Hollywood is buzzing with excitement as Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal were spotted enjoying a lengthy dinner together at West Hollywood's prestigious Tower Bar on Saturday evening. The pair spent three hours in deep conversation at the upscale Sunset Tower Hotel venue, igniting speculation about a potential romance between the two A-listers.
Photographers captured the stars exiting the restaurant around 11:30 p.m., with Aniston, 56, sporting a chic ensemble of cuffed black pants, a white T-shirt, and a stylish leather vest. Pascal, 49, complemented her look in a leather jacket paired with jeans and loafers.
"They arrived separately but were completely engaged in conversation throughout the evening," revealed an insider who witnessed the dinner. "There was definite chemistry between them."
This encounter follows a notable interaction between the pair at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. During a red carpet interview, Pascal reached for Aniston's hand, prompting a memorable reaction from the "Friends" star, who clutched his hand in both of hers while mouthing "Oh, my God" to cameras.
Social media has erupted with enthusiasm for the potential pairing. "Jennifer Aniston with Pedro Pascal having dinner!? Am I dreaming!?" wrote one fan on X, while another declared, "Jen Aniston and Pedro Pascal? This is hot."
Industry insiders suggest the dinner may have had professional undertones. Aniston and her "Morning Show" co-star Reese Witherspoon previously expressed interest in casting Pascal for the show's upcoming fourth season. During their Critics Choice Awards interaction, Witherspoon mentioned a "really good part" available for him.
When asked if Pascal's potential character would have romantic storylines, Aniston quipped, "All of us," to which Pascal jokingly responded, "I sleep with everyone on the show."
Pascal, known for his roles in "The Last of Us" and the upcoming "Gladiator II," has kept his dating life private, though past rumors have linked him to actresses Maria Dizzia, Lena Headey, and Robin Tunney.
Aniston's romantic history includes marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. Since her divorce from Theroux in 2018, she hasn't publicly dated anyone, while Theroux recently married Nicole Brydon Bloom in Mexico earlier this month.
Representatives for both Aniston and Pascal have not responded to requests for comment on the nature of their dinner meeting, leaving fans eagerly awaiting confirmation of whether this was a romantic encounter or a discussion about future collaboration.
