Pedro Pascal Dramatically Yanked Joaquin Phoenix’s Arm Down On A Cannes Red Carpet, And People Think They Know The Sad Reason Why
Hot Topic
But internet sleuths are more interested in what happened on the red carpet before the screening, with Pedro being filmed dramatically yanking down his co-star’s arm as he waved to fans.
In the footage, Joaquin can be seen waving directly in front of him, but then straightens his arm out as he turns to the side. Pedro grabs Joaquin’s arm and pushes it down.

Joaquin looks flustered as Pedro says something indecipherable to him — and then seemingly mutters “oh my god” to himself before going back to posing for the waiting paparazzi.
After the video emerged online, some began to speculate that Pedro was stopping his friend from being photographed inadvertently performing a Nazi salute. This is defined as a salute where the arm is inclined upwards with the hand open and palm down.
One person shared the video to a pop culture Reddit forum with the headline: “Pedro Pascal pulled down Joaquin Phoenix’s arm before an accidental salute,” and it certainly sparked conversation. In fact, at the time of writing, the thread has over 68k upvotes and more than 2000 comments.
