‘The Mandalorian’ Star Gina Carano Reveals Pedro Pascal Offered Private Advice

Gina Carano is once again discussing her unique journey from Hollywood to the fighting arena, sharing insights about her past relationship with Pedro Pascal.

In a recent interview highlighted by The Hollywood Reporter, Carano revealed that Pascal never publicly criticized her during the controversy surrounding her departure from ‘The Mandalorian’. Instead, she noted that he reached out privately, offering guidance on how to handle the online backlash she faced at the time.

Carano characterized Pascal as someone who avoided public disputes but still provided support behind the scenes. His advice was aimed at de-escalating tensions and managing the backlash in a manner that would minimize conflict.

Despite this private communication, Carano confirmed that their relationship did not persist following the incident. She mentioned that they are no longer in contact, with their last conversation occurring in 2024 after the passing of co-star Carl Weathers.

“But no,” she said. “Me and Pedro don’t keep in touch.”

Carano also reflected on the wider implications of her removal from the Star Wars franchise in 2021, which stemmed from her controversial social media posts that sparked significant backlash, ultimately leading to her dismissal by Lucasfilm. The character she portrayed was subsequently written out of the series.

Following her exit, she initiated legal action against The Walt Disney Company regarding her termination. Although the case was settled, the specifics were not disclosed.

Currently, Carano is gearing up for a return to the fighting scene, with a match against Ronda Rousey scheduled in Los Angeles. She has been dedicating the past few months to training and enhancing her physical fitness.

While she hints at a potential return to acting in the future, she emphasizes her current focus on health and her fighting career. This narrative illustrates how swiftly relationships in the entertainment industry can change under public scrutiny, and highlights the contrast between private communications and public perceptions.
