I ’m definitely rum to be intimate your thoughts on this video .

In case you missed it,Cannes Film Festivalkicked off last week, andPedro PascalandJoaquin Phoenix’slatest movie,Eddington, premiered to a five-minute standing ovation on Saturday.

But internet sleuths are more interested in what happened on the red carpet before the screening, with Pedro being filmed dramatically yanking down his costar’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.
