Perhaps Pedro Pascal is all partied out!
Rumors are swirling around the actor who caused a stir after enjoying a prolonged dinner with Jennifer Aniston, which seemed to annoy his colleagues when he missed a promotional function for his series.
On Monday, Pascal made an appearance at the premiere of HBO’s “The Last of Us” Season 2 at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood but opted out of attending the accompanying party held at The Hollywood Roosevelt, located right nearby.
His handlers apparently gave the classic excuse that he “had to be on set in the morning.” But a source told Page Six that wasn’t the case.
Pascal seems to have arrived to the premiere ready to leave.
“He told [organizers] that he wasn’t feeling well and he wanted to leave after the introduction [to the movie],” a spy told Page Six.
This decision reportedly didn’t sit well with HBO organizers responsible for the event. Sources say they quickly started buzzing about it, speculating on the extended dinner he shared with Jennifer Aniston over the weekend.
“[The attitude] was like he could go out with [Aniston], but not come to our party?,” the source said.
“He was expected to show up. He could stay out there all night, and yet not come to his own party,” they added.
To be fair, Pascal has been on an intense press run promoting the show, including attending a press conference the morning of the premiere, press junkets, and walking the red carpet. He even cleared up “dating” buzz about him and Aniston in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” on the carpet.
“Jennifer and I are very good friends,” he told the entertainment news show. He descirbed their platonic date as a “fun martini dinner.”
The “Game of Thrones” star, 49, then smiled and said he’s just basking in Aniston’s, 56, starlight.
As for season 2 of his HBO show, he told “Extra” at the premiere, “I’m so excited for everyone to see it.” “It’s been so long. We’ve all waited so long, and we waited a long time to get back together and shoot the second season, and everyone has waited so long for it to be released, so I’m just so happy that we get to share it with the world. Everyone cares so deeply about this thing.”
Season 2 of “The Last of Us” premieres April 13 on HBO and Max.
