Pedro Pascal Touching Willem Dafoe Wife: The latest Marvel Studios film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, released on July 25 in theatres to a good response. However, its lead star, Pedro Pascal is in the midst of yet another controversy. After several videos of Pedro Pascal kissing and touching The Fantastic Four actress Vanessa Kirby went viral – and some turned out to be AI-generated – another video of the actor touching a female on her chin has resurfaced from 2024. The video in question shows Pedro Pascal seemingly touching inappropriately, the wife of Spider-Man actor Willem Dafoe. But did it really happen, or is it generated through Artificial Intelligence? Let’s find out.

Did Pedro Pascal Touch Willem Dafoe’s Wife Inappropriately?

According to The New York Post, the incident took place during Willem Dafoe’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2024. The NYPost in its report on January 9, 2024, wrote about how Pedro Pascal caressed the face of Willem Dafoe’s wife Giada Colagrande. The report was based on a video from the event that went viral on the social media app TikTok, with several fan reactions mentioned. That same video from last year has resurfaced, just as Pedro Pascal has had two back-to-back movie releases – the aforementioned The Fantastic Four: First Steps and the June 2025 release Materialists with Dakota Johnson. While most clips of Pedro Pascal with Vanessa Kirby have turned out to be deepfakes and some are real, the resurfaced clip showing him touching Willem Dafoe’s wife – and that, too, in the senior actor’s presence – has led to Pascal’s newfound fans wondering if they should back him.

What Happened in the Pedro Pascal-Willem Dafoe Wife Video?

Vanessa Kirby dismissed Pedro Pascal’s touchy-feely behaviour as nothing but him comforting her when she was pregnant. The actress was reportedly seen stroking Pedro Pascal's face during The Fantastic Four promotions in 2025. In the 2024 case though, neither Willem Dafoe nor his wife has not issued a statement or made a formal complaint or legal case against Pedro Pascal, who has not addressed the issue publicly either. From the 2024 video, it seems Giada Colagrande did not make much of Pascal’s gesture. However, it was obvious that Willem Dafoe did not take too kindly to the Narcos actor’s behaviour and winced. Pedro firmly backed off, and thank God for that!
