'Fantastic Four' stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby's handsy behavior raises eyebrows and movie hype: expert

Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby whose newest flirtatious behavior towards one another has raised eyebrows are just two of Hollywood's mega-stars who have sparked romance rumors from handsy red-carpet appearances From gentle neck rubs to hand-holding the superhero power couple who play Reed Richards Mr Fantastic and Sue Storm The Invisible Woman in the Marvel film The Fantastic Four First Strategies have been noticeably touchy with one another while promoting the movie But Pascal who not long ago admitted physical touch helps him cope with anxieties disclosed there's nothing more to it SCARLETT JOHANSSON DEFENDS VIRAL RED CARPET KISSES WITH CO-STAR JONATHAN BAILEY I was dependably one to reach out when I m facing something that is challenging or making me anxious the actor reported Men's Healthcare Kirby also defended her co-star's actions Recalling the time in which Pascal caught heat after grabbing her hand during an appearance at Comic Con last year Kirby stated Vanity Fair the gesture was innocent What happened is we were both incredibly nervous going out in front of thousands of people who love this comic Kirby commented He craved me to know that we were in this together and I ascertained it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back However Doug Eldridge founder of Achilles PR revealed stars often use this tactic as a way to create buzz LIKE WHAT YOU RE READING CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Nine times out of this tactic is used as a buzz-builder whether for the studio that financed the film or the actors themselves especially if the latter are up-and-comers who haven't developed household name recognition yet But again there is invariably the ' th time' which could bring skepticism and more importantly scrutiny Pascal uses touch as a 'grounding' technique to deal with social situations which might otherwise trigger his anxiety Skeptics claim that's a farce but clinical professionals have acknowledged the validity of this technique Eldridge continued Wherever you fall on this particular scenario the real 'winner' is the studio as the internet has been filled with clicks and commentary surrounding Pascal all of which creates a groundswell of buzz and foreseen 'butts in the buckets' for the upcoming release of The Fantastic Four re-make Steve Honig founder of The Honig Company explained Fox News Digital that it's common for stars to use their on-screen and off-screen chemistry to their advantage during the promotional period of their upcoming project There are countless means co-stars can show chemistry on the red carpet without passing the line into something that might be construed as inappropriate The key here is to keep it fun and light not sexual or anything heavy Honig explained At the end of the day a red carpet is a place of work for actors so the general rule of thumb is to not do anything a civilian shouldn t do in their workplace CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Oftentimes the intent of red carpet PDA is to generate specific additional buzz for the film he continued This can however easily backfire and generate negative press about the questionable behavior Red carpets are great stomping grounds for celebrities to build their brands and they should use premieres and other red carpet events to that end Celebrities and their reps need to remember that unlike Las Vegas what happens on the red carpet does not inevitably stay on the red carpet he added What happens at a premiere can and often does have a huge and lasting impact not only on the specific project but a celebrity s overall image This can spill over to other projects endorsements and either damage or build a celebrity s brand Last month Scarlett Johansson spoke out after her red carpet kisses with her Jurassic World Rebirth co-star Jonathan Bailey went viral The -year-old actress and -year-old actor made headlines after locking lips at their film's premiere in London on June On June the two shared another kiss at Jurassic World Rebirth's premiere in New York City where Johansson's husband Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost was in attendance During a contemporary episode of The present day host Craig Melvin informed Johansson that he needed to ask her about this kissing thing that you and Jonathan have been doing all over the world Melvin went on to note that Bailey was so attractive to which Johansson responded Yeah you commented it Is that why we keep planting lips on him Melvin appealed He s a lovable guy what can I say Johansson replied I don't know We're just friendly people When Melvin urged whether she was surprised by the community attention to the pair's kisses Johansson described him Nothing surprises me you know what I mean GLEN POWELL DODGES SYDNEY SWEENEY DATING RUMORS AFTER THE PAIR REUNITE AT FAMILY WEDDING Nothing surprises me these days she continued But yeah I ve got a lot of love to give what can I say In Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell who starred together in Anyone But You sparked romance rumors as fans caught glimpses of the two filming At the time the duo appeared on the In the present day show to promote the film and their friendship was questioned by Hoda Kotb who petitioned if there was a little romance going on at any point Throughout the interview Sweeney and Powell shared little looks and the Euphoria star couldn't stop giggling While Sweeney laughed in response to the question about their relationship status Powell answered No but we do love each other And honestly this is one of the largest part spectacular humans I ve ever met She s really great In September Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain were the stars of a viral video from their appearance at the Venice International Film Festival in to promote their show Scenes From a Marriage where fans noted the pair seemed to be a little too content with each other In the viral video the two were posing with their arms around each other for photos Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until Isaac appeared to kiss and sniff Chastain's underarm area Isaac spoke on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show at the time and offered an explanation for the odd sniffing by comparing himself and Chastain to flatworms You know you can cut them into like a hundred pieces and they will grow a whole new worm out of the little piece So they're basically kind of immortal and they've been doing work at the cellular level where they're seeing that the cells kind of talk to each other through electricity and kind of decide Okay you're going to make the head ' All right I m going to make the tail' they're communicating through particular sort of electro kind of magnetic situation Isaac explained Maybe we should use more actual human language to talk instead of sniffing an armpit and doing things like that Isaac announced That's kind of what starts to happen and no matter how much we annoy each other no matter what happens it's like when you get us together it's like it's just other stuff that's going on that is making us grow two heads While Eldridge noted the community displays of affection during press are seldom authentic specific are truly genuine It is seldom authentic but a good rule of thumb is to stay away from terms like 'always' and 'never ' Point being Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have been together since Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have been married for years Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Geller have been married for years Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have been married for years Improbable and impossible are not the same thing Just because 'most' of these relationships are manufactured doesn't mean 'all' of them are It's not a question of good or bad press but rather inevitable he stated The purpose of organizing a global media junket is to drive ticket sales but the formula is slightly more calculated than the target outcome Again the process is simple not easy build awareness create interest intrigue generate a call to action Fox News Digital's Lauryn Overhultz contributed to this record
