Jennifer Aniston wished pal Pedro Pascal a happy 50th birthday less than two weeks after the pair debunked dating rumors.
The “Friends” star, 56, sent a sweet message to the “Gladiator II” actor on Wednesday as he rang in the milestone by reposting on her Instagram Story a New Yorker comic about how “nice” he is.
The black-and-white sketch featured a drawing of a therapy session, with a doctor telling his patient, “It’s not strange at all — lately, a lot of people are reporting that their faith in humanity is riding entirely on whether or not Pedro Pascal is as nice as he seems.”

“Can confirm — as nice as he seems 🙋♀️,” Aniston wrote above the post, adding, “Happy Birthday PP! 🥳🎈.”
Last month, the two sent the internet into a frenzy after they were spotted enjoying a three-hour dinner date in Los Angeles.
Pascal and Aniston were photographed exiting the Tower Bar in the Sunset Tower Hotel alongside a group of friends. Social media immediately gushed over the “hot” pairing, rooting for a potential romantic relationship between the two.
Aniston’s sweet post came less than two weeks after she and Pascal sparked dating rumors.
However, insiders were quick to squash the fantasies.
“There is no romance going on between Jennifer Aniston and Pedro Pascal,” a source told Page Six last week. “They respect each other as artists, but it’s strictly platonic and they’re not dating.”
Similarly, a source told People that Aniston “likes [Pascal’s] energy and would love to work with him,” teasing a potential “Morning Show” appearance.
The two were spotted on a dinner date with friends in Los Angeles.
However, insiders later told Page Six there was nothing romantic going on between the two.
The Chilean actor confirmed that he and the “Just Go With It” actress were nothing more than “very good friends” at the Season 2 premiere of the “Last of Us” days later.
He told “Entertainment Tonight” they had a “fun” time at the martini-filled dinner.
Pascal joked that all the attention surrounding their outing was due to Aniston’s “starlight” — not his.
“I’m just basking in it!” he said with a smile.
