Hollywood’s most guarded heart may have just given paparazzi something to chew on.
Beloved actor Pedro Pascal, known for his roles in The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, found himself at the centre of fresh romance speculation after being seen in New York City with Argentine creative director Rafael Olarra, who once dated actor Luke Evans.
Photographs shared by paparazzi show the pair strolling arm in arm through Manhattan’s Lower East Side during Valentine’s weekend, stopping for lunch and later heading to a screening of Wuthering Heights. Their relaxed, companionable demeanour caught the attention of fans and social media sleuths alike, many of whom are now debating whether there’s more than friendship between them.
Olarra, 47, has a colourful personal history in the entertainment world. He previously went public with Luke Evans in early 2020 before the two split in 2021. Pascal, 50, by contrast, has meticulously kept his private life out of the public spotlight, offering few public clues about his romantic life despite decades in the limelight.
Neither man has confirmed the nature of their relationship, leaving outlets and fans to sift through every picture and moment for subtext. What is clear, though, is that Pascal’s weekend with Olarra drew plenty of attention from bystanders and generated fresh chatter in entertainment circles worldwide.
