Who has Pedro Pascal dated in the past?

Pascal has been linked to half of Hollywood by now, from Oscar Isaac to Sarah Paulson. (From everything we know, he’s just friends with both.)

During the filming of Game Of Thrones, Pascal was linked to co-star Lena Headey, who played the villainous Cersei Lannister. 

The pair lavished affection on each other with Pascal saying in a Reddit AMA that she is one of his favourite people.

“Lena is one of my favorite persons [sic]. And she (in life) is so funny and so smart, such a good person, a good friend and a good mother, I think everyone on that set and anyone who comes in contact with her develops an instant crush,” he wrote.

Headey even posted a photo of the pair on Instagram with the caption “sunshine love”. 

However, it appears the two may have just been really good friends.

In 2015, Pascal was also linked to The Mentalist co-star Robin Tunney. In the same AMA, the actor stated Tunney was a “new friend” and that he had an amazing time with her on set.

Similarly, Pascal has frequently been linked to actress Sarah Paulson, but the two are very close friends. In fact, they’ve known each other since Pascal moved to New York in 1993.

Since his turn as the sexually liberal Oberyn Martell, Pascal has been considered a bisexual icon, but there has never been any confirmation of how Pedro defines his sexuality.
