Me too, Pedro, me too.

The over-saturation of Pedro Pascal in pop culture is nearing its logical conclusion. People are getting sick of him — especially, it would seem, his female co-stars.

Pascal has been open about his struggles with social anxiety, and as the most in-demand actor in Hollywood, he’s had to walk more red carpets and appear in more media spots than many of his peers. One way he deals with this anxiety is physical touch. According to Pascal, when he’s anxious, he puts his hand on his stomach or reaches for the hand of someone else to help calm him down.

There is video of him whispering this to Bella Ramsay on the red carpet for HBO’s The Last of Us, as well as at San Diego Comic-Con, when his Fantastic Four co-star Vanessa Kirby notices his anxiousness and lets him rub her arm.

Well, fans have picked up on the fact that Pascal, who hasn’t publicly discussed his sexuality, only does this with his female co-stars. And as you can probably guess, people are calling him a creep for it.

In a recent video posted to Marvel Studios’ Twitter page, Pascal and Kirby posed for the camera before the Fantastic Four blue carpet, and again, Pascal is seen rubbing Kirby’s arm.

I don’t know what this means for Pascal or for Kirby, but I do know most people online are just jealous. I’d say go “touch grass,” but what most of ya’ll really need is to touch a woman — if only they’d let you!
