Fans spot Vanessa Kirby's heartwarming move to help Pedro Pascal as they stood on stage

Fans have spotted a heartwarming way that Vanessa Kirby helped out Pedro Pascal at a red carpet event.

Being a celebrity comes with a whole lot of stress and pressure from being in the public eye.

It's a lot to handle at the best of times, but if you have anxiety then it's even worse.

Pascal has opened up previously about struggling with the mental health condition.

The star of The Mandalorian and The Last of Us has a set of techniques and strategies to help manage his anxiety, particularly in high stress environments like walking the red carpet.

In a couple of recent red carpet events, fans have spotted that Pascal's costars have helped him to manage his anxiety in the high-pressured situation.

And one with Vanessa Kirby has fans commenting on how sweet it was to see someone being so supportive.

One way that Pascal tries to ease his anxiety is that, when he feels anxious, he makes physical contact with someone to help ground himself.

When he was onstage with Vanessa Kirby, he signalled to her that he needed a helping hand, and Kirby literally offered him one.

In a sweet gesture she held Pascal's hand onstage to help him steady his anxiety during an appearance at San Diego Comic Con.

Fans were impressed both by Kirby's gesture to help Pascal, as well as his own ways of looking after himself and bravery in speaking openly about his anxiety.

One said: "protect this man at all costs", while another wrote: "What a great gesture, anxiety attacks are horrible."

Meanwhile, a third posted: "As if you needed another reason to love Pedro."

Another red carpet appearance to promote The Last of Us - alongside co-star Bella Ramsey - saw Pascal placing his palm over the centre of his chest.

He can then be heard explaining to his co-star that 'that's where my anxiety is' as the photographers snap pictures.

Pascal has been public about his anxiety, saying in an interview with The Guardian: “Anxiety is something that I’ve lived with since I was a child, so it’s a part of my chemistry. I don’t know what kind of person I’d be without it.

"It’s something that I manage, but it’s also part of what makes me, me.”

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems and can be absolutely debilitating for patients.

Symptoms include panic attacks, low mood, a racing heart, and worrying excessively about things which might happen.
