If you noticed Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby constantly holding onto each other at the Fantastic Four premiere, you weren’t alone. Fans quickly pointed out their close body language. But there’s a sweet reason behind it.
Pascal plays Reed Richards; Kirby is Sue Storm. Despite rumors, they’re not a couple. Vanessa is in a relationship and expecting her first child; Pedro is single but deeply connected to his co-star.

Pedro revealed that grabbing onto each other helps them remember they’re not alone during big, nerve-racking events. It’s about mutual support and understanding their shared struggles with expectations and fears.
Vanessa confirmed this, recalling a moment when she held Pedro’s hand during an anxious crowd, feeling comforted by the gesture. Fans have been quick to defend the duo, noting that what matters is how comfortable and supported they feel — nothing else.
