The stars of Hulu's Normal People on the "raunchy trailer" and their favorite soundtracks

- Unless you’ve been watching HBO’s Gentleman Jack or have been keeping up with the Irish theater scene, you might be unfamiliar with actors Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal. But that’s about to change thanks to Hulu’s Normal People-an adaptation of best-selling author Sally Rooney’s second novel-which casts the pair as Marianne and Connell, two students whose charged romance plays out against the backdrop of Ireland’s economic downturn in the 2000s. With an easy charm and a lived-in on-screen chemistry, Edger-Jones and Mescal feel destined to be the object of the internet’s affection, swooned over and gif’d for many months to come. As it turns out, the actors are just as endearing in person, which we learned when we sat down with them this past January at the TCA’s winter press tour. The pair discussed their whirlwind audition process, the question of what makes this a “millennial” love story, and shared their thoughts on Twitter dubbing BBC’s teaser the “horny trailer.” And, because Normal People has a few great needle drops of its own, we had Edger-Jones and Mescal discuss some of their favorite soundtracks, from Drive to Big Little Lies.

I could not be an actress. I would fall in love with my on screen partner lol
Totally! You see it happen ALL THE TIME! So you could totally still be an actress ;)
I hope they make more movies or series together, they have a really good on screen bond, just like Timothee Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan
Chloe Lavin very very true. So I’m guessing there will be no second season? Not that I want a second season because the fact that the first season is absolute perfection and could not be topped. This series doesn’t really need a second season. Though I’d love one❤️
@@kimberly7303 ooh I just meant I hope they work on another series together, that isnt normal people, because yeah there wont be another one. Such a beautiful series tho xo
and ryan gosling and emma stone
You mean Timothee and Saorise in Lady Bird? I don't really think they had that great chemistry.
So true about their chemistry. Would love to see them in a movie together
I love how they portrayed the sex scenes here like an actual “making love” thing. And the way they emphasize that it’s not the same with others. It feels, divine, and it is as if they are actually connected together.
binged it in two sittings, what a series
Me too! My husband and I love it so much! ❤️
I watched it all in 1 day which I now regret because I loved it so much I wish I had spread it over a longer time
I watched from 10pm-4:15am I couldn't stop watching. Loved it!! Will most definitely watch again.
I binged it like 3x
I was a “working class” lad at Glasgow Uni who met a girl from the other side of the tracks in the 1980s. Properly broke me for 2 years, a bit like this drama. Stunning.
The way they bounce off each other is very impressive. These two definitely developed a close friendship and not just co-workers. It's nice to watch how warm they are to each other. Almost like they finish each other's sentence.
I love how intellectual this show is. I never realized how sex is so debatable. I got it. It made me feel and think about my own life. I want someone to love me like that.
I’m 40 and my husband is 55 and we both absolutely adore the series and could 100% relate to it, thinking back to when we were their age. Their love story is so real because it isn’t perfect but what I love about Connell and Marianne is that their love for each other is so pure, so passionate and so selfless. All they really want is for each other to be happy. The actors played their characters beautifully and the show is amazing. It brought up all these old feelings from my past and relationships I had in my teens and twenties.
SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE SHOW OR READ BOOK.....
Some people thought the ending was sad and yes it was definitely bittersweet but it was also beautiful because it solidified just how much Marianne loves Connell that she wanted him to go and have this amazing experience in New York at the risk of everything changing between them again. That is what real love is, it’s is pure and selfless ❤️❤️
MsB inSYDNEY yes!
Lucky you!! :)
the magnetic this series trying to pull is seriously no joke. everytime i try to open my laptop, the temptation to watch the series over and over again is extremely irresistable.
It feels like a small crime against the universe that these two are not together in real life.
utterly brilliant actors, these two
Binged the whole show in one sitting..loved it & their chemistry was spot on.
The intimate scenes are the sexiest that I have ever seen. Nothing like it in US television series.
I did not expect the Drive Soundtrack to be mentioned in this interview, turns out Paul and Daisy are literally me
Just for point of reference, 59-year-old straight American male here. Watched this by myself because my wife isn't keen on love stories for some reason. Didn't 'binge' because I preferred to spread out the enjoyment of looking forward to what happens next over a longer period. Loved the show and want to compliment all involved, particular these two fine performers. Can't imagine how difficult it was to perform some of those scenes, and I'm not just referring to the intimate ones. No idea if there is more to the story, but I kind of like it being left as it was. We can choose how we think it continues.
wow great chemistry even in interviews
Did he just say “ 500 days of summer” soundtrack ? How cool would it be to see these two do a remake of that movie. They would be perfect.
I love Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones. Their acting is simply superb!!!
Daisy is just so incredibly pretty. Well done Daisy...a brilliant performance! Happy 23rd Birthday for the 24 May 2021.
This is the first time I prefer a visual adaptation to a book. Her writing is OK. These two really bring out the emotions and beauty that I did not get from her writing.
This is the best series I’ve watched in a long time,two brilliant performances,I hope there’s a second series and I hope Daisy and Paul do films together,their chemistry is perfect,absolutely loved it,I hope they win lots of awards for this!❤️❤️❤️
DAISY IS SUCH A WONDERFUL ACTOR
actress
@@irishirish8013 actor
Madama Butterfly actor : male. actress: female.
@@irishirish8013 no, nobody cares about the distinction anymore, you can keep insisting if you'd like though
she’s BEAUTIFUL
Binged and loved it. Very close to the book. Waiting to see they collect awards!
Amen to that.
The fact that he loves the Drive soundtrack just makes me love him even more
I so want it to be like the Before Sunrise trilogy. 🥺
THE WAY THE LOOK AT EACH OTHER
Sometimes, they forget if they play for the series or it is real life.
I'm kind of mad they did not ask Paul more about that breathtaking scene with the psychologist, I;'d love to know more about that process.
The soundtrack is just as awesome as the story.
I think everyone loves normal people because we all relate to it in our own way. Well At least I know I did, and all of my friends that have also read it too
Watched all in one sitting and I think I cried at every episode. Loved this so much, hope there’ll be a second series x
Love her neckline!!!! the blouse is just amazing!! I want it:(
adore them both
A follow up series has to be made 10/10
I don't think that there is nothing to be seen after that season. Maybe it would get worse even...
so so good!
their music taste 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Brilliant
This interview is such a shout
Lovely Interview of Daisy E-J in which she really showing her maturity. A beautiful women with and prodigious talent. Mescal has now spoken of his pride in his co-star after she was nominated for a Golden Globes award. He wrote, "“Could not be prouder of you my friend.” What a great guy!
prolly "Nikes" by Frank Ocean, actually appears in da 5 chapter, and that gives a lot of emotions to that scene u kno
i like it when Daisy's mom respond to it like "oh.. it's a little raunchy, Daisy." gAAAHHHHh 🙈🙈🙈
Daisy is twiddling her fingers just like Marianne does xx
Call me a romantic, but she’s into him!
Ahmed El-Etriby that would be the dream 🤞🏼
the fact that they mentioned Drive and Big Little Lies makes them 100 times hotter!
Hey I googled the songs but couldn’t find it, could you please specify the songs’ titles?
People romanticise this but I was in a relationship with someone like Connell and it was frustrating the bad communication. Biggest relief to get away
But, to be fair to the character, that communication deficiency was in large part a byproduct of his deep-seated anxiety. The character of Marianne also had troubles with communication (i.e. standing up for herself), which were rooted in her psychological struggles. Neither partner was perfect.
They reference 500 days of summer! Daisy Edgar Jones is Zooey Deschanel’s doppelgänger! I kept wondering who she reminded of.
Anne Hathaway, Zooey and Dakota Johnsson. But also a bit of Lili Reinhardt
To be honest I don't watch much tv but by accident I caught an episode and i was just blown away so I had to binge all 12 in one sitting, Daisy Edgar Jones is the best young actress I have seen in a long time and lights up the screen. I thought the ending was probably the weakest part of this brilliant show as it left so much hanging given there is no second book in the offering
From which episode is "I feel nothing for you" dialogue from ? 4:23 i cant find it in the series
I'm 55 and Uni for me was very simialr...
I love the drive soundtrack
track’s name ???
they are cute together ☺️💕
4:23- can anybody tell which episode is this from? ( where Marianne says "I feel nothing for you..")
I was wondering the same! Some of the audio bits played here are not actually in the show, as far as i can tell, but i think sound like sentences that are in the book
I think that scene was in one of the trailers shown by Hulu. It's not in the actual show but Marianne does say it to Gareth in the books
I really like them, but them mentioning 500DOS, make me like them even more!
They're not even millenials, they're gen-Zs... T_T I feel old..
the characters are born like 1992/3 so they are millenials (albeit at the tail end)
@@hughesp3tcd i meant in real life lol
@@nikkinique25 paul is a millennial..
If look up the definition of classy and necessary love scenes, you will find this movie.
Only a millennial or later would say that "it could be describing the ways they communicate" because they never lived in a world where essentially free or very cheap
instant communication with sound and visuals or instant text messaging wasn't continuously available so that as long as someone hasn't changed their cell
phone number you can always be in touch with them the instant you wish to be, so that these star crossed lovers so easily kept in contact from high school on despite being tongue tied and extremely socially maladapted. Thus is a love story that could only happen after the information revolution began. Their love is timeless but their story is entirely dependent on the connections through social media that support their situation.
50 years ago you easily lost track of friends when they went to college. Now you can find almost anyone living almost anywhere within an hour of deciding you want to. Sometimes even if they've changed their names.
ah yes, love the point abt intellectual equality!
it is an okay show....follows the book page by page, scene to scene every dialogue is identical to the book... was hoping for something more, something more than the books or a different interpretation but was kinda disappointed that the show was so scared to deviate even an inch from the book very rare for such a literal translation... the acting was phenomenal though esp. as they are both so inexperienced, brilliant in that regard.
@bumdog yes
WAIT, SHE IS NOT IRISH??!!??!!??
Nope! She is gifted!!
0
These kids are brilliant BUT...Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe (Outlander) still the winners and still champions of the most erotic sex scenes EVER!!!!
This story is wonderful. Not just about sex!
An Irish connection there then
Not the most explicit sex scenes by any means,yet the most erotic and arousing ones that I have ever seen.
Anyone who thinks this is fucking brilliant??
The teeny-tiny saxophone quickly employ because mistake immunohistochemically peck absent a youthful israel. spotty, known badger
I feel like it’s mainly middle age woman audience
A load of rubbish.
Here we go again. I think you are secretly obsessed.
T.r.o.l.l.
