As a Portuguese, I couldn’t help but notice that the flowers in his jacket reminded me of the carnation flowers from the Portuguese Carnation Revolution. And I think that’s beautiful. 🌹
I saw Gladiator II the other day and he more than holds his own in the role. He has big shoes to fill trying to keep the franchise going that Russell Crowe made his own and I think I was probably comparing him to Crowe in the first half of the movie but I did stop thinking about Crowe and focused on his performance by the second half or maybe earlier. I could see Ridley Scott making a third and Paul really shaking off the shadow of the first movie and this really making a name for himself. His accent is really good also - didn't hear his Irish accent come out once. Well worth watching.
I loved Paul Mescal in Normal People, Aftersun and All of Us Strangers. And I'm keen for Gladiator II. But I also want more people to see him with Saoirse Ronan in Foe - a sci-fi psychological thriller that deserves more recognition.
I wanted to see if all the PR had any validity, so I watched three of the four you mentioned. This guy is the real deal. The best I’ve seen sine the two Hoffmans.
@@buddys_dad Definitely one to watch. If he can stay grounded, and continues to make good choices, he'll be remembered as one of the greats of his generation.
@@buddys_dad I re-watched Foe and All of Us Strangers last night. No regrets! Aftersun is leaving Foxtel tomorrow - so I'm bracing myself of a final viewing.
Gladiator II was the first acting role that I saw Paul in, and I was very impressed with his performance. Not only was his acting great, but he fought like a badass too. I just read that Pedro Pascal called him "Brick Wall Paul" because he got really fit. 😂 I'll watch Aftersun next, and will no doubt be blown away by this talented young man's versatility.
When I first saw the trailers I thought it was Josh Hutcherson in the role and wasn't really interested in the film, but seeing Paul on Hot Ones and now this, he gives off a totally different vibe and seeing the movie actually seems worthwhile. Have to look up his other movies.
enjoyed the movies but please ridley scott change writers plus listen to experts advice a little bit. it would make the introvless comical to watch and i believe it was not intended
yes so many errors -- I rewatch part one and it was really hurting all the historical errors. No wonder the historical experts left the set of part one. Nothing wrong with the actors. Paul should continue to make movies like All of us strangers
@@liamjohnhawkins4212 I don't know. Most accents in Gladiator I were British. But the Roman-Australian sounded closer to British than the Roman-Irish actor does in Gladiator II.
awww that was kind of disappointing. the clip didnt make me believe that his voice could ignite the mens fire for revolution. like his voice was missing something, but will still watch the movie
Who else is unimpressed that Ridley Scott is spending enough money to end child hunger in the United States to make a historically inaccurate soft porn action movie?
I get where you're coming from, but that tussled hairstyle is deliberate - and done by a professional. According to the Vogue "Paul Mescal gets ready for the Gladiator II premiere" clip, both he and his hairstylist are into the 'mini-mullet' (I am not).
Actors pretending they achieve this physique with three months of training and not admitting to use steroids and other medication creates unrealistic body image expectations and harms young people in their development.
Doesn’t wanna be rude… but he doesn’t have the charisma for that role…. He seems a poet, not a fighter… I hope didn’t ruined the legacy 🤷♂️ Would be better just have one Galdiator
Spoiler alert: Maximus did slay the evil emperor of the Roman Empire in the old movie. That will create a legacy. Disappearing everyone from that movie, off screen, to create a completely unrelated story would have made zero sense.
@@TheRealDuckofDeath I think you are slowly falling into a stroke… are you smelling burnt toast…?? cause I don’t understand what you think “woke” has to do with a movie. But get in where you fit in, little man. 😆😆
Paul you turned a leading character into a Beta male with your weak performance..so disappointed they cast you in that role you clearly weren’t even meant for the film.
Very good actor I’m sure but completely miscast for the lead role. Got upstaged by Denzel and even Pedro. Ridley Scott directly hired him, he should leave it to casting directors to the job as he’s too old now
This man is so adorable, hard not to smile while listening to him. I love this Mescal-era!
realest everrr
Absolutely, funny and self deprecating while just fabulous
You love this mascara? hahahaa
They should have cast this guy as Harry Potter
I love me an Irish man and this one is the most adorable, physically and personality-wise. One hell of an actor too. See Aftersun.
😁

His jacket is mesmerizing. ☺️
Mesmerizing? Or is it learning lines?
“Memorizing” 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s an Irish designer called Simone Rocha, she’s amazing
@celestine023 Just stunning work! Thank you for letting me know! 😊
Agreed. First observation for me.

He has the best stylist and he is an incredible muse who isn't afraid to step out and experiment in his art form or in life.
We love paul mescal
He has some shtyle. More power to your fashion eye, Paul
When you are supernice, talented and look like Michelangelo’s David.
That's funny, because: "Can we go up to your room? Into your underwear, please" is exactly what I was planning on saying to Paul.
LOL

caution, that film will break you into pieces. 🥺
He is hilarious ❤
"Into your underwear, please."
🤨 "Um... buy me dinner, first."
Paul’s fit is❤️🔥
That’s what girls have to think about all the time

I'm a sucker for an Irishman, but I didn't know who he was a few months ago. Now I'm all in. ❤
Why is he wearing that jacket from the Grand Old Oprah is he the grandson of Mini Pearl ?! 😁 My best Halloween costume ( Mini Pearl)
Paul handsome armour do Entertain
The band!!!!!!!!!
He looks so much younger than in the clip.
Everytime I watch Paul Mescal i think how much he looks and sounds like Liam Neeson
He was on Hot Ones last week.
Good morning stephen colbert fans
He should do a biopic about fred again lol
If I could get a ticket to watch Paul Mescal live in Streetcar, I'd fork out for a plane ticket to fly to the other side of the planet.
Come on now please don't disappoint us we need four more years of Our Cartoon President to get through this
Why would they show such a climactic clip from the movie???? Should have shown a clip from earlier on in the movie of him interacting with Denzel
Made me want to see it.
loved the movie
enjoyed the movies but please ridley scott change writers
plus listen to experts advice a little bit.
it would make the introvless comical to watch and i believe it was not intended

Nothing wrong with the actors. Paul should continue to make movies like All of us strangers
❤❤
All of the chicken? Where do I sign to be an actor in gladiator movies?
Where's Elvis Costello........
I am not into Gladiator movies. Never heard of this actor before. I will find the movie "Normal People" and watch this psychological thriller film.
The Arena 😞 yikes
Ok. I'm not ready for a Roman-Irish gladiator either. I'll catch this when it streams which will be pretty soon.
As opposed to the original being Roman Australian. Were there any actors in the original that were “Roman”
@@liamjohnhawkins4212 I don't know. Most accents in Gladiator I were British. But the Roman-Australian sounded closer to British than the Roman-Irish actor does in Gladiator II.
This movie is not good . Nothing compare to the first one. I really love Gladiator. I saw it so many times :)))
awww that was kind of disappointing. the clip didnt make me believe that his voice could ignite the mens fire for revolution. like his voice was missing something, but will still watch the movie
Ah that’s just a complaint to complain like cmon
You’re absolutely right. There was zero passion or fire in that speech. And I’ll wait until the movie is streaming.
Sloppy seconds!
Who else is unimpressed that Ridley Scott is spending enough money to end child hunger in the United States to make a historically inaccurate soft porn action movie?
This movie (and acting frankly) are beyond lame..-.-
First Trump gets re-elected, then a sequel to Gladiator. That's it. I'm out.
you give up easy ya wuss !!
Ur a disgrace stephen ....
can someone please style this boy’s hair for once
its messy curly style, what r u talking about
Absolutely not love his hair

@@kylieb-p2515 thank you! I hope he'll grow out of it
@@zizinnnn Ditto!

Oh shut up. You know nothing at all about his training.
Furrrstt!
Explain the accent please.
Irish.
Kildare we have many different accent in Ireland
He is an overrated actor.
Doesn’t wanna be rude… but he doesn’t have the charisma for that role…. He seems a poet, not a fighter… I hope didn’t ruined the legacy 🤷♂️ Would be better just have one Galdiator
Gladiator 2 was trash. The legacy of Maximus reins too much in the movie.
Spoiler alert: Maximus did slay the evil emperor of the Roman Empire in the old movie. That will create a legacy. Disappearing everyone from that movie, off screen, to create a completely unrelated story would have made zero sense.
@ Spoiler Alert: No shit and that’s not what I was referring too.
It's now been more than two comments since you've used the word "woke" in an argument. Are you feeling alright?
@@TheRealDuckofDeath I think you are slowly falling into a stroke… are you smelling burnt toast…?? cause I don’t understand what you think “woke” has to do with a movie. But get in where you fit in, little man. 😆😆
The word is "reigns".

Beta male? Lol please grow up

How do you judge when it hasn’t come out yet. Smh.
@ which country you in? It’s been out for a week here in the UK 😂
