It\u2019s yet ANOTHER bizarre bit of Fantastic Four press tour drama<\/p>\n

Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby got attacked by, frankly, weirdos who completely misunderstood their friendship during the Fantastic Four press tour. The pair are super close friends, and Pedro Pascal has openly talked about how they use physical touch<\/a> to quash their anxiety when doing press and being photographed and videoed on the world stage. But things haven\u2019t been helped by a deepfake video going viral that many believed to be true which shows Pedro Pascal kissing Vanessa Kirby and making her uncomfortable. But it isn\u2019t real! Just bizarre.<\/p>\n

The deepfake has been widely circulated<\/p>\n

I am not reposting the viral video edit of all the deepfake edits which sees Pedro Pascal try to kiss Vanessa Kirby three different times and a journalist in another \u2013 because it\u2019s already had enough views \u2013 but you can see in the following screenshots how bad it is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One shows him pull in to kiss her on the cheek.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The other is this edit, as well as another where she\u2019s in a black dress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The replies are ridiculous, with people talking about his \u201canxiety game\u201d when he\u2019s been open about their closeness and it\u2019s totally platonic and mutual.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the original clip which one of the deepfake edits has distorted:<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby have ACTUALLY said about each other<\/p>\n

Pedro Pascal has been open about how close they are, saying of Vanessa \u201cI think that we really, really see each other in ourselves in terms of our care for what we do, our care for one another, and our mutual fears, our mutual expectations. We can be kind of hard on ourselves, and I just think that we\u2019re very, very similar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pedro Pascal has revealed the reason he has been so physically close with Vanessa Kirby during Fantastic Four press is because the pair of them like to remind each other that they\u2019re there for each other because they find the red carpet photo ops overwhelming. He says \u201cWe are always grabbing onto one another to remind each other that we\u2019re not alone in any of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pedro has previously told Men\u2019s Health that he gets bad anxiety, and \u201cWhen it started to feel so critical, I had to go back to what was always the comfort for me in life, which was engagement in my relationships, my friendships, and conversation and shared experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vanessa Kirby has also said of their bond and the reaction to how close they are physicallyWhat happened is we were both incredibly nervous going out in front of thousands of people who love this comic. He wanted me to know that we were in this together, and I found it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deepfake edit of Pedro Pascal is just adding to a harmful and baseless narrative about Vanessa Kirby on the Fantastic Four that some idiots on Twitter just can\u2019t seem to get their head around. Brutally put perhaps, but completely true.<\/p>\n
