Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby’s oddly intimate press tour leaves fans confused: ‘Very handsy’

   

Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby turned heads with their intimate moments on the “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” press tour.

A fan took to X to share a compilation of videos of the co-stars getting handsy during several interviews for their forthcoming Marvel film.

One clip showed the actress, who is engaged to Paul Rabil and pregnant, with her hand around the “Last Of Us” star’s shoulder as she caressed his face.

In another video, Kirby, 37, tenderly approached Pascal, 50, and embraced him on the side with her face nearly touching his cheek.

A third clip showed the “Crown” star holding the actor’s hand while talking about “some of the best men in the world.”

Fans were confused by the duo’s touchy interactions, with one commenting, “Why is she rubbing him like that?”

“Actors are very touchy feely I’ll never understand it,” another chimed in.

“this is crazy,” a third wrote, as a fourth agreed, “Very handsy.”

Others defended the friends, claiming that Pascal might “suffer from some type of anxiety disorder” and need “touch … to make him calm down and feel comfortable.”

“So she can’t be friends with her co star???” another added, as a fan wrote, “there’s nothing wrong here.”

Reps for Kirby and Pascal weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Kirby, meanwhile, got engaged to Rabil in December 2024 after two years of dating, Page Six exclusively revealed.

In June, the “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” star revealed she was pregnant when she put her bump on display for a photocall in Mexico City.

The “Game of Thrones” alum, however, briefly sparked romance rumors with Jennifer Aniston when they were spotted at dinner in West Hollywood, Calif., in March.

The “Mandalorian” actor immediately shut down the rumblings, telling “Entertainment Tonight” that they were “very good friends.”
