Normal people is one I’ll never get over. What a truly phenomenal show with such an impressive cast. Very few things have made me feel as many feelings as that show did. I’m happy to hear that he’s so proud of it - as he should be!
AN ICON AND A LEGEND. His quick raise to stardom is so well deserved, I love it when kind and hard-working people get to make their dreams come true and share their talents with us all
Aftersun and All of Us Strangers have an eerie heartbreaking similarity, both offer a take on childhood memory, the depths, pain, and fragility? of a parent-child relationship. The relationship between both films and Mescals portrayal of both characters is so magnificent to me, I need someone to study and write a paper on it lol
Nobody could have played the roles better than Paul and Daisy! I think the casting and the chemistry were entirely quintessential to the success of the show!
he's just this kind of person who obviously cares very deeply about his job and the characters he plays and still seems so awestruck by the other actors he is surrounded with, and i think that just makes him very charming and a person you want to know, because you can sense his kindness in the way he speaks and holds himself
He is so articulate and clearly deeply connected to and understanding of his craft. I am so glad we’re living at a time where there are so many future projects of his to come!
I was a recently divorced father with a young daughter when "Aftersun" came out and when I saw it, it absolutely broke me. When my friends asked me how do I feel I just told them to go watch Aftersun, since it is 100% how I felt at the time. Incredible film, and a very talented actor!
He deserved the Oscar for Aftersun. The most heart breaking and real depiction of depression I’ve ever seen. So understated and raw. Phenomenal performance. I still think about it regularly.
I just watched Aftersun for the first time, and I agree with you. Both Paul and Frankie Corio were incredible. Frankie should have received an Oscar nomination.
I love his choice of projects but also love hearing him so eloquently talk about acting, filmmaking and... well life. You cannot not love Paul Mescal ❤
I was pregnant when I first watched Normal People and cried for almost an hour after the last episode. I was so attached to Marianne and Connell. So much so, when I had thought about the last scene a week later, I sobbed for another hour. Thank you, Paul. This was my Roman Empire!
Normal People, what a rollercoaster !!! The cast, the script, I mean... it's phenomenal ! I still think about it today. I wish Paul and Daisy all the best. They're truly gifted ^^
When you find out what happened to his character in All of Us Strangers, it’s pretty devastating. I think I sobbed through the entire second half of that movie. When they show you his reality at the end and then go back to fantasy and Andrew is just holding him, It’s like a stab in the heart.
I love that he speaks about the characters, co-stars, directors, his acting coach and not himself. He shines through as a genuine guy who is humble and talented.
Aftersun is my favorite film of all time at the moment, and Normal People one of my favorite television shows. I also adored All of Us Strangers. As an actor myself, Paul is my biggest influence at the moment. Just elated for Gladiator II.
I found watching All of us strangers to be one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. There was something magical about Paul and Andrew's chemistry, unlike anything I've ever seen before. Its a shame Andrew got snubbed at the oscars. he was beyond phenomenal.
Carmen was OK on the first viewing - I plan to watch it again. But I can't seem to find God's Creatures anywhere. I also loved him in Foe, and it frustrates me that very few people have seen (and enjoyed) it.
@@annabelle2538 I couldn’t give two 💩💩. It seems like a new “Star” is pushed on the culture every other day by the Hollywood elites and the media using bots like you.
Hard to describe, but he’s the new generation of young actors-sensitive, emotionally vulnerable, not excessively masculine. All the Russell Crowe fans were disappointed he didn’t turn in a similar performance in Gladiator 2.

Normal people is a very well written and directed show. But Paul mescal's acting elevated that show to another level

Couldn't agree more! Paul deserves all the recognition in the world, but Daisy was absolutely outstanding in that too!
Acting was phenomenal across the board

I hope your mental health is doing better now. Your daughter deserves to grow up with her father. ❤

I can listen to him all day😭😭
Normal People, Aftersun, and All of Us Strangers have changed me as a person. I watched them all back to back and I'll never be the same. 💔
Just hearing him talk about Aftersun made my heart genuinely hurt. That movie is beyond devastating and life altering.

Fun fact: I was on a podcast with my buddies covering/reviewing Aftersun, and Frankie Corrio’s mom retweeted and shared our review/episode 🎉😊

aftersun is still my favourite movie of all time, i'm glad paul mescal is finally getting recognisation
I read the book and liked it, but let's be real, there's no falling in love with Normal People without Paul and Daisy playing Connell and Marianne.
Yes, the TV series was better than the book. Usually I find it is the other way around. Both actors are mesmerising.
Paul Mescal for James Bond!
Normal people is the greatest TV show of all time
Clearly never watched Wandavision
@@mamesjaunsell6467 overrated!
@@mamesjaunsell6467you’re not being serious 💀
Yes it is definitely very high on the greatest list of greatest tv shows being the greatest tv show.
It's ok!
I can't wait for the History of Sound!
His list are also my favorite pieces in recent years.
What a wonderful interview. Paul Mescal is a gem. I look forward to watching more of him in the coming years.
The first thing I saw Paul in was a play as part of an arts festival, it was Midsummer nights dream. Great outdoor production. It was about 6/7 years.
Paul Mescal is the best actor of his generation already.
I really liked him in All of Us Strangers
A someone that went to secondary school in Ireland normal people hit me to the core
Aftersun is a film making masterclass, the more films like that, the better
So talented!! Adore him!!
I think Aftersun and All of us strangers are his best films
Took 74 seconds to mention Daisy - new record for longest wait for her in an interview yet!
Thanks for breaking it down in such an engaging way!
I love Irish drama/film and its actors. Both are top quality.
Low-key we need a buddy cop film (ala The Nice Guys) with Paul and Josh O' Connor. Two of the great ones in recent years.
Brilliant idea - I'd love to see him do more comedy. We won't have to wait too long because he's hosting Saturday Night Live next week - I can't wait!
Aftersun is a masterpiece
I love how you break down every topic!
Strangers is a very different book than what All of us Strangers offers as a film.
Absolutely loved All of us Strangers though.
nothing better than GQ kino on a tuesday evening
Aftersun broke my heart
Normal People is the best show for me. Everything was beautiful.
Denny's sausage ads erasure will not be tolerated !!
It was his true breakout. The Yanks will never understand.
@@Martin-q3t1y oh no, we all watched that advert 😅
What a beautiful pitch for gladiator ii’s relevance
normal people is my roman empire
Me too! 😂
what a legend ❤
What about the sausage ad?
Aftersun
this is so important to me
Irish accent is pure magic ✨🥹
Aftersun messed me
Uhhh I love him so much
te amo Paul Mescal ojalá fueras real
dry heaved in bed after watching aftersun. thanks paul :)
Wish he talked about God's Creatures and Carmen too
Carmen was OK on the first viewing - I plan to watch it again. But I can't seem to find God's Creatures anywhere. I also loved him in Foe, and it frustrates me that very few people have seen (and enjoyed) it.
Perfection.
Love his palestine jacket
ohh just realised that, thank you
some films missing here! I looooved God's Creatures.
I'm really keen to watch God's Creatures. It's the only role in his official filmography that I haven't seen but I have yet to find it anywhere.
@@kylieb-p2515 It’s dark and disturbing
@ Noted, it's still high on my watchlist.
Paul Mescal you are one of my biggest insiprations
Stop looking at the camera im embarrassed 🙃😮💨

Everyday we wake up to a new declared legend, in their own minds.
Where have you been
@@annabelle2538 not watching idiotic shows with overrated British actors.
@@KamillGran-ch5sb he is not British and he has only done one tv show 😭 you’re clearly a bit confused lol

@@KamillGran-ch5sb "I don't know who this person is but they're overrated"
Come on. Bro has not been doing this for long enough to warrant a filmography breakdown surely 😅
Really don't get the hype with this guy was in one hit tv show and suddenly he's Brad Pitt 🤔
Brad Pitt has got nothing on Paul Mescal.
Hard to describe, but he’s the new generation of young actors-sensitive, emotionally vulnerable, not excessively masculine. All the Russell Crowe fans were disappointed he didn’t turn in a similar performance in Gladiator 2.
