Since he seems so cool, many fans are fascinated by Pedro Pascal's bromance with Oscar Isaac and the bond he created with his Last of Us co-star Bella Ramsay. Many of those same fans also have been delighted by the times Sarah Paulson has spoken about her friendship with Rihanna.
As fascinating as those relationships are, many fans are even happier after recently discovering how close Paulson and Pascal are. In fact, some observers are so mesmerized by the close bond the two actors share that they've become convinced that Pascal and Paulson's relationship is romantic.
After years of being one of the best actors in the world, Pedro Pascal's career has gone to a whole new level in the last couple of years. Between shows like The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, millions of fans have tuned in to watch Pascal weekly for months.
With Pascal more in the spotlight than at any other time in the past, there is a thirst for knowledge about the popular actor. As a result, when Sarah Paulson spoke to Esquire in 2023 about the fact that she helped Pascal financially early in his career, millions of fans needed to learn more.
“He’s talked about this publicly, but there were times when I would give him my per diem from a job I was working on so that he could have money to feed himself.” During the same interview, Paulson commented on why fans have grown to love Pascal and what she believes he is capable of.
“You just want him to succeed. And that to me, I feel like, is the sign of a major movie star. I’m ready for him to take the reins from the guys from romantic comedies past, like Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson and all these guys. He can be all that. Let’s remake Die Hard with Pedro. Remake all the Lethal Weapon movies with Pedro.”
After Paulson was clear about how much she believed in Pascal, many people were curious to learn more about the two actors' bond. As it turns out, Pascal and Paulson have had a relationship since 1993 when they both were still in their teens.
In 2014, Paulson and Pascal had a conversation for Interview Magazine. During the resulting piece, Pascal spoke about feeling adopted by Paulson and her friends when he first made his way to New York City in 1993. Pascal then went on to explain that he and Paulson deeply bonded with each other after a night out when they met Woody Harrelson and they both got hit by a cabbie together.
"We had our little celebrity sighting moment and that, in retrospect, was our first step towards bonding, which cut to, I’m pretty sure that night, drinking 40s, me being on Romi’s shoulders running down Fifth Avenue, and getting knocked down by a cabbie. I think you were on somebody’s shoulders too."
In response to Pascal's remarks, Paulson looked back on that fateful night. Then Paulson went on to refer to how much she and Pascal partied together in their youth.
"I sure was. I remember that so clearly. It’s a wonder we survived. When I think about the debauchery, the things that we did, the kind of s**t we were pulling, and the way we were behaving, I don’t even know how we made it to the next morning, much less 20 years later."
According to Pascal and Paulson, the two actors grew apart at one point when she made her way to Los Angeles. Fortunately, they later reconnected and have been very close ever since. As Pascal said during the Interview Magazine conversation, "We attached to each other and haven’t been able to let go."
In recent years, Paulson and Pascal have displayed their tight bond publicly many times. Perhaps the best example of that is the two actors regularly post images and videos of each other on social media. They also have both professed how much they care about each other on social media repeatedly.
When Pascal made his Broadway debut, Paulson posted a photo of the pals celebrating together with a caption that started by saying, "I love you @pascalispunk". Pascal has also paid tribute to Paulson on social media many times including one time he posted, "Your work is my measure @mssarahcatharinepaulson".
On top of professing their love and admiration for each other on social media repeatedly, Pascal and Paulson have attended several awards shows together in the past. There also is a history of the paparazzi capturing photos of Paulson and Pascal hanging out during their time off.
Looking closer at Pascal and Paulson's relationship, it is clear the two actors are very close friends. However, it is somewhat understandable that some people may think they have been a couple. After all, many Hollywood couples seem to display their relationship on social media and by appearing on red carpets together.
Considering that it seems very clear that Sarah Paulson and Pedro Pascal have never been a couple and never will be, there is something else fans want to know. Who has the two talented, gorgeous, and charming friends been dating?
When it comes to Paulson, many years ago she was in a long-term relationship with the playwright Tracy Letts, and they were even engaged. After Paulson and Letts broke up, she went on to fall for the actor Holland Taylor.
Most famous these days for her years starring in Two and a Half Men, Taylor is an acting legend. Reportedly together since 2015, Paulson and Taylor have seemed very happy together from the outside looking in.
As of the time of this writing, Pascal isn't publicly linked to anyone. That said, Pascal may have a significant other that he is keeping under wraps to avoid the harsh spotlight.
In the past, Pascal has been linked in the press to several women including Simi Khadra, Maria Dizzia, and Robin Tunney. Most notably, it was reported that Pascal dated the actor who played his Game of Thrones character's sworn enemy, Lena Headey.
