroken man navigating life post-breakup. The advertisement showcases Apple’s AirPods Pro 4 and their Active Noise Cancellation feature, which serves as a turning point in the character's emotional journey.
When Pascal's character activates the noise-canceling function, the gray, wintry city around him transforms into a kaleidoscope of colors and movement. Flower petals swirl, the mood brightens, and strangers become dance partners in an urban fairytale. Music and motion, choreographed by Tanisha Scott, renowned for her work with megastars like Rihanna and Beyoncé, lie at the heart of this transformation.
In one surreal sequence, Pascal's character experiences an out-of-body moment, catching a glimpse of his happier self dancing freely through the streets. This visual metaphor represents healing, from sorrow to self-expression, all triggered by the immersive sound of his AirPods. The ad begins with the melancholic tones of Guitarricadelafuente’s “Conticinio” and crescendos into the high-energy track “Perfect” by Sam i (featuring Tropkillaz, Bia, and MC Pikachu), Featuring an enchanting and mesmerizing hook that sings., “You’re perfect / Now work it.” In a standout moment, Pascal himself chants along with the beat, mid-dance.
