Paul Mescal is an example of a truly transformative actor who knows how to give a raw, authentic performance. His best movies include portraying a young father in A24’s Aftersun, a mysterious neighbor in All of Us Strangers,

During the “Irish or Not Irish” game, Mescal gave a perhaps surprising answer when asked if Daisy Edgar-Jones, his (British) co-star in the smash hit series “Normal People,” is Irish or not Irish. “Honorary Irish person,” he said with a big smile, adding that she has Irish family.

The actor, who appears in a new episode of "Hot Ones," told Variety that one of the main reasons for wanting to be in the "Gladiator" sequel was to work with director Ridley Scott.
